Milligan is delighted to announce the appointment of John Stenlake as our new Tech and AI Consultant, bringing over four decades of experience in technology, data, and AI innovation to our team.
John’s career spans leadership roles at Microsoft Corporation, including Director of AI Solutions and Director of Vehicle Innovation & Mobility for the Manufacturing and Mobility Industry, as well as Worldwide CTO for the Automotive sector.
His earlier roles include CTO at Living PlanIT AG—where he collaborated with Milligan on pioneering projects at London City Airport and the Mailbox, Birmingham—and Chief Architect at Ford Motor Company, culminating a 20-year tenure.
“Welcoming John back to Milligan is building upon a vital part of our innovation DNA,” said John Milligan. “His vision and technical leadership have been instrumental in some of our most forward-thinking projects, and we’re thrilled to have him back in a new age of AI as we deliver some of our most important regen led projects to date.”
“At Milligan, we believe that technology is not just a tool—it’s a transformative force in shaping the customer experience. As we continue to evolve our approach to placemaking and regeneration, AI is becoming a crucial part of our operations and the work we deliver across our projects. John’s appointment marks a significant step in our commitment to being at the forefront of exploring and applying AI in meaningful, impactful ways.”
Outside of tech, John is also the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for Visible Evidence, an ‘80s rock band (that actually started in the ‘80s!) — proof that innovation and creativity go hand in hand.
