Your AI Initiative Is Stuck. I Fix That.
Most AI projects never make it past the demo. I help European companies ship AI that actually works—from strategy through production deployment. No juniors. No vendor bias. No deliverables that sit on a shelf.

Sound Familiar?
Your AI pilot has been "almost ready" for 18 months
The demo was impressive. Leadership was bought in. Then... nothing. You're stuck in what McKinsey calls 'pilot purgatory'—and 2026 is the year your board stops accepting 'we're still experimenting.'
You're drowning in AI vendor pitches
Everyone claims to have AI. Your inbox is full of demos. Your team has strong opinions about ChatGPT. But nobody agrees on what your AI strategy should actually be.
Your RAG system works in demos, fails in production
The proof-of-concept looked great. Then real users arrived. Hallucinations. Latency issues. Costs spiraling. The gap between 'AI demo' and 'AI production' is bigger than anyone told you.
August 2026 is coming—and you're not ready
EU AI Act high-risk requirements take effect in 7 months. Fines reach €35 million or 7% of turnover. You don't even know which of your AI systems are classified as high-risk.
70% of AI pilots never reach production. I help you be the 30% that ships.
What's Blocking Your AI?
Every AI challenge has a solution. Find yours.
The DEPLOY Method™
Most AI initiatives fail at the transition from pilot to production. The DEPLOY Method is built on 15 years of shipping AI at Cisco, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, and ABB—organizations where 'pilot' isn't a permanent state and 'production' isn't optional.
Diagnose
Before prescribing solutions, I diagnose the real problem. Most AI initiatives fail not because of technology, but because of unclear objectives, misalignment, or unrealistic expectations.
Engineer
I design solutions that work in production—not just demos. Build-vs-buy decisions, architecture that scales, security and governance from day one.
Pilot
I test fast, learn fast, iterate fast—but always with a clear path to production. Every pilot has graduation criteria. 'Permanent experiment' isn't in my vocabulary.
Launch
I ship. Real users, real data, real traffic. This is where most AI consultancies disappear. It's where I focus.
Optimize
Production is the beginning. I build systems for continuous improvement—evaluation frameworks, feedback loops, and processes to get better over time.
Yield
I measure business impact and transfer capability. The goal is to leave you stronger, not dependent. Your team learns. Your organization improves.
These common pitfalls derail 70% of AI projects. My methodology prevents them.
Pilot Purgatory
“Impressive demos that never reach production.”
I design pilots with clear graduation criteria from day one.
Demo-Quality Architecture
“Systems that break under real-world load.”
I build for production requirements from the start.
Consultant Dependency
“Can't operate without external help.”
I transfer capability. You end up stronger, not dependent.
Compliance Scramble
“Panic before enforcement deadlines.”
I build governance in from day one, not bolted on later.

Full-Stack AI: Strategy to Code
Most AI consultants either advise or build. I do both. From executive AI strategy to production RAG systems, one partner handles your entire AI journey. That's not common—and it's why clients choose to work with me.
Strategy
I've Shaped the Roadmap
- Forbes Technology Council Member
- French Government AI Ambassador
- Berkeley SkyDeck Advisor
- 30+ startups mentored on AI strategy
“I understand that AI transformation projects live or die based on business metrics. I design initiatives that tie directly to revenue and competitive advantage.”
Product
I've Owned the P&L
- Deputy GM at Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance
- €75M+ program budgets managed
- Connected services for 4M+ users across 39 countries
- World's first Google-built-in head unit
“I've sat in the executive chair, owning budgets and leading cross-functional teams. I know what stakeholder alignment and organizational change actually require.”
Code
I've Built the Systems
- Auralink: 302+ microservices, 31 AI models in 2 months
- RAG systems, fine-tuning, open source LLM deployment
- Production systems at Cisco scale (100M+ users)
- Deep expertise across the modern AI stack
“I don't just advise on technology—I build it. This engineering depth means I can evaluate technical feasibility and speak the language of your development teams.”
This 360° perspective means I can translate between technical possibilities and business realities in ways that pure technologists or pure consultants can't.
Not Your Typical AI Consultant
Senior expertise without consultancy overhead. Vendor-agnostic guidance. AI that actually ships.
Senior Expertise, Direct
You work with me—not a junior team supervised by a partner who shows up for presentations. Every hour is senior expertise: Cisco, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, ABB. Forbes Technology Council. The work doesn't get delegated.
Full Stack: Strategy to Code
Most consultants advise. I also build. I built Auralink—302+ microservices, 31 AI models—in 2 months. From AI strategy presentations to production RAG systems, one partner handles everything.
Vendor-Agnostic
No partnerships. No kickbacks. No bias. When I recommend open source over proprietary, or build over buy, it's because that's right for you—not because I have a commercial relationship.
Independence, Not Dependency
My goal is to work myself out of a job. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer, documentation, and training. You end up stronger, not reliant on external help forever.
Deep Domain Expertise
15 years building AI in sectors where production failure isn't an option.

Experience at Enterprise Scale
How Hyperion Compares
Making the right choice for your AI consulting needs
Traditional Consulting
Hyperion vs. Big 4 / McKinsey / BCG
Direct senior expertise without the junior analyst model. You work with me—not a team where the partner appears quarterly. 3-5x more cost-effective with 10x faster delivery.
When you need enterprise-wide transformation with 50+ parallel workstreams requiring large teams.
Technology Vendors
Hyperion vs. AI Vendors (Microsoft, Google, AWS)
100% vendor-agnostic recommendations. No commercial partnerships mean I recommend what's actually right for your use case—including open source when appropriate.
When you've already committed to a platform and need deep implementation expertise for that specific vendor.
Internal Build
Hyperion vs. Building In-House Team
Immediate senior expertise without 6-12 month hiring cycles. Capability transfer included so your team becomes self-sufficient. Lower risk than hiring unproven AI leadership.
When you have long-term AI needs and budget for a full-time senior AI team.
Smaller Firms
Hyperion vs. Boutique AI Consultancies
15+ years of enterprise scale (Cisco, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi) plus hands-on building capability. Most boutiques advise only—I also build. 302+ microservices. 31 AI models. Delivered.
When you need multiple dedicated resources working full-time on your project.
Cost-Optimized Delivery
Hyperion vs. Offshore Development Teams
European-based with GDPR native understanding. EU AI Act compliance expertise. Same timezone, no cultural friction, direct access to decision-maker.
When budget is the only constraint and you have strong internal technical leadership to manage offshore teams.
Hyperion Consulting is ideal for European mid-market companies and enterprises who need senior AI expertise that bridges strategy and implementation, without the overhead of traditional consulting or the bias of vendor partnerships.
