Lee C.
Stonehouse

Board Advisor & AI-Enabled HR Architect

My career began inside UBS and Salomon Smith Barney, developing equity valuation models and managing fund portfolios before I ever held an HR title. When I moved into senior People leadership, that capital markets background defined what I could see and what I could build.

I design and deploy AI-enabled people architecture for high-growth and regulated businesses, connecting workforce data, conduct analytics, performance governance, and executive intelligence into systems that give leadership genuine visibility rather than retrospective reporting.

My sweet spot is businesses between 100 and 1,500 people where the founding team is scaling fast and the board wants data, not narrative.

Intellectual Territory

Six Areas of Board-Level Expertise

01
⬡
AI in HR
Practical deployment of AI-enabled people architecture. Working systems that deliver real-time workforce intelligence to executive leadership, not aspiration decks.
02
◈
People Risk Intelligence
The PRIF framework. Six-layer architecture connecting conduct data, performance signals, and governance outputs into a single boardroom-ready intelligence model.
03
◫
Workforce Governance
Policy, compliance, and regulatory frameworks that hold under pressure in regulated, high-growth environments where the cost of governance failure is significant.
04
◎
Human Capital Value Protection
The workforce as an asset class. ROI on People investment. The CFO conversation most HR leaders cannot have, because they were never trained to think in those terms.
05
◬
Just Culture + Analytics
Fairness at scale through data. Conduct equivalence scoring. Consistent disciplinary outcomes. Tribunal risk elimination. Culture as architecture, not a values statement.
06
◭
Board-Level Workforce Insight
Executive dashboards, RemCo advisory, and NED-ready workforce reporting. The People leader as a risk and governance peer, not a functional service provider.
Proprietary Framework

The People Risk
Intelligence Framework

The PRIF is a six-layer workforce intelligence architecture designed to give executive leadership and boards real-time visibility of people risk, conduct patterns, and governance compliance, in the same analytical language that finance and risk functions have spoken for decades.

Not a product. An operating model, deployable within a single quarter in any regulated or high-growth business, built on standard enterprise tooling with no proprietary software lock-in.

"The board wants data, not narrative. PRIF delivers the analytical credibility for the CPO at the top table that a finance director has had for thirty years."
