About

Practitioner-led. Proven inside. Deployed outside.

ABCERTA was founded on a simple observation: almost no AI consultancy can answer the question every board is asking — where's the return? We built the firm around answering it.

The founder

28 years on the inside.

Our founder has spent 28 years inside healthcare commercial operations — as a rep, an area manager, a BI director, a managing director and a group technology director. That career includes leading business intelligence and commercial operations at Europe's largest pharmaceutical company, growing a specialist NHS insights business from £1m to £3.5m as BI Director and then MD, and driving a Top-20 pharma product relaunch from £480k to £300m in annual sales — number one in its therapeutic area against Pfizer, BMS, Boehringer Ingelheim and Bayer.

Most recently, he spent 18 months leading AI strategy and implementation across more than 50 operating businesses inside a leading European healthcare group — designing and running the governance, data foundation, agent rollout and literacy programme that produced a 300% quarter-on-quarter increase in measured AI adoption, with commercial benefit attached to it.

ABCERTA exists to deploy that operating experience outside: the same model, the same governance instruments, the same training — for organisations that need AI to pay back and can't afford to get it wrong. AI is the current lever; the discipline underneath it — data, analytics, CRM, change, commercial operations — is three decades deep.

ABCERTA is deliberately founder-led. When you work with us, you work with the person who has actually run this — backed by a dedicated technical implementation partner and a training and literacy lead. One accountable team, one outcome.

How we think

Three things make us different

We've done it. AI implementation across 50+ operating businesses, with a 300% quarter-on-quarter adoption uplift and commercial benefit measured, not asserted.

We've done it for 28 years. AI is the current lever — but the discipline underneath (data, analytics, CRM, commercial operations, change) is built on three decades of healthcare commercial leadership and two prior consultancy builds.

We deliver, we don't just advise. Consulting sets the strategy; Solutions builds it; the Foundry licenses the instruments; the Academy trains the people. We follow our advice all the way to outcome.

What we believe

Business-led, not tech-ledEvery use case has a numberPractitioner firstOutcome, not outputPlain EnglishHonest paceBuilt to transfer

If we can't agree what "paid back" looks like, we don't start. And if six months after we leave you aren't more capable, more measurable and more commercially confident with AI than when we arrived, we've failed.
