Building AI for consulting firms | Ex-Bain

About

I work with management consulting firms in two ways: ✅ Our proprietary SaaS platform - a first-of-its-kind tool that helps top consulting firms pitch more and execute leaner using AI. ✅ AI upskilling and implementation - advanced prompting, Skills, advanced ChatGPT and Claude use, identifying which AI use cases actually deliver ROI, and rolling them out for teams. Before this, 11 years across Bain and Company as a strategy consultant and ByteDance as Revenue Strategy Head for the Middle East and Africa. In November 2023, I left my job, taught myself Python and Generative AI, and spent 2024 and 2025 building enterprise-grade AI applications from scratch. 6,000+ hours in, I've shipped apps that worked and ones that failed. RecurGrow, my AI sales research product, was one of the failures. That experience taught me deeply about what AI can reliably automate, and where it wastes money. If you are a Partner or an AI Head at a consulting firm who wants to use AI for real competitive advantage, DM me.

  • Founder at RecurGrow
    Sep 2024 - Aug 2025 · 1 yr

    Built an AI-powered B2B sales research tool. Failed at it. But I learned more building this product in a year than in the previous several years of working in jobs combined - from going deep into LLMs, prompt engineering, and RAG systems, to facing the hard truths of carving out a niche in a crowded market. These lessons now power everything I build and teach.
