Who we are

Andreas Galatoulas

We have built these functions, run them, and judged other people's.
Here is the record, with links.

  • Built AI functions from nothing. AECOM's AI practice, from a standing start to award-winning delivery. Twice.
  • Run them at scale. Data science at AXA, technology and innovation at Pearson and Macmillan, data and AI at an international climate institution working with ministries and development banks.
  • Judged other people's. Responsible AI mentor for Innovate UK's BridgeAI programme, expert member of an ITU working group, awards judge. The independent read is not a new product for us.

    Proof

    If you check nothing else

    An award for AI running in production for a national regulator. A feature in The Times. Peer-reviewed papers. A UN climate forum and a G7-programme panel. Every one verifiable in under a minute — which is the point.

    From the platform

    What I say when I am in the room

    Four arguments, made repeatedly, to boards, ministries and engineers. They are the reason the practice exists.

    01

    Have you been mis-sold AI?

    Amsterdam, 2024. The question nobody asks the vendor. Most organisations bought a capability and received a licence.

    02

    Fix the back end before you do AI

    The unglamorous argument. Connect the data first; most failures are two layers below the model and nobody is looking there.

    03

    Getting people to back an AI project

    Main stage, Belfast. The internal politics are the real constraint, not the technology. Make the trade-offs legible and the decision follows.

    04

    AI for climate, in countries that cannot afford to get it wrong

    Yeosu and Biarritz, 2026. Early warning in Ecuador. What frugality looks like when the budget is genuinely finite.
