Ross Jackson - Member Profile

I help organisations unlock the commercial value of emerging technologies—especially AI, data analytics, and blockchain—by leading complex transformations with strategic clarity and practical execution.

As a former EY Partner and Head of Advanced Financial Analytics, I’ve led high-impact programmes using machine learning, NLP, and generative AI to deliver actionable insights and new revenue streams for over 1,000 clients globally. My experience spans from developing trust-based analytics to building subscription-based data platforms that embed technology into decision-making at scale.

I specialise in bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and commercial strategy—ensuring that technologies like AI are adopted responsibly, deliver real business value, and are trusted by regulators and stakeholders alike. My work often involves aligning cross-functional leadership teams, managing change across complex organisations, and guiding businesses through high-stakes transitions.

With a background in strategy, risk, and operational excellence, I bring a pragmatic lens to AI enablement, digital trust, and performance optimisation. Whether leading turnarounds, enabling growth, or navigating cultural change, I focus on measurable impact and sustainable transformation.

My sector experience spans manufacturing, TMT, extractives, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, private equity, and the public sector. I’ve worked across the UK, China, and Japan—combining cultural fluency with commercial rigour to drive global results.
