Thirty years at the intersection of leadership, research, and institutional change. From Deputy Vice-Chancellor to Director — turning deep expertise into lasting impact.
Over three decades spanning higher education and the private sector, I have advised, led, and built across some of the most complex organisational environments in the UK and beyond.
I am the first Slovenian to reach Executive level across multiple UK higher education institutions. Currently serving as Director at WLC Ltd, I bring that same depth of experience to building high-performing organisations.
Working with senior leaders at the boundary between personal mastery and organisational inertia. Helping high performers create lasting impact beyond their immediate domain.
Designing and leading industry-led research programmes, innovation pipelines, and commercialisation strategies. £30m+ track record across UK higher education and industry.
Academic research and applied expertise in digital engineering, digital twins, and technology-driven transformation in the built environment. Published, internationally recognised.
Designing enterprise programmes that produced 100+ student startups. Mentoring founders at the intersection of academic rigour and commercial ambition.
Designing and delivering executive development programmes in the UK and internationally — tailored to the specific challenges of senior leaders and emerging executives.
Practical, no-nonsense guidance on integrating AI and emerging technologies into organisational strategy. Cutting through hype to what actually changes outcomes.
Speaking engagements, media enquiries, professional connections, and collaboration — I read every message personally.
