ABOUT
Unlocking the value of Artificial Intelligence.
Anterospective means looking forward with the benefit of hindsight. It is a founder-led practice for AI strategy, data governance and interim AI leadership.
THE FOUNDER
David Lindop
David is a board advisor and interim Chief Data and AI Officer who helps boards and executives turn data and AI into commercial outcomes, while keeping credible control evidence in regulated environments.
He was previously Global Chief Data Officer for EY Consulting, where he led AI-driven data strategy and an ontology-led approach to data and knowledge management. He has more than 30 years in data, technology and transformation.
His recent executive mandates include defining the AI & Data strategy and roadmap for a FTSE 250 Wealth and Asset Management business, setting the post-separation data and AI direction for a retail financial services business and serving as interim Chief Product and Technology Officer for a private-equity-backed global recruitment group.
David speaks regularly on AI leadership and AI’s effect on work, including at Microsoft FabCon, Manchester Tech Festival, Data Vision London and the London Tech Leadership Conference.

The most effective leaders of hybrid human and AI teams will bring business context, judgement and a working knowledge of AI, data and model risk.
HOW WE WORK
Principles we hold to
The same principles apply whether the engagement is a board workshop or an interim executive mandate.
Business first
Strategy before technology, outcomes before tools
Buy, then build
Commodity capability is bought, and only real differentiation is built
Evidence explicit
Governance and audit trails are visible in every AI decision
Capability stays
Skills and assets remain in your organisation
