Elke leads Exec x AI's growth across Africa. She is the firm's commercial principal for the continent. You are not buying a model-builder. You are buying the part of an AI programme that sinks most African rollouts: the wrong local partner and a route to market the regulator rejects.
Her credential for that is more than twenty years building and governing partner networks across the continent, most of it at IBM. In 30 days you get three signed artefacts: the AI charter, the partner-and-compliance plan and a working proof of concept on your own cloud, with the first measured return inside 18 weeks.
That partner knowledge is the difference between a pilot and a business. At IBM she grew the Central Africa partner business over nearly six years, a result her IBM references can confirm. She was inducted into the company's 100 per cent club for overachieving on targets.
Named engineering principals build the model; her work is the partners, the compliance and the commercial model that make an African rollout pay. An internal team can choose a vendor. Choosing wrong costs a year, which is the risk she removes. Elke leads market-entry and revenue-growth engagements across Africa.
She owns the go-to-market plan and the partner selection herself, with no junior staff billed to your account. You pay for principals only, which is why the fee sits below a Big 4 charter for a fixed scope.
She sizes each use case so the projected saving beats the spend on a cost line your finance team already reports, and in a thin-budget market she will not start until it clears by a wide margin. Delivery runs in your own cloud, on your own intellectual property, with the audit trail attached.
The fixed price and a stop-before-you-spend test keep the firm's young trading history at our risk, not yours. Where a market is not ready, she will tell you before you commit the budget.
