Pi School

As an AI Innovation Partner, I act as the strategic bridge between forward-thinking organizations and Pi School’s world-class AI engineering and research team.

My role focuses on helping companies explore, define, and execute impactful AI innovation by:
	•	Advising organizations on how to identify and scope real-world challenges that can be solved through AI
	•	Guiding partners through our 8-week innovation programme — from ideation to fully functional AI prototypes
	•	Aligning internal stakeholders across product, engineering, and delivery to ensure business and technical goals are met
	•	Ensuring outcomes, not outputs — our AI solutions are built for business impact, not just code
	•	Managing strategic relationships with clients ranging from startups to global enterprises (Amazon, Meta, ESA, etc.)
	•	Shaping repeatable frameworks for rapid AI exploration, validation, and integration
	•	Supporting growth through referrals and long-term collaboration, not transactional deals

We don’t sell software. We co-design and deliver custom AI prototypes — fast, fixed-price, and with academic-grade quality — so companies can unlock innovation without the overhead or risk.

Consumer services representative

Tech Sales Professional | Sales Strategist | Ex-Gartner & Former Entrepreneur

After 10+ years in tech sales — including Gartner, top software companies, and several startups (some of which I founded) — I saw how hard it is for companies to innovate through technology. Too often, they spend huge time and budget chasing ideas that don’t work, especially in AI.

That’s why I joined Pi School - We Build Custom AI Prototypes in 8 Weeks 

We’re not a software development agency. We’re a team of academics, engineers, and AI researchers trained at Cambridge, École Centrale, and top institutions.

We’ve delivered 100+ AI prototypes for companies like Cisco, Enel, European Space Agency — and won multi-million euro EU tenders to solve major public and private sector challenges through AI.

We Offer:
-A working, custom AI prototype — delivered in just 8 weeks
-No legacy code. No scope creep. No “hourly billing” traps
-Fixed price, fast delivery, and zero need for an internal tech team
-Backed by top-tier experts, not outsourced freelancers
-Built for business outcomes — not code for code’s sake

We combine research-grade AI with real-world execution — helping you:
-Unlock AI-powered innovation
-Improve efficiency, decisions & operations
-Get buy-in from leadership with tangible results
-Future-proof your career and business without the risk

Only 6 slots per cohort — 3 cohorts/year.

If you’re leading innovation or transformation, DM me to share your AI idea to see if you qualify.
