Peter Allen

Director, Prosilience Ltd

Peter Allen is an executive and strategic advisor with over 30 years’ experience leading complex transformation in global organisations. He argues that in the age of AI, the greatest risk is not failed technology but failed leadership, when human judgement, accountability, and values are delegated to systems without explicit governance or assurance.

With postgraduate qualifications in Artificial Intelligence and Leadership from the University of Oxford, Peter advises CEOs, boards, and governments on AI adoption at scale, challenging leaders to recognise their role as custodians of an organisation’s soul. In an age where AI capability becomes a commodity, soul is the only sustainable advantage.

As Executive Director of National Highways, Peter was accountable for multi-billion-pound portfolios under statutory, ministerial, and public scrutiny, integrating AI while strengthening assurance, risk management, and governance.

He held senior roles in European financial institutions, operating at the centre of regulatory and systemic risk, where he led AI-enabled regulatory frameworks to strengthen oversight and accountability.
