➡️ Learn from legacy: how Denis’s family consultancy journey shaped his leadership mindset
➡️ Embed a data culture across teams and lead sustainable transformation
Denis brings a grounded, practical lens to AI — not the hype, but the hands-on work of building, selling, and embedding innovation in companies that don’t have time (or budget) to waste. Whether you’re a founder, consultant, or digital leader inside a traditional business, this episode is full of real lessons from the frontlines.
