About Krishna

I help organisations that have not started with AI find their first use case, and organisations that have started make adoption actually stick.

25+ years in enterprise change, including 9 years at IBM where I took a global delivery organisation's adoption from 12% to 87% in 90 days. More recently I built a governed knowledge hub for an engineering organisation in five days: 150+ documents indexed, 11 engineers querying cited internal knowledge in their first week.

What I do:
- AI opportunity discovery and adoption roadmaps that name owners and success measures before spend
- AI enablement programmes: role-based training, governance rhythms, capability transfer
- Private AI and RAG delivery: knowledge hubs, document intelligence, source-cited answers
- Agile operating models and delivery recovery in complex, regulated, cross-cultural environments

I work build-with-you, not build-for-you. The day your team does not need me is the goal, and I say so up front.

Director at Leadership Tribe (UK consultancy, est. 2017). Founder of AIUndecided. Microsoft AI Transformation Leader certification in progress. I publish weekly on practical AI adoption to a newsletter of 1,300+ subscribers.

Delivered knowledge hub and document intelligence patterns for source-grounded answers, document processing and human review workflows. Built private AI and controlled-access patterns for organisations concerned with data control, cost, access, runbooks and operating boundaries.
