Executive Advisor & Commercial Director (Industrial AI)

For the right candidate, we offer an extremely attractive equity package, performance-based sales incentives, and a bonus plan — on top of competitive compensation. This is a chance to take a senior commercial role at the frontier of industrial AI , with meaningful ownership and upside.

BACKGROUND

For decades, industry has been promised transformation — digital twins, connected intelligence, predictive operations . Yet most of these visions stalled as overbuilt platforms or endless pilots. The industrial backbone of the world — supply chains, energy systems, heavy assets — remained under-optimized and under-digitized.

We are a boutique consultancy at the frontier of industrial AI . Our team blends leading academic researchers (Harvard, MIT, UT Austin) with industry leaders from Quantco, ABB, Siemens, Baker Hughes, and Maersk . Together, we’re finally delivering on those old promises with today’s breakthroughs: physics-informed ML, reinforcement learning, graph AI, and explainable, workflow-driven systems.

We attract world-class builders and advisors to design AI-native solutions that re-industrialize the planet — enabling predictive, autonomous, and resilient operations at scale.

We’re now seeking a Senior Director of Sales, Engagement & Advisory — ideally based in UAE or Saudi Arabia — to scale this mission: opening boardroom doors, shaping industry-defining partnerships, and advising executives on how to translate frontier AI into enterprise transformation.

ROLE

You will own the growth and advisory engine for our Industrial AI practice:

• Lead executive-level and advisory engagements with Fortune 1000s in supply chain, energy, logistics, and manufacturing .
• Position us as the partner that finally delivers on digital twin, predictive maintenance, and connected ops promises — not with theory, but with deployed systems.
• Shape opportunities around frontier AI architectures (multi-agent RL, Graph Neural Networks, Physics-Informed ML, Generative AI).
• Expand client base via direct enterprise relationships, alliances, and multi-year transformation programs .
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure clear, measurable ROI from pilot to full-scale rollout.
