Accelerate AI success in your organisation with Dr. Mark Bloomfield, speaker and authority on AI implementation. As a Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, Mark works directly with senior executives to develop actionable AI frameworks and future-ready strategies, delivering deep expertise to Vodafone, BUPA, Unilever, Pfizer, and more.
For over 15 years, Dr. Mark Bloomfield has been applying artificial intelligence to solve complex business challenges—long before ChatGPT made it mainstream. As a fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, Mark works closely with senior executives to inform the implementation of AI across their organisations. His expert insights are trusted by major global companies, including Vodafone, BUPA, Unilever, and Pfizer. Operating at the rare intersection of academia, business, and technology, Mark brings a perspective few can match.
Mark’s journey began with a PhD developing AI optimisation algorithms for Airbus aircraft structures. He then took that rigorous technical foundation into the commercial world, where as Director of Commercial Transformation at Global Media & Entertainment, he built AI systems that generated eight-figure returns.
Today, Mark sits uniquely at this three-way intersection: He's a Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, actively consults with organisations worldwide, and maintains deep technical expertise from his engineering background and ongoing AI implementations. This rare combination means he can speak to your board, your tech team, and your customers with equal credibility.
As a Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, Mark teaches senior executives the same frameworks he used to navigate previous employers and clients through AI adoption. His approach is refreshingly practical: no hype, no fearmongering, just actionable strategies you can implement on Monday morning.
Beyond the keynote stage, Mark advises organisations worldwide on maximising the AI opportunity—from FTSE 250 and Fortune 500 companies reshaping their business models to scale-ups building AI into their DNA. He has already brought his insights to leading organisations such as Bauer Media, Domino's, RWE, and more. This hands-on work with diverse global clients means Mark brings fresh, tested strategies from the frontlines of AI implementation every time, not theoretical frameworks.
Mark is in demand for his highly customisable in person and virtual keynotes, interactive workshops, boardroom briefings, and multi-session transformation programs. Book him today to give your organisation the clarity, tools, and confidence to lead in the age of AI.
Topics, sessions and talks
Most AI initiatives stall because they speed up broken processes rather than reimagining how work gets done. In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield shares what genuine transformation looks like – running friction audits to strip out bottlenecks, proving value quickly, then scaling with confidence. Drawing on real examples from banking, energy, and government, you'll see how to move from experimentation to lasting impact.
What if AI could help us become more creative, more curious, more distinctly human in how we lead? In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield explores the art of thinking alongside artificial intelligence – using AI in ways that make us more human, not less. Discover how to deploy AI where capacity is most needed, including augmenting your own thinking. You'll explore AI as a voice around the table, not 'the table' itself – a powerful collaborator that sharpens judgement while leaving the decisions firmly with you.
AI is a capability, not a product. The organisations creating genuine advantage are building the people, structures, culture, and processes to enable it. This energising session with Dr. Mark Bloomfield cuts through the noise with a clear principle: start with the problem, not the technology. You'll leave with practical frameworks for identifying where AI creates real value in your context – and the confidence to act on it.
Sustainable AI adoption requires solid foundations: data quality, trust, and explainability. Without them, AI just scales bad decisions faster. In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield explores how leading organisations are getting the fundamentals right – redesigning workflows, building collective fluency, and creating cultures where continuous learning thrives. Ideal for leaders ready to move beyond pilots toward genuine organisational readiness.
What if you could test your boldest ideas before committing resources? This session explores how forward-thinking leaders are using AI to simulate before action – de-risking decisions by testing strategies with modelled scenarios and audiences. You'll discover practical approaches for bringing AI into strategic conversations as a trusted thinking partner, helping you navigate complexity with greater clarity and confidence.
