AI Strategy & Transformation · Bank-grade governance
AI adoption is only 30% technology. The other 70% — change, process, governance, adoption — is where you win or stall. That's where I work.
I work inside your teams, not from the outside with slides — strategy through working software, delivered fast, with the capability left in-house.

The 70/30 thesis
The frameworks, agents, and automations are the part that works. The 70% is turning them into compounding ROI at scale — on a long-term roadmap that wins your market. That's where I live.
The sprint mentality
The marathon mindset
The organizations that win build the right foundation — they don't just run first.
I work alongside your people and build with them, so the capability and the adoption stay after I leave.
I lead the design and build alongside engineering teams, delivering the frameworks, agents, and automations that run on enterprise platforms.
Every engagement is anchored to a long-term business case and measurable return — not the latest model or hype cycle.
I use agentic AI to execute fast, and the tools we build can stay with your company.
Why me
The standard of a top-tier consultancy or a tier-one bank — delivered hands-on by one senior operator, not a pyramid of juniors billing by the hour.
The strategy, governance, and delivery rigor I ran inside a top-tier global bank and global consultancies — applied directly to your program.
Engagements are fixed-fee and anchored to a business case and measurable ROI — you pay for outcomes, not timesheets.
Senior, partner-level delivery at a fraction of a Big-Four or bank-consulting engagement — no overhead, no markup, no learning on your dime.
Building with AI agents daily is why one senior operator ships in weeks — every agent registered, human-gated, staged, and reversible. And when a build needs deep engineering, I partner with the best vetted developers — directed by me, accountable to you.
Know → Prove → Scale → Transform → Run. Each step answers one question and leaves you owning the artifacts — no step ever charges you for facts a cheaper one already gave you.

Proprietary platform
Bermee™ keeps your AI program on the right path — every build gated and measured, everything governed, and the whole portfolio assessed against where your market is moving.
Built for my clients from years of running AI adoption and transformation at a top-tier global bank — it ships with every engagement, one of the key catalysts that turns strategy into results your board can see.

Every industry is on the same mountain right now. AI is the fastest route up anyone has seen — and most expeditions still stall. Not because the technology fails, but because the footing does: no one can say which idea is next, what it truly costs, or whether the promised return ever landed.
Bermee exists for the ones who intend to summit. One place where the whole program lives — ideas priced honestly, builds gated and measured, every promised dollar tracked to the day it lands. The pace of a pioneer, with the receipts to prove it.
The philosophy comes from the great farm dogs of the Alps: never only a guardian — the same dog that watched the farm also pulled the cart. The platform that keeps your registry audit-ready is the one hauling your use cases from idea to realized value. You win the mountain; the watch takes care of itself.

I'm Piotr Klek, an AI strategy and transformation consultant who helps organizations win in their markets with AI — not just deploy it.
I led the creation and adoption of AI strategy across a 2,500+ person risk management organization within the COO function of a top-tier global bank — aligning a fit-for-purpose operating model to ROI, with a focus on speed and results. My program of operating-model redesign and AI implementation delivered $9M in run-rate savings. I'm technology-agnostic by design: I back whatever is fit for purpose to deliver the best return, not AI for its own sake. I've also worked with teams across 80+ countries on regulatory projects, and bring 10+ years in process automation, SDLC, and enterprise platform deployment — 300+ use cases delivered.
I partnered across every risk stripe a regulated institution demands — model risk, financial crime, information security, and AI/ML review — to govern AI responsibly, and I'm a PROSCI-certified change practitioner. That combination is the point: I make AI work where the stakes, scrutiny, and scale are real.
My thesis: AI is only 30% technology — the other 70% (adoption, process, governance) is where programs win or stall. Now I do that work independently, for organizations that want AI that's governed, adopted, and tied to results. Based in Tampa, FL.
The 70% they're usually not resourced for — change management, process redesign, governance, and adoption discipline. I make sure what your team builds actually gets used and holds up to scrutiny. I make sure your AI implementation is successful and governed, based on the best practices on the market.
Yes. I'm not reselling a platform. I help you choose the right tools for your context and govern them — the strategy is independent of any vendor. I do due diligence on governance vendors — I can't also be their channel partner. You're paying for the one person in the room with no software quota.
Bank-grade governance, scaled down to the needs of a company your size — tracked within the platform and aligned with whatever regulations apply to you.
The Readiness Assessment delivers a prioritized view in 3–4 weeks. From there, the roadmap sequences quick wins early while building toward larger operating-model change.
Whichever question you're stuck on. One diagnostic tells you where the money is, whether your data supports it, and which rules apply — all the facts, one fee. Then we prove it by building one thing and measuring it in 30 days. Higher steps only ever sell machinery and execution, never information you should have gotten cheaper.
Everything I build passes a strict delivery-assurance standard — registered in your AI registry with a rollback plan, human-in-the-loop by default, tested with an evidence pack you keep, rolled out in stages, 30-day warranty. If it can't produce its evidence pack, it doesn't go live.
Three ways: an eligibility rubric in writing (I build on your existing stack, internal-facing or human-reviewed, always reversible — and I decline what's not mine to build); staged rollouts with the code in your repo, not mine; and when a build needs deep engineering, I say so and direct a vetted engineer instead of pretending.
Never. Your GRC is the skeleton; AI governance arrives as an overlay — the registry maps into your platform, AI controls extend your existing control families, and AI risk reports into the committee pack your board already reads. You'll get two lists: what your GRC already covers (don't pay again), and what's genuinely new for AI.
Two kinds of machines: my tools and your appliances. My tools process what you hand me — under business contracts that forbid the AI vendors from keeping or learning from it, with deletion deadlines in the SOW; anything too sensitive is processed inside your walls instead. Everything I build permanently runs in your house: your tenant, your cloud, your API keys — nothing phones home to me. The registry is a document in your SharePoint or your GRC platform, not a service of mine. Revoking my access is one click.
Yes — governed ones. Agentic orchestration without process redesign automates chaos at machine speed. I build agents your board can defend: registered in your AI registry, human-in-the-loop where it matters, with a rollback switch.
Every engagement is fixed-fee and scoped to your situation — you know the cost before we begin. On builds, part of my fee is only payable when your day-30 metric is hit. Request pricing and I'll respond within one business day with a range tied to scope.
