01 · THE SHORT VERSION
FOR CEOs, CFOs, GENERAL COUNSEL & PE OPERATING PARTNERS
When a major IT or ERP programme stalls, supplier costs balloon, or leadership wants to apply GenAI without wasting budget or failing EU rules, hiring a large consulting team often creates more slide decks instead of answers. With 25+ years running real global operations ($350M+ restructures, 500+ FTE vendor teams, and global port data at APM Terminals / Maersk) plus hands-on AI software building, I deliver fast, independent clarity in days—not months.

02 · FOUR WAYS I HELP
FIXED-SCOPE, OUTCOME-DRIVEN ENGAGEMENTS
| What You're Facing | What I Do | What You Walk Away With |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Stalled ERP, Data or IT Project Independent 14-Day Audit · Technical Witness | Review architecture, contracts, and delivery reality objectively without vendor bias. | A plain-English board or counsel report pinpointing root causes, accountability, and fix steps. |
| 2. Rising Vendor & Offshore Costs Supplier & GCC Cost-Out | Audit multi-vendor SOWs, SLAs, and EU–India team handoffs. | Concrete renegotiation levers, seat and staffing efficiencies, and a realistic savings roadmap. |
| 3. GenAI Confusion & EU Rules Practical AI & Compliance Readiness | Separate real high-ROI AI use cases from hype and check EU AI Act / Battery Passport readiness. | A prioritized AI implementation plan with simple, audit-ready data guardrails. |
| 4. Executive Decision Tools Custom AI Briefings & Workshops | Adapt working interactive tools (Chartr, AI R.I.T., DataRadar) or lead a 1-day leadership session. | Hands-on tools your team can actually use—zero lock-in, zero PowerPoint fluff. |
