Helping leaders govern AI responsibly — before regulation forces the question.

Founder of OmniSpace, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and advisor on AI governance and responsible innovation. I combine law, philosophy of science, and lived experience to help organisations deploy AI in line with UK and EU standards — while keeping human dignity at the centre.

About

A rare vantage on the most consequential technology of our time.

I'm the son of Congolese-Rwandan refugees, a Cambridge-trained lawyer, and the founder of OmniSpace — a UK-based AI consultancy and learning platform. My work sits at the intersection of law, the history and philosophy of science, and public policy.

In 2020, I crowdfunded over $106,000 in six weeks from 1,600 donors to study law at Cambridge — a story covered by The Times, The Guardian, and BBC Radio 5. Today I help organisations adopt AI effectively, ethically, and in line with emerging UK and EU governance expectations.

Through OmniSpace's AI Fluency Masterclass, I equip professionals to work confidently alongside AI within 30 days — because responsible innovation depends on the humans in the loop.
