I’m joined by Tom Fawcett, a business builder who has led start-ups within some of the UK’s biggest automotive names, including JLR and the AA. We explore how he’s turned ideas into real businesses with P&L responsibility, balancing the demands of innovation with commercial delivery. Tom shares his experiences bringing AI and data-driven services to life — from predictive maintenance and breakdown prevention to vision AI in customer apps — and the challenges of adoption, trust, and proving value. We also discuss future-proofing mobility through connected cars, subscriptions, and AI-driven services, before reflecting on what it really takes to lead high-performing teams inside corporate environments. Tom offers candid advice for automotive leaders and paints a picture of how AI could transform the way we use and own vehicles over the next decade.
