AI consulting
AI consulting from a CEO, for the CEOs of SMEs and mid-market companies
I have made AI my right hand as a CEO. I help you do the same, one function at a time, so that you keep the part that matters, the decisions.
What I offer already runs in my own company. I founded Oliverlist in 2016 without outside funding, and more than 100 people are managed there every day. Since July 2026, agents I built myself have become my right hand as a CEO. Through VivaSync, I do the same in your company, or show you how.
Who it is for
CEOs and leadership teams of SMEs and mid-market companies, from 20 to 500 employees and beyond: CEO, CFO, sales director, COO. Your sector matters less than your situation. This is for you if:
- your monthly figures arrive weeks after month-end;
- your teams re-key the same data from one tool to another;
- decisions made in meetings get lost;
- everything goes through you, and everything waits for you whenever you travel.
The problem
AI has entered boardroom conversations faster than it has entered operations. A few employees use it on their own, and the CEO's day stays the same: chasing, checking, re-keying, arbitrating. What is missing is rarely the tool. It is everything around it: connected data, agents with written instructions, controls, and a clear rule on what goes out on its own.
What I set up in your company
I take one function and make it run with AI, following the 5-layer method:
- I connect your data at the source: banks, CRM, email, calendars, business tools.
- I write the agents that handle repetitive work, on a schedule.
- I set up nightly controls that only escalate anomalies.
- I agree with you on what goes out on its own and what waits for your approval.
VivaSync runs it all, then your teams take over. In my own case, that means a 60-day cash forecast updated every week, emails sorted about 30 seconds after they arrive, meetings run by an AI agent, and overdue-invoice reminders drafted once a payment is 7 days late. See everything that runs.
The 3-month engagement
This is the core offer: one key function, whether finance, steering or sales, rebuilt around AI, from audit to production.
- Audit, 2 weeks. I map your week and the weeks of the teams involved, size what can run without you and deliver a prioritized plan.
- Set-up, 2 to 6 weeks. Connected data, agents and controls, tested on your real workflows.
- Steering, until the end of month three. The tools run, you decide, and we spend one hour a week fixing and extending.
- Handover. Your teams take over, with full documentation and every account in your name.
AI accounts and subscriptions are in your name, you control access, and nothing is resold.
Other formats
- Audit: 2 weeks to find out what can run without you, with a prioritized plan. Deducted from the engagement if you sign within the month.
- Sprint: a first tool in production in 14 days, on a task chosen together and a real workflow.
- Fractional AI director: a few days a month for steering, new automations and an AI committee with your leadership team.
- Keynotes and leadership sessions: a concrete field report, including what works and what does not.
The proof
I have no client case to show you yet. My proof is internal, and measured.
- Oliverlist. Automated from contact import to invoice since 2020. 24 AI agents in the product; 60% of meetings that follow a reply are booked by the agent. AI costs about 1% of revenue. Tens of millions of euros in potential revenue generated for its clients (meetings × signing rate × average contract value).
- My CEO role. 84 agents and 13 applications built single-handedly in 4 months. 200 to 230 runs per business day, 99.4% successful. Financial tracking connected to 3 banks, built in a single day.
A guaranteed, measured return
Every engagement starts with a quantified gain target, agreed at the end of the audit and written into the proposal: hours given back to leadership and teams, costs avoided, extra revenue. It is measured before and after on your own data, and tracked on a dashboard you keep. If it is not met by the agreed date, I keep working at no charge until it is.
FAQ
How much does an engagement cost?
It is quoted, with a price fixed before we start. Your AI subscriptions come on top, in your name and paid by you.
Is my company big enough?
The offer is designed for companies from 20 employees, SMEs and mid-market firms alike. Beyond 500 employees, the method stays the same: we start with one function, then extend.
Do I need to hire a technical profile?
No. You need one point of contact who knows the function, access that you control, and one hour a week of your time. I build, VivaSync runs the tools.
What happens after the 3 months?
Everything stays with you: tools, accounts, data and documentation, and your teams take over. To keep extending, I can stay on as your fractional AI director.
Do you guarantee a figure?
No. I do not promise a gain before measuring it in your company. Scope, deliverables and price are fixed before we start; after that, we measure every week what runs and what it changes.
30 minutes to see what can run without you
No commitment. You walk me through your week, I tell you what AI can take on, with a first estimate of the gain.
