I help mid-sized FMCG companies prevent three simultaneous failures: regulatory non-compliance, business underperformance, and operational bypass — with one structured engagement.
EU AI Act Article 6 deadlines are real. Misclassifying your AI systems before gap analysis wastes budget and creates liability. Most consultants start in the wrong place.
Legal Boutiques Miss ThisOver-governing low-risk AI kills innovation. Under-governing high-risk AI creates liability. Right-sizing governance to each initiative requires operational judgment, not just frameworks.
Big 4 Miss ThisGovernance that doesn't integrate with your existing QHSE and compliance programs gets bypassed within months. Documents filed, systems ignored. This is compliance theater.
AI Vendors Miss ThisI spent 20 years running FMCG operations at Mars — managing supply chains, compliance programs, and production realities that consultants typically only read about.
That background means I walk into your facility and understand why the governance framework that looks perfect on paper will be bypassed by Week 3 — and how to design one that won't be.
I added formal AI governance credentials — ISO 42001 Lead Auditor, Wharton AI Strategy & Governance, MSc Data Science — not to become a different kind of consultant, but to give operational judgment a regulatory language.
The consultant who can speak in your boardroom and still understand your factory floor is a rare thing in AI governance right now.
A structured 4-week engagement designed for mid-sized FMCG companies. We begin where most consultants don't — with Article 6 risk classification — before any gap analysis is performed. This sequencing is the difference between a governance program that works and one that wastes budget.
Article 6 risk classification before gap analysis — the sequencing most consultants get backwards.
Identify all AI/ML initiatives. Apply Article 6 risk classification before any other analysis. Map to existing compliance frameworks.
Data governance audit. Explainability requirements. Human oversight gaps. Technical documentation review. Risk-calibrated to Week 1 classification.
Map governance requirements into existing QHSE, compliance, and risk management programs. Design for operational reality, not policy documents.
Prioritised compliance roadmap. Board-ready materials. Implementation quick wins identified. All deliverables transferred and presented.
Plain-English explanations of governance, accountability, and oversight terms — as they appear in the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and real FMCG operations. Look up any term below.
If you're unsure whether you need a full sprint, a 30-minute diagnostic call will tell you where you stand. No pitch — just an honest assessment of your AI governance exposure.
