An AI Business Partner for your Business
The judgment is operational and financial, grounded in your unit economics.
Helping finance and operations leaders at €50-500M companies decide where AI creates real economic value, model what it is worth, and make it show up in the ratios you report.
The gap this practice closes
AI investment is landing on every P&L. The operational ratios it was meant to move, cost per transaction, revenue per head, cycle time, mostly sit where they were, and no single person owns the job of connecting the spend to the result.That job is specific. It sits between the technology, the operations, and the finance function, and it needs someone who can read a workflow and a P&L at the same time. Large companies are now creating the role in-house. At mid-market scale the work is just as real but rarely justifies a full-time hire.That is the role I play, on a retainer, from the outside.
