AnswerRocket launches new enterprise AI consulting division
AnswerRocket has announced the creation of a new Enterprise AI Consulting Division, accompanied by two significant leadership appointments aimed at facilitating business transformations through artificial intelligence.
"Building on a decade of successfully deploying AI solutions in complex enterprises, we're launching a dedicated consulting capability with a proven approach to AI transformation that combines deep domain expertise with specialized AI capabilities," Alon Goren, CEO of AnswerRocket, stated. "This new division will help more organizations bridge the gap between AI experimentation and business value."
Enterprises frequently encounter challenges when trying to deploy and scale AI solutions effectively, often facing hurdles such as complex data requirements and infrastructure integration. Organizations also require specific expertise to sustain enterprise-level AI solutions. AnswerRocket asserts its ability to address these obstacles, leveraging its experience with companies like AB InBev, Kantar, Suntory Global Spirits, and Cereal Partners Worldwide.
Dr. Ed Dobbles, Chief Analytics Officer at Overproof, who has led analytics teams at various high-profile companies, shared his perspective: "AnswerRocket stands out because they deliver enterprise AI that actually works. They take the time to listen, understand challenges, and build solutions that enhance workflows rather than disrupt them—ultimately generating actionable insights that directly impact the bottom line."
The new division will be guided by two industry veterans. Dan O'Keefe will assume the role of Managing Director, bringing with him extensive experience in scaling enterprise technology practices. His previous roles include Chief Revenue Officer at Aspirent and various leadership positions at consultancies such as Booz & Company and Accenture.
Jim Johnson has been appointed Managing Partner of AI Solutions and Consulting. He arrives at AnswerRocket with a background as Vice President of AI and Data Solutions at NTT DATA Services, and past roles as a Senior Client Partner at Aspirent and a partner at Accenture, amongst other senior leadership positions.
The consultancy will address all stages of enterprise AI challenges, focusing on strategy, implementation, and continuous evolution. This comprehensive approach is informed by AnswerRocket's previous experiences in implementing AI solutions in sectors such as consumer goods, retail, healthcare, and financial services.
AnswerRocket's methodologies cover several key areas, such as strategy and advisory, data architecture and engineering, solution deployment, and evolution support. Utilizing their Max AI platform and proprietary frameworks, the company promises rapid deployment of scalable, integration-friendly solutions.
