Digital entrepreneur.Founder of Rayer Group.
I build AI-native digital businesses. From EY to my Innovation Lab, Rayer Group: several spin-offs in the portfolio, such as RATIO Advisory, an AI agent system for consulting that works for me 24/7.
From consultant to entrepreneur.
Experience at EY as a Senior Consultant, working on public funding and innovation. I saw from the inside how large organisations decide, execute and fail. Above all, where they break. I built automation tools nobody asked me for, but that kept the team’s operations running.
Then the system that broke was me. Burnout, a sabbatical year, a complete reset. I left without a plan B.
I applied the same pattern to myself: see how it works, see where it breaks, build something better. That is how Rayer Group was born — an AI-native Innovation Lab where I turn market problems into working AI systems.
Each system becomes a standalone product with its own brand and business model. Like RATIO Advisory: a public-funding consultancy that runs on AI agents. It handles a workload that would take a team of 20. With a single person orchestrating it.
Rayer Group — the Innovation Lab
Rayer Group exists for one reason: I see fragile systems and gaps in the market, and I build AI-native products that fix them. Each system becomes a standalone product with its own brand and business model. The goal is not to scale horizontally — it is to create resilient, scalable, intelligent systems.
RATIO Advisory
Public-funding consulting, rebuilt from scratch. Automated grant scouting, client-to-grant matching in seconds, financial statement analysis with 8 AI agents.
“I built RATIO Advisory because I saw SMEs lose funding not for lack of eligibility, but for lack of method and speed. AI solves exactly that.”
I see how the system works. I see where it breaks. I build something better.
The model is an AI-native one-man company: one human at the centre, 100+ AI agents doing the work, an ecosystem of tools talking to each other via API. No team, no meetings, no overhead. Just output.
With AI I build whatused to take an entire team.
founder at the centre
AI agents in production, 24/7
the workload of a team of 20, orchestrated by one.
And I give people the tools to do the same.
I show how it’s done.
Keynotes, articles, 1:1 advisory for founders and boards who want to build AI-native companies before the market does it for them. I won’t tell you that “AI will change everything, in theory” — I show you how to use it in practice.
New products on the way.
I will announce each new product when it is ready, one at a time. There is no public roadmap: each system launches when it passes the market test, not before.
The questions I get asked most.
