European thinking is more than a regulatory checklist
Technology decisions in Europe often sit inside a dense system of national markets, languages, worker and customer expectations, data responsibilities, regulated processes, procurement practices and long-lived enterprise platforms. The useful question is not simply “what rule applies?” but “how should the operating model and architecture work across this environment?”
Where I can help
- Review a global platform or target architecture through the needs of European operations
- Assess application and integration choices across countries
- Design governance that can work across central and local teams
- Challenge vendors proposing a one-size-fits-all rollout
- Structure AI adoption with appropriate human oversight and data boundaries
- Translate between executive intent, European business operations and technical design
What I bring
My background combines European enterprise environments, regulated and public-sector settings, applications and integration, architecture governance, delivery and operations. I approach the organisation as a system: local adaptations, central platforms, information flows and decision rights interact, so optimising any one part in isolation can make the whole worse.
