Speaking and conversations
I've spent years in manufacturing sales and now work hands-on with IT, data and AI. I can bring that mix to a podcast, panel or community event: what the technology promises, what happens in practice, and what the business actually needs.
What I can talk about
These come from work I've written about, so you can see the substance before you invite me.
AI and ERP
Six tools in my Acumatica connector passed unit tests, then failed against a real tenant. The useful story is what those failures revealed about designing AI tools people can trust.

An AI assistant can return an answer quickly. Agreeing what sales, margin or downtime means across a business takes longer. I've taken that question from a Power BI developer talk into hands-on semantic-model work.

I've been through a Navision-to-Acumatica migration from inside the business. Partial shipments, credit holds and shadow spreadsheets can matter more than the tidy process map.

I co-host the show with Nirav Shah and Emily Browning. We talk about choosing, implementing and living with ERP, including the data and AI questions that follow. Good guest stories are welcome across the whole show.
For hosts and organisers
Tell me who the audience is, the question you want to explore, the format and any likely dates. A rough idea is fine. I'm happy to shape the conversation with you.
