For non-executive directors, portfolio leaders & multi-client advisers

AI you can put in front of a board.

You hold more than one mandate and you have no assistant. We build you a governed AI operating system — part personal assistant, part guardrail — that respects every boundary, sounds like you, and we run it for you.

The problem

Several mandates. Real exposure. No support.

You sit on three boards and advise two more. No one manages your diary. No one drafts your replies. And the AI everyone tells you to use carries a liability that lands on you personally — one mandate's confidential data in a public tool, one prompt that crosses a wall it never should.

So you get the worst of both: the admin load of an executive with none of the executive support, and a powerful tool you can't safely turn on. We fix both at once.

What we build

A governed AI operating system, built for how you actually work

Not a tool with your best wishes attached. An operating system: your AI, configured to your mandates, with the rules, boundaries and audit trail designed in from the first line — and the everyday assistance a non-exec never gets. Then we manage it, support it, and check it stays sound.

Build

Configured to your roles, your data, your voice.

Govern

Boundaries, controls and audit designed in, not bolted on.

Run

Managed, diagnosed and supported — so it stays safe over time.

The assistant you don't have

The executive assistant a non-exec never gets

Executives have an EA. Non-execs, advisers and portfolio leaders rarely do — yet the inbox, the diary, the drafting and the endless files are just as relentless. Your operating system fills that gap. It reads, sorts and prioritises your inbox. It manages your diary and prepares you for what's next. It drafts your emails in your own voice. And it keeps your computer in order — filing every document where it belongs, so nothing is lost and the system can actually use what you have. It never sends, never commits — it hands you the finished work and you decide.

  • Filing & tidy-up — your documents read, named and filed in the right place automatically, so your computer stays in order and the system can find anything in seconds.
  • Diary management — meetings triaged, conflicts flagged, prep ready before you walk in.
  • Email drafting — replies written in your voice, waiting in drafts for your sign-off.
  • Inbox triage — the urgent surfaced, the noise filed, nothing missed.
  • Daily brief — what matters today, in one place, every morning.
Many rooms. One you.

Different boards. Different buildings. The same person in command.

You move between offices, sectors and mandates in a single week. Your AI should move with you — and keep every one of them sealed off from the rest.

Governance first

Governance is the product, not the disclaimer

For a director, "humans decide" is not a slogan — it is the standard you are held to. Every system we build keeps you in the chair. AI drafts, proposes and summarises. It never sends, never commits, never acts on your behalf without your explicit say-so.

Sandboxing

One mandate — or one client — never touches another

The part most AI cannot do and most advisers ignore. Every role and every client is sandboxed — sealed off from the rest. Board A's papers never inform a draft for Board B. Client A's data never bleeds into work for Client B. The data, the context and the memory are isolated by design, not by your discipline. You stop being the firewall.

You ask for a summary while working on Client A. The system can only see Client A. It does not know Client B exists in that moment, and it cannot reach across. If contexts ever risk mixing, it stops and flags it — to you. For a consultant handling confidential customer data across engagements, that boundary is the whole game.
The craft

It sounds like you — and you learn to drive it

A generic AI sounds generic, and a board reader spots it instantly. We tune the system to your tone of voice, so a drafted email reads as yours, not as a machine's. And we don't leave you dependent on us: we teach you structured prompting frameworks that are genuinely usable — simple, repeatable patterns you can apply yourself.

Your voice, captured

The system learns how you write and holds the line under pressure — long replies, sceptical recipients, formal proposals.

Prompting you can actually use

Plain, repeatable frameworks for getting good output every time — so you're never staring at a blank box.

One-to-one

Taught personally. Never a webinar.

This is not a course, a cohort or a recorded module. It is one-to-one time, with you, building your assistant together until you can run it yourself. We sit down, set it up around your mandates, and train you on the controls — at your pace, on your material, in confidence. You leave able to use it, not just impressed by it.

Run & supported

Built once, looked after for good

An operating system is only as good as its upkeep. We don't disappear after install. We run diagnostics, keep the guardrails current as the tools change, and support you directly when something needs a human. You get the capability without becoming the IT department.

Build

The operating system, configured to you.

Manage

Kept current as models and rules change.

Diagnose

Regular health checks on the guardrails.

Support

A direct line when you need one.

For those who want to go further, your system can grow into a private, governed knowledge base — your own second brain, fully under your control. We'll show you when you're ready.

Who it's for

Built for a specific kind of leader

If you hold one role and want a chatbot, we are not for you. If you carry several mandates or several clients, have no support team, and need every one sealed off and governed, we are exactly for you.

How it works

Three steps to a governed system

A private call

A confidential conversation about your mandates, your risk, your way of working. Talk for 30 minutes.

Build & train

We design your sandboxed system and train you on it, one-to-one. You build it with us.

Run & support

We manage, diagnose and support it as it runs. You use it — and stay in the chair.

Book a private call

Discreet by default

We work by referral

Our clients are not case studies on a website — they are senior people who value discretion as much as you do. References are private, given one-to-one, never published. The same confidentiality we extend to them, we extend to you from the first conversation.

Referral-led — never advertised References shared privately, on request Principle-led: humans decide, always
Start here

Start with a private conversation

No pitch deck, no obligation. A confidential call to understand your mandates and show you what a governed system — and a real assistant — looks like. If it fits, we build it. If it doesn't, you've lost half an hour and gained a clearer view of your own AI exposure.

If someone referred you, name them — referred enquiries are offered a preferential founding rate.
