Making industrial AI pay for itself

Global Lead for Business Consulting at Honeywell Process Automation, based in Dubai.

I work with refiners, chemical producers, and miners on the least glamorous part of digital transformation — proving the value case before the spend, deploying the technology, and then measuring what actually landed. Most industrial AI programmes fail somewhere between the pilot and the P&L. That gap is the work.

Mechanical engineering PhD by training, McKinsey by apprenticeship, operator by trade.

What I do

Value creation
Operational improvement programmes across refining, chemicals, and metals and mining. Non-capex levers first: capacity, energy, maintenance, and manning. Typically 2-12% EBITDA uplift with payback inside two years.

Digital and OT transformation
Autonomous operations, advanced process control, predictive maintenance, digital twins, and industrial AI assistants — taken from business case through deployment to measured value.

Strategy and corporate development
Commercial strategy, market entry, go-to-market design, and commercial due diligence for acquisitions in industrial technology.
