AI does not break on the model.
It breaks on the floor, inside a real company.
AI needs watchingAgents drift. Nobody reads the output at 2am.
It says the wrong thingConfident, fluent, wrong. That is a real number gone bad.
Never actually operatedBrilliant with models. Never closed a month end.
That is where I come in
I specialise in connecting AI intelligence tailored to your company's specific operations and style, sitting right in the middle.
What gets built.
- Cash forecast that updates itself
- Month end closed in days, not weeks
- Board pack built from source data
- Margin by product, customer, channel
What gets built, department by department:
Live in eight weeks.

The operator
Who is Hayat?
A corporate Swiss Army knife, and an expert in AI agents.
Hayat is a CFO, CEO and CSO behind three high profile exits, with American Express and TripAdvisor among the buyers, and three companies that earned their place in the Financial Times 100 fastest growing.
That record was built mostly in the US and UK, growing companies from scratch to a £20 billion valuation on processes designed to stretch without breaking. His craft has always been finance, strategy, go to market, M&A, fundraising and operations, and now the AI that runs them.

Let’s get on a callTwenty minutes. No deck, no pitch.→Questions.
What is a Forward Deployed AI Engineer?
Someone technical who moves into your business and makes the AI work in your world, instead of handing you a roadmap and leaving. I do that job for finance and operations.
One person, really?
One person with AI covers what used to take a small team. You get a single accountable operator instead of a partner, a project manager and two juniors.
Do you replace my team?
No. I take the work nobody wanted off them. Same people, higher value work.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Code, agents, accounts, documentation. No lock-in by design.
How much does a fractional AI executive cost?
A fraction of one senior hire. You get C-suite judgement plus the build, one or two days a week, without the full-time salary, equity or notice period.
How fast do we see something working?
The first system is live inside eight weeks. Week one is scoping, and you see working software from the first month, not a slide deck.
Is our data safe with AI in the loop?
Everything runs inside your own accounts and your own stack. Nothing leaves your control, and every agent's output is checked before it touches a real number.
Why not just hire an agency?
An agency hands you a roadmap and leaves. I sit in the seat, run what I build, and answer for the number it moves. One accountable person, not a rotating team.
