And I've delivered what comes after.
Enterprise AI. Zero jargon. Actual results.
The Problem
The gap between AI ambition and AI execution is where transformations go to die — buried under legacy systems, organisational inertia, and the real pressure of keeping the business running while you rebuild it.
The Solution
I've sat in rooms where the decisions get made. I've led the programmes that delivered what came after. If you need a deck, hire a consultant. If you need it done — let's talk.
About
"The rigour of a programme director, the instinct of a strategist."
I'm Lisa Knight — a senior digital transformation executive with over a decade of experience leading complex, high-stakes technology programmes across the UAE and GCC.
I combine strategic clarity with hands-on delivery leadership — equally comfortable shaping AI strategy in the boardroom and managing the programme mechanics that make transformation actually land.
My work spans AI automation, customer intelligence platforms, enterprise CRM and CDP implementation, and large-scale ERP migrations including SAP S/4HANA RISE upgrades — delivered with rigorous change management and a non-negotiable focus on business continuity.
I bring the rigour of a programme director, the commercial instinct of a strategist, and the credibility of someone who has navigated real organisational complexity — not just advised on it.

What I Do
From propensity models to personalisation engines — strategy and delivery. AI-powered frameworks that turn customer data into real revenue.
Complex, high-stakes, business-critical RISE upgrades. Delivered without drama and without disrupting the operations that depend on them.
CRM, CDP, cloud-native stacks. Architecture that works in the real world — across SAP C4C, SAP CDP, Emarsys, and integrated data ecosystems.
Multi-workstream. Multi-stakeholder. One person holding the pace, managing interdependencies, and protecting operational stability throughout.
Governance frameworks, data stewardship, and capability roadmaps that sustain transformation beyond go-live — not just for the launch event.
Translating technical complexity into decisions. Trusted by Presidents and Group CEOs to bring clarity, speed, and commercial rigour to hard calls.
Transformation fails in the organisation, not the tech.
The hard part isn't deciding what to build —
it's keeping the business running while you build it.
