Lizโs work goes far beyond technology oversight. She helps boards strengthen governance around digital, data, cyber, and AI risk, while ensuring technology investments remain aligned with strategy, risk appetite, and long-term value creation. Her approach bridges the gap between technical specialists and business leaders, helping organisations make better decisions with greater confidence.
Liz believes organisations rarely fail because they lack technology. The deeper problems often sit within operating models, governance, decision-making, and organisational culture. Her track record includes reducing reporting creation time by 65%, cutting regulatory compliance costs by 40%, and improving data accuracy to over 96%.
Liz is the author of ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐๐ฐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ and ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ, with a third book, ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ง๐๐, forthcoming. She has published more than 200 articles and engaged with over 4,000 people through keynotes, conferences, events, and workshops.
From her work as an Executive Advisor & Chief Architect at Capgemini to her board and advisory roles, Liz is increasingly focused on what comes next: AI, automation, quantum, and the organisational changes they will demand. Her central question is not simply how organisations can adopt new technology, but how they must redesign the way work gets done to thrive in an AI-enabled future.
