AI strategy from someone who built it.
Saverio Pulizzi has shipped AI products used by over a million people, advised the Italian government on a €560M national AI strategy, and raised capital as a founder. If you need an AI strategy, hire someone who has already executed one.
Background spans
Real execution, not theory.
Three Master’s degrees, 60+ data science certifications, and work carried out across seven countries — but the credibility that matters is what shipped.

Three ways to work together.
Each engagement is scoped as a fixed-fee project, not an open-ended retainer.
AI Strategy Sprint
A focused engagement to map your AI opportunity against feasibility and ROI, and leave your team with a prioritized, build-ready roadmap.
Pilot Product Build
From idea to a working, demo-ready AI product — built by a founder who has shipped products to millions of users, not a slide deck.
Regulated-Sector AI Advisory
For banks, government bodies, and compliance-heavy organizations. Strategy grounded in real experience navigating procurement, policy, and public accountability.
Big consultancies sell frameworks.
Pulizzi sells execution.
Differentiated from Accenture Applied Intelligence, Faculty AI, and Tribe AI by a simple fact: the work was actually shipped, not just advised on.
Engagements, not retainers.
Every project is scoped and fixed-fee before work begins — no surprise invoices, no open-ended hourly billing.
- Free 30-minute scoping call
- Fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours
