From DesignOps to RegOps
For years I built the operations that let design teams do their best work. Now I do the same for regulation.
Compliance is not a layer added at the end. It is a property of how the work is organised. I turn regulatory obligation into the workflows, controls and evidence that teams can run without stalling delivery.
What I do
Four ways to work together
Consulting
EU regulation & responsible AI
Operationalising the AI Act, GDPR, DORA and the EAA: the controls, documentation and compliant development processes teams can actually run.
Consulting & fractional roles
Design & R&D operations
Operating models, governance checkpoints, planning and capability mapping across design, product and engineering.
Teaching
Teaching & workshops
Guest lecturer since 2003, AI Act training for product and regulatory teams, and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops.
Research
Research & academia
European Commission expert evaluator since 2006, LSE research on data protection, six books and 19 papers.
Not all those who wander are lost.
