Why work with us
AI lunatics
We live and breathe AI every single day; we try every new tool and technology. That obsession means we translate the latest AI developments into real business impact for your organization.
Delivering excited people, not reports
We don't hand over a strategy deck and walk away. As a matter of fact, we try to find better ways than ordinary decks, like real-time dashboards, for example. We work alongside your teams until they're genuinely excited and confident to use AI in their daily work.
Extreme customization
Since AI is so new for many, and the opportunities can be hard to imagine, we put a lot of effort into customizing our work, so that people clearly see how it benefits their own role and their organization, not a generic 'one size fits all' approach. This is how organizations unlock true competitive value with AI.
What our clients say
Trusted by leaders across the world
“Greg and the team did a brilliant job both inspiring our leadership team about the transformative potential of AI and showing us how to move forward with practical, high-impact steps. The biggest shift was realising that this isn't just about tools or software — it's about people, behaviours, and how we work.”
Chirag Patel
CEO, Pentland Brands
“With a team of 8+ AI experts, Wouter and the team helped us craft our AI strategy and then led hands-on execution across critical areas. From boosting our Paid Media conversion rate, generating insights from 60k+ reviews that saved us hundreds of hours, to supporting improved customer service processing time, their impact has been nothing short of transformative.”
Kelley Bennett
Chief Commercial Officer, The Step2 Company
“Greg and Wouter inspired our portfolio's leadership team with a clear, practical vision of AI's potential. Their session, attended by over 45 CEOs and chairs, provided hands-on demos that were directly relevant to our companies.”
Jo Thomson
Active Partnership Practice Director, 3i Group Plc
“While understanding the constraints of a large corporation, Wouter is able to combine deep strategic business acumen with a very hands-on mindset to help accelerate growth and efficiency.”
Pierre Tannoux
VP of Marketing, CX Digital Transformation, Henkel Adhesives
