Leadership and AI Strategy

I am a senior leader and the founder of Starlight, the UK’s teacher-first AI-powered coaching platform for schools. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, reflective practice, and responsible AI adoption.

​

For over two decades, I have worked in education, leading teaching and learning and supporting whole-school improvement. I understand the realities of school life: workload pressures, safeguarding responsibilities, policy complexity, and the challenge of leading change without overwhelming people.

​

AI presents both opportunity and risk. Schools do not need hype. They need clarity, structure, and strategy.

​

I support school leaders and multi-academy trusts to move from experimentation to coherence through:

​

AI strategy and governance frameworks
Practical, school-ready AI policies
Implementation that protects workload
Advisory on custom AI systems for education

​

My approach is grounded in lived leadership experience. Technology should strengthen, not replace, professional judgment.
