The story starts in hospitality, in the kind of environment where a delayed check-in is a lost relationship and a mis-planned rota is a lost quarter. That is where the practice learned its first discipline: operations are strategy, executed.
Graduate study followed in Lucerne, Switzerland: an MBA from Robert Gordon University, delivered with B.H.M.S. and awarded with Distinction, carrying dual specialisations in AI & Digital Transformation and in Cybersecurity & Big Data Management. Formal strategy, finance and governance training turned operating instinct into board-ready argument.
Then came the international years: engagements and leadership work across Kenya, Switzerland, Canada and global consulting projects. Different regulators, different cultures, the same underlying question — where does the value actually come from?
Artificial intelligence changed the answer. So the practice built rather than theorised: Frotom AI, an applied AI company, and Frotomica, an AI-powered emergency response, travel and safety platform connecting travellers, responders and providers in real time.
Today the work sits at that intersection — AI product development, software strategy, business consulting and hospitality operations — while an MSc in Technology & Management at CODE University of Applied Sciences is in progress.
