Associate Partner

Nick is a Partner at Arthur D. Little in the London office.

Nick focuses on how emerging digital technologies can be harnessed to drive transformation of both the business and its internal technology function. He believes that the technology patterns/approaches used by businesses in the past are no longer appropriate to challenges they now face, and that new approaches need to be adopted.

Over a 15-year career in technology consulting, Nick has worked across a wide range of sectors, including telco, media, transport, logistics, gaming, and energy, having considerable experience delivering global digital transformation initiatives, often from initial idea conception through to full product launch.

He has extensive experienced in managing large-scale Agile delivery and Phase 0 “art of the possible” proof-of-concept deliveries, which has resulted in winning awards at the “Ovum 2013 On The Radar Awards” and the “2014 MCA” awards.

Nick was personally shortlisted and subsequently awarded “Highly Commended” in the “Technology Consultant of the Year” category at the “2014 MCA Awards.”

Taking control of AI
For decades, organizations have struggled to connect employees with the internal knowledge and insights they need to make better, more informed, and timelier decisions. Finding the right information, at the right time, among the increasing volumes of structured and unstructured corporate data, and delivering it in the right format is business-critical. However, it is often like looking for a needle in a haystack.
