Background
Stephen's approach to AI is grounded in engineering discipline, not hype. Before founding Coaley Peak®, he spent over a decade building data systems, measurement infrastructure, and automated processes for businesses operating across JAPAC, EMEA, LATAM, and NAMER — turning complex, multi-market data into decisions that could actually be acted on.
That background directly shapes how Coaley Peak® works today. The company's results-only model — where clients only pay once savings are independently verified — was designed by someone who understood from the outset how to measure outcomes rigorously and build systems that could prove them.
Today Stephen oversees the architecture of Owlpen — Coaley Peak's proprietary AI platform — and leads the commercial and technical direction of all client engagements. His focus is on deployments that move fast, integrate cleanly with what clients already have, and produce savings that can be independently confirmed before any invoice is raised.
Areas of focus
AI & Automation
Designing and deploying AI systems that replace manual processes, reduce overhead, and operate without an IT project on the client's side.
Cost Intelligence
Building the measurement infrastructure that finds, quantifies, and independently verifies savings across supplier spend, contracts, and operations.
Systems Integration
Connecting AI to existing tools and platforms — quickly, cleanly, and without disruption to what is already working.
Digital Strategy
Paid media optimisation, conversion intelligence, and data-driven decision frameworks for businesses that want measurable commercial outcomes.
Work with Stephen directly.
Every Coaley Peak® engagement is personally overseen by Stephen. You get a named director on your account from day one — not an account manager you've never met.
