For CP / FMCG and Logistics leaders whove invested in AI and have little to show for it

You backed the pilot
You hired the vendor
Your board is still waiting

That gap between a promising AI initiative and strategic working systems in production — we close it. Haja led AI at $3B+ CPG. Abhishek shipped 30+ AI products at Deloitte. We've sat in your seat. We know what went wrong. And we know exactly how to fix it.

Stalled AI Pilots?

You're stuck between three bad choices.

01

Big 4 strategy decks

£200K minimum. 14 weeks. 80 pages. Zero implementation.

02

Generic AI advisors

No CPG depth. No data engineering. Cannot connect AI to your P&L.

03

Full-time CAIO hire

£300K+ salary. 4–6 month hire. Role undefined before they start.

There is a fourth option.

Embedded. Outcome-accountable. Sector-deep. Your AI ambition deployed in 30 days at a fraction of the cost.

Who we serve

Which Leader Are You?

These are the three conversations we have regularly — grounded in observed patterns, not personas.

CP/FMCG Tech Leader
VP/Dir Tech · CDO · CTO
£500M–£2B revenue

Core Challenge

Board demanded an AI strategy. Team lacks credibility. Budget stuck in committee.

Why AI Navi Fits

Our CTO has sat in this seat—understands boards, retailer data, and vendors.

Logistics Operations Director
COO · Head of Ops · IT Director
£100M–£1B revenue

Core Challenge

Labour costs up 23%. No consolidated ops data. Competitors moving faster than your spreadsheets.

Why AI Navi Fits

Our data engineering drives 5–10% cost-per-delivery savings (£5M–£10M/year).

PE-Backed CEO or Operating Partner
CEO portco · Operating Partner
£200M–£2B revenue

Core Challenge

Need a trusted partner across the portfolio — fast, under £25K to approve.

Why AI Navi Fits

Sub-£25K entry. 90-day delivery. Fundable SCALE AI™ model. Our team speaks PE and brings board credibility. Multi-portco rollout.

Sound familiar? Let's turn these patterns into progress.

What makes us different

1
Only UK fractional CAIO with CP/FMCG insider credentials
Haja led AI and data at pladis ($3B+ CPG)—lived it, not advised it.
2
Three-pillar integration — Strategy + Data + Change
AI Navi delivers all three with a single enterprise-vetted team—no handoffs.
3
Live production proof — not claims
ApplyGenius, SalesGenius, P8 are real products with real users today.
4
SCALE AI™ — proprietary documented methodology
A repeatable delivery system, not a process deck.
What the generalists don't have
  • CP/FMCG or Logistics sector depth
  • Data engineering capability
  • Change management accountability
What agencies can't offer mid-market
  • 4–6 month mobilisation cycle
  • Founder accountability
  • Sub-£25K entry that clears procurement without a committee
"The companies that win with AI won't be the ones with the biggest budgets. They'll be the ones that build the right thing."
