AI Advisor for Business Leaders · Strategy & Implementation

20 years building tech that scales. Now helping companies make AI work for real.

Your organization adopted AI fast — a tool here, an automation there, agents connected to different systems. Now you have dozens of experiments but no cohesive system. I help turn that into something that delivers measurable results.

Taking on a small number of engagements each quarter. Get in touch

About

Your AI tools work. Your AI system doesn't.

Your organization adopted AI fast. Copilot here, an automation there, agents connected to different data sources. Now you have dozens of tools, no shared data layer, no governance, and no way to tell what's working. The experiments multiplied — but the results didn't.

I help companies build an AI operating system — a governed foundation where all your agents and automations operate safely on trustworthy company data, instead of scattered silos producing scattered results.

From CTO to AI Advisor

I was the first CTO at Jobandtalent. I built the engineering team, the architecture and the data infrastructure the company scaled on. It later raised from SoftBank, Kinnevik and BlackRock at a $2.3 billion valuation.

Then I co-founded Jobartis, a job platform used by more than 2 million people across sub-Saharan Africa.

Today I advise companies on AI. Twenty years of building data systems that had to work at scale, and the judgement to say which AI projects pay off and which quietly stall.

How I Can Help

Structured programs to navigate your AI shift.

For leadership

1-Day Workshop

AI Strategy for Leadership

The pain: Your company is investing in AI but there's no shared vision of where it's going. Initiatives overlap, tools multiply, and leadership can't tell what's delivering value and what's just noise.

A focused session with your C-suite, founders, and VPs to cut through the noise — assess where you actually stand, identify the highest-impact opportunities, and leave with a concrete plan your team can execute on Monday.

  • AI readiness assessment tied to your business goals
  • Prioritized opportunity map with expected ROI
  • Leadership alignment on AI vision and governance
  • 90-day action plan with clear ownership

For engineering teams

1-Day Workshop

AI-First Software Development

The pain: Your developers use AI individually — each with their own prompts, their own tools, their own way of working. Nothing is shared. There's no common framework, no repeatable workflow. Knowledge lives on individual machines, not in the team.

A hands-on workshop for engineering teams and engineering managers. We move from scattered individual AI usage to a structured, shared methodology — because AI tools are only as good as the workflow around them.

Building software is communication — and AI is now part of the conversation.

What your team will learn

  • System Thinking — The best developers of tomorrow are system thinkers. AI handles the syntax.
  • Orchestration — We've moved from writing software to orchestrating it.
  • Process, not tools — AI isn't replacing developers. It's replacing the development methodology.
  • Early adoption advantage — Be among the first teams to master this paradigm.

The Impact

  • Skills: Mastery of the spec-to-code workflow
  • Predictability: Structured, repeatable processes across the team
  • Scalability: A methodology that works across multiple domains and projects
  • Measurable ROI: Clear before-and-after metrics for engineering output
