Your guide through the AI landscape

I'm Simon Poole. I help company directors and senior executives understand AI—what it can do, what it can't, and what questions your board should be asking.

With a background spanning private equity, chartered accountancy, and board-level governance, I bring a practical, commercially-grounded perspective to AI. No hype, no jargon—just clear thinking about what matters.
