Samson leads Exec x AI across Africa. You bring him in when an AI programme has to deliver a measured saving in a market where budgets are tight and infrastructure is uneven. At his last role he cut operating costs by about 30 per cent in three months through real-time monitoring and direct sourcing. He brings that same discipline to AI.
In 30 days you get a board-ready AI charter at a fixed price, with the gain sized before you commit. He has spent more than twenty years in African telecoms and technology, most of it at Vodacom Business, with a consulting director role at IDC. He sits on a board guiding annual technology budgets above 50 million rand.
He recently launched a new enterprise clinical-trial device in four months and built an AI operations platform to run it. He is completing a doctorate in generative AI and digital business. An in-house team can run operations. The scarcer skill is sizing an AI saving that survives uneven infrastructure and proving it inside 18 weeks.
Samson leads AI readiness and operations-optimisation engagements across the continent. He owns the business case and the saving himself. Named delivery principals execute under him, with no junior staff billed to your account. A systems integrator builds what you specify; Samson owns the saving and tells you to stop if it will not clear the spend.
You pay for principals only, which is why the fee sits below a Big 4 charter for a fixed scope. The fixed price and a stop-before-you-spend test keep the firm's young trading history at our risk, not yours. Where the infrastructure will not support production, he will tell you before you commit the budget.
