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
For organisations bringing AI and digital products to market: the AI Act, AI governance, GDPR and the European Accessibility Act, as controls, documentation and processes teams can actually run.
Consulting & fractional roles
DesignOps & R&D transformation
Operating model development, planning and capability mapping across design, product and engineering, as an adviser or in a fractional role.
Training
Corporate training & executive education
For teams needing practical knowledge: AI Act, responsible AI, GDPR and accessibility training, and DesignOps leadership, shaped to your teams. Teaching since 2002.
Research
Research & expert evaluation
Expert evaluation, policy and regulatory research, organisational studies and academic collaboration. European Commission evaluator since 2006.
Not all those who wander are lost.
