Executive statement
Dwynwen Hopcroft is a Head of AI and Digital Transformation specialising in turning AI opportunities into governed, measurable and operationally useful solutions, particularly within health, care and complex regulated environments. Her experience spans AI strategy, use-case identification, business-case development, governance, procurement, technical delivery, implementation, adoption and benefits realisation. She has led organisation-wide AI opportunity scoping, identifying 95 potential use cases and developing the resulting business case for a multi-phase agentic AI programme, which she now leads. Dwynwen has also led the end-to-end procurement and implementation of AI-enabled technologies, including ambient AI, establishing governance and evaluation approaches and coordinating large-scale testing. One implementation subsequently reported savings of approximately £10,000 per month. Her background spans technology, frontline social work, NHS Continuing Healthcare, service development and AI leadership, giving her particular expertise in bridging technical capability, professional practice and organisational priorities. Alongside her executive role, Dwynwen is undertaking a Professional Doctorate and contributes to external teaching and sector discussions on AI adoption, ethics, professional judgement and evidence standards. She is interested in selective fractional leadership opportunities involving AI strategy, transformation, governance, adoption and measurable value creation.
Leadership scope
Programme scope: approximately £1m annual organisational investment. I lead the multidisciplinary technical delivery of the programme, which I developed from an organisation-wide assessment of 95 AI use cases into an approved multi-phase business proposal. Budgetary ownership sits at organisational level rather than being directly delegated to me.
Selected outcomes
- Built an organisation-wide AI programme — identified 95 use cases, secured approval for an agentic AI business case and led multidisciplinary delivery.
- Delivered measurable AI value — established responsible governance, supported clinical adoption and achieved £10,000 monthly savings.
