Advice from operators who build in the space, not watch it.
Independence only counts for something if it’s backed by real experience. Ours comes from inside the companies building AI and the rooms where real capital gets committed to it.
Roles across fintech, banking, global platforms, Web3 and AI infrastructure. The same judgement, now working for you.
Inside the industry
Our day job is in AI infrastructure at io.net, where these systems get built, run and paid for at scale. So we know what a model actually costs to run, where the real bottlenecks are, and which vendor promises quietly fall over in production. You get advice grounded in how it works, not how it demos.
Real money on the line
Through ISG / Shaw & Partners we advise a New Zealand investment group on where to put real capital into AI. When your own call moves real money, you learn fast to tell a genuine opportunity from a good story. That same test is what we bring to your decisions.
Built to be adopted
Before AI, a career across Circle, Expedia, NatWest and NEAR Foundation, on the side of tech that has to actually get used. So we don’t just ask whether something can be built. We ask whether your team will still be using it in six months, and plan for that from day one.
We’ve done this before, in bigger markets.
Most AI advice in New Zealand comes from people who have only ever worked in New Zealand. Ours comes from building and backing AI at global scale, where a lot of what is about to hit New Zealand has already played out. We have watched which bets pay off and which quietly die. You get that head start, and the judgement that comes with it, without paying for the expensive mistakes first.
