Enterprise AI · United Kingdom
Enterprise AI consultant for UK firms stuck between pilot and production.
Most UK enterprises have a working model and no working system. I close that gap: Freshfields went from 40% to 80% GenAI adoption across 2,500 lawyers in six weeks. Twenty years delivering for Shell, Freshfields and JP Morgan. Production in 60 to 90 days.
Confidential. No pitch. Two new engagements per quarter.
The work
What an enterprise AI consultant actually does.
The job is not advice. It is delivery under enterprise constraints: legal sign-off, security review, data residency, procurement, and systems that were old before AI was interesting.
I scope the wedge, design the agentic system, run evaluation on your real workload, and stay until it is live and owned by your team. If a pilot exists, I use it. If it stalled, I find out why before writing a line of code.
The deliverable is a system in production with an owner, a budget line and an audit trail. Not a deck.

Base of operations
Why UK enterprises hire from Amsterdam.
UK data protection law and EU rules are close cousins, and most UK enterprises operate under both. I am based in Amsterdam and work across the UK; same timezone give or take an hour, no visa friction, GDPR and the EU AI Act treated as design inputs rather than blockers.
Contracts run through TwentyThree Projects B.V. and pass UK procurement without ceremony.

FAQ
Answers before you book.
What does an enterprise AI consultant cost in the UK?
My engagements are fixed or anchored: a 10-day opportunity sprint is €15,000, a 5-day delivery reset is €12,000, agentic builds start at €60,000, and fractional Chief AI Officer retainers start at €9,500 a month. You know the number before we start.
How fast can AI agents reach production in a UK enterprise?
Sixty to ninety days is the working range for a first production agent, including evaluation, security review and handover. Freshfields reached 80% GenAI adoption across 2,500 lawyers in six weeks of focused delivery.
Do you work onsite in the UK?
Yes. Amsterdam is an hour ahead of London and I am in the UK regularly. Workshops, board sessions and delivery reviews happen in your building when that moves things faster.
What happens on the triage call?
Thirty minutes on your situation: what is stalled, what it costs and what I would do about it. You leave with a straight answer either way. No pitch.
Which industries do you cover?
Legal, energy, financial services, telecoms and industrial. The named record: Shell, Freshfields, JP Morgan, T-Mobile, Schroders and BHP.
The triage call is thirty minutes and costs nothing.
