What you get
Future-readiness, not billable hours
You don’t buy hours. You buy future-readiness.
Your workflows and business models are put to the test: where does AI make your assets more valuable, where does it make your processes more profitable? The result is not a technology recommendation but the specific point in your business model where the investment pays off, with reasoning that holds up in front of your board and your investors. Behind that judgement sits the experience of building an AI company from scratch, at a time when almost no one believed in AI.

Who it’s for
For owners who sense: “We need to change course now.”
This is work with the people at the top of established companies, not with startups in the engine room.
Established companies in transition
that want to use AI as a lever, not fear it as a threat.
Mid-sized firms facing transformation
Mid-sized companies on the edge of digital transformation that lack internal direction.
Scaleups & family offices
looking for an entrepreneurial peer, not the next slide deck.
The roots are in media and production. The principle works anywhere AI makes processes more profitable and assets more valuable.
The typical moment: you realise the world (AI, digitalisation) keeps turning, your team is trapped in the operational hamster wheel. It takes someone on equal footing who sees the new direction, explains it and sets it in motion.

How the collaboration works
You get the blueprint.
Not the night shifts.
The working model protects both: your success and the focus it takes.
-
1
The opportunity becomes visible.
The AI transformation of a workflow, a new profit centre or a compelling story for the board and investors.
-
2
Narrative and roadmap are in place.
Strategy, partner selection, the first levers, facilitated at C-level.
-
3
Execution stays in your hands.
A project lead from your own team or a recommended team takes over. What gets steered is the direction, not your day-to-day business.
The model
A monthly retainer for 4 to 8 days of presence per month, combined with a stake in the increased enterprise value or in the outcome. That puts your counterpart on board as an entrepreneur. Not a day-rate contractor, but a partner with skin in the game.
- Fractional executive
- Interim innovation
- Advisory / board
- Venture building
- Retainer with success fee
- Strategic partnership design
Background
Built, not just advised on
Three things that rarely come together in this combination:
Credibility
From cameraman to founder and CEO of an AI company. Holding a camera, leading a team, steering a company through every high and low. All done first-hand.
Translation
AI seen not from a developer’s perspective but as a lever in the business process, translated for the executive floor.
Network
The partners who handle the operational work are already on board.
Next step
Where is your biggest untapped opportunity?
If there’s an opportunity in the room but no one is giving it structure: 30 minutes of conversation will show whether the leverage is worth it.
