In another LinkedIn post, Mr. Howden expounded on his decision to return to "building", paying tribute to Tim Warren and expressing excitement about the goal of the company to democratise AI. "After being on the Board at Ambit for the last 2 years, this week I officially catch the CEO baton from Tim Warren, who is moving onto pastures new and has been seeking a builder to take the business to the next level," he states.

Being impressed with the team, tech, and the opportunities AI presents during his time at Ambit, Howden noticed that there's more in stored in the democratization of AI which could benefit people and reduce workload. He segues, "Feeling like a fun few years ahead!". His commitment remains, especially with Integration Fox, liaising the whole world's data, and now has accepted a challenge at Ambit AI where its mission is making AI accessible for all.

The newly-appointed CEO is recognised as a proficient executive with a background in computer science and telecommunications. He combines a passion for innovation with a keen understanding of Private Equity and has made a name for himself as an authoritative voice in his field, renowned for communicating complex ideas in an understandable format. He also maintains a dedication to utilising technology for a sustainable future and continues to invest and give direction in emerging tech while lending his expertise to aid industry growth.
