My name is Armando Sanchez.
I've spent over two decades helping organisations navigate the messy, complex reality of business and technology transformation.
I focus on delivering change that's both meaningful and tangible, not just another programme that looks good on paper.
Let's connect and see if there's a way I can help your organisation move forward.

Let's unlock what AI can actually do for your business
I keep pace with the latest AI developments so you don't have to.
Whether it's LLMs, AI agents, RAG, vector databases, or agentic workflows, I help organisations cut through the hype and build transformation models that genuinely work.
From redesigning how you operate to deploying smart automations that save time and money, I'm here to help your business move faster and do more with AI.
I've helped complex organisations navigate the messy reality of transformation
Whether it's adopting new technology, driving change programmes, or modernising legacy systems, I've been there – guiding teams through the challenges that don't make it into the slide decks. I partner with organisations to deliver strategic transformation that sticks and helps you meet regulatory requirements without the usual headaches.

Tech Enabled Efficiency
Supporting organisations in re-engineering their business and technology transformation functions to maximise return on investment.​
From setting up new teams to refining what's already there, I've established and led transformation management across organisations of all shapes and sizes.
I help you re-engineer how transformation works in your business – so your projects deliver real value, not just busy work and PowerPoint decks.
20+ years getting my hands dirty with transformation
I've spent over two decades in the thick of it, working across Strategy, Transformation, and Technology-led change programmes.
I've also worked closely with Risk (Second Line of Defence) and Internal Audit (Third Line of Defence), so I know what good governance actually looks like when the pressure's on.
