A senior thought partner at the table.
Some problems don't need a project. They need someone who understands both the philosophical underpinnings and the operational realities — and who can be at the table, regularly, as the organisation navigates them.
Advisory work is about building capacity to make better decisions over time: on AI governance, responsible technology strategy, ESG commitments, and the organisational design questions that sit underneath all of them. It's available on a fractional basis, as an ongoing retainer, or for specific strategic engagements.
Who this is for
Boards seeking independent counsel on AI governance and responsible technology at a time when regulatory expectations are shifting quickly
C-suite leaders who need a thought partner across AI ethics, ESG, and people strategy — without a full-time hire
Organisations building in the AI governance or responsible technology space who need an advisor with both academic rigour and practitioner depth
Leadership teams preparing for significant transitions — regulatory change, AI adoption at scale, public ESG commitments — who want an expert voice in the room
Engagement Types
Making responsible commitments credible to every audience
Helping organisations communicate their AI governance and responsible technology commitments credibly — to customers, investors, regulators, and the public. Draws on experience in corporate communications, ESG reporting, and responsible AI strategy. Covers narrative development, stakeholder mapping, and the substance that needs to underpin any credible claim.
Regular access, without the overhead
Ongoing advisory relationship on a monthly retainer basis. Structured as a regular cadence of sessions, with availability for ad hoc consultation in between. Covers AI governance, responsible technology strategy, ESG, and people systems — whatever the organisation most needs at a given moment. Minimum engagement: three months.
Specific support for a defined challenge
For organisations that need expert input on a specific question, decision, or transition — but not an ongoing relationship. Available on a project basis with a defined scope, timeline, and deliverable. Examples include: advising on AI procurement decisions, reviewing responsible AI claims ahead of publication, or supporting a board through a specific governance question.
Independent expertise where governance decisions are made
Providing independent, expert counsel to boards and executive teams on AI governance, ESG obligations, and responsible technology strategy. Particularly valuable for boards navigating the intersection of regulatory change and technology adoption — where the questions are genuinely hard and the stakes of getting it wrong are high.
What makes this different?
Advisory relationships work when the advisor understands your world specifically — not just the theory. Aubrey's current role at The Ethics Centre, combined with 15 years inside Atlassian, Culture Amp, and global enterprise, means she brings both institutional credibility and practical operational experience to every engagement.
She is also a current Cambridge postgraduate researcher in AI Ethics and Society, which means the academic framing she brings to advisory work reflects where the field actually is — not where it was five years ago
