What we work on

The whole move, not one document.

  • Choose the AI role and market that fit your experience
  • Rebuild your CV and LinkedIn around evidence, not buzzwords
  • Shape a portfolio that gives interviewers something real to discuss
  • Practise technical, product and leadership interviews
  • Plan applications, referrals, negotiation and the move into the role

Your coaches

Practitioners with range — and a bench behind them.

Start with Manu or Aki. When the work needs a specialist, we can bring in the right practitioner from our wider bench of AI founders, PhDs, machine-learning engineers, researchers and GTM leaders.
