mentor profile
15+ years guiding property developers, consultants, government bodies, and asset owners through digital transformation that actually works. Casey brings a unique perspective: trained as an architect, experienced in technology strategy, focused on outcomes over buzzwords.
As Partner and Chief Data & Digital Officer at Property Cortex, Casey leads a company that simplifies digital transformation for the built environment. They don't just deliver plans and frameworks, they embed capability, build confidence, and ensure technology works with your teams.
Global Relevance:
The property and construction industries are drowning in digital initiatives that promise transformation but often deliver complexity. Technology mandates without capability. Digital twins with no use case. AI strategies disconnected from business reality. ESG frameworks that create reporting burden without operational change.
Casey's focus: cutting through the hype and delivering digital transformation that serves business goals, empowers people, and creates long-term value.
What Casey Offers:
Architectural Foundation: A professional architecture background means he understands how buildings are actually designed, built, and operated, not just how technology vendors say they should be
People-First Approach: Human-centric digital transformation - solving problems for people, building team capability, managing change effectively, and ensuring adoption isn't an afterthought
International Experience: Delivered successful digital transformation programmes across the Middle East, UK, Europe, and international markets, understanding regional differences in regulation, practice, and maturity
Software & Service Agnostic: Independent, standards-led advice grounded in international best practice and open data, recommending what works.
Full Spectrum Expertise: From foundational change management to advanced smart places, digital twins, ESG integration, and AI strategy, PropertyCortex meets clients where they are on their digital journey
Practical Innovation: Balancing innovation with practicality, Casey knows the difference between what's possible, what's ready, and what's actually appropriate for your organisation
