ALIGN
People & CultureBuild an AI-ready organization before building AI.
Technology fails where culture resists. ALIGN is about readiness — shaping mindset, literacy, and leadership sponsorship so AI can thrive.
About Me
A Visionary in Business AI & Digital Transformation
As a pioneer in the mobile technology arena, I co-founded and successfully exited several ventures, developing applications for high-profile clients. I also built an award-winning location-based social media analytics SaaS that received the prestigious "Innovation & Development of the Year" award at the AMMAs.
I transformed a billion-dollar US Telco company into a data-driven organization by moving it to the cloud, establishing a complete Data & Analytics division, saving millions in outsourcing, and delivering live business insights. More recently, I've implemented GenAI projects within operations and customer care, reducing call volumes by 15%.

Common questions
What Senior Leaders Ask Before Hiring an AI Consultant
Quick answers to the questions that come up on most introductory calls.
What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant works with executive teams to identify where AI creates real business value, evaluates vendors and platforms objectively, and helps move pilots into production. The work is strategy-first, not implementation-first — the goal is making sure AI investments actually return the value the board was promised.
How is an AI consultant different from a data scientist?
A data scientist builds models. An AI consultant decides whether you need models at all, which problems are worth solving with AI, and what operating model your company needs to scale them. Data scientists report into engineering; AI consultants report to the C-suite.
How much does an AI consultant cost?
Engagement-based. A 4–6 week AI Strategy Diagnostic typically runs in the mid-five-figures; ongoing fractional advisory is monthly retainer. Pricing depends on scope and the size of the AI bet being evaluated. I send a clear scope before any commitment.
When should a company hire an AI consultant?
When the board is asking "what is our AI strategy" and the answer is a slide deck rather than a plan. When pilots have stalled. When vendor pitches are arriving faster than you can evaluate them. When "we need AI" is becoming a board-level pressure point but the company is not ready to scale.
Do you only work with enterprises?
Mid-market and enterprise — typically companies with budget, board pressure, and at least one failed AI initiative behind them. Not pre-revenue startups or hobbyist AI projects.
