Peter is a regulatory strategy leader who guides programs from preclinical through to clinical and beyond, with experience across the full drug development lifecycle. He partners with biotech and biopharma teams to define regulatory roadmaps and secure early agency engagement.
Peter has led regulatory strategy and submissions across major regions, including EU CTAs, US INDs and Japan pathways and supported complex procedures such as scientific advice, paediatric plans, ATMPs and orphan designations. He has held board and non-executive roles and is a Fellow of TOPRA.
As founder of SRS AI Systems, Peter focuses on applying AI to improve key regulatory workflows while keeping human judgement central and decisions defensible.
Jennifer McKinney
Jennifer brings over 18 years of experience architecting production systems across MAANG institutions, global non-profits, retail supply chains, and medical device companies.
She recognised a critical gap early on: regulatory strategy and system design speak different languages. She has seen roadmaps fail because engineering teams struggled to operationalise compliance. As a certified AI Ethicist & Auditor (Oxford Saïd) trained in agentic AI (Johns Hopkins), Jennifer translates one language into the other.
She advises on AI product strategies where regulatory requirements become first-class citizens in architecture, not just a documentation footnote. Companies winning in the AI-Regulatory ecosystem don’t separate strategy from engineering.
Jess Sharkie

Jess brings over 15 years of public sector leadership and a practical grounding in AI governance to the SRS team. She holds Oxford Said certifications spanning AI, ethics, auditing and digital transformation in government, and professional designations from oxethica as a Certified AI Professional, Ethicist and Auditor. She is currently completing a Graduate Diploma in AI at La Trobe University.
Her background in government program delivery and regulatory reform means she approaches AI tool design from the perspective of the people and processes it has to serve. At SRS, she works across the business to ensure workflows are accountable, traceable and built to support human judgement. Outside SRS, Jess chairs the AI Sub Committee for LGITSA and is the founder of BrightLine AI, an independent AI governance consultancy. She brings that same sector-level governance perspective to every SRS engagement. Her focus is on making sure that when AI enters high-stakes environments, it works for the people inside them, not just the systems around them.
