"From where we were in February to where we are now, there's a complete difference. The majority of engineering is completely converted. We see a stark difference now."
Read the Instem case study →"Chris helped us build a production LLM meal generator that made our customers happier and increased revenue. Our AI system reduced customer plan changes by 30% (meaning happier customers) and increased basket usage by 14% (meaning more revenue per customer)."
Read full case study →"We were recommended some large organisations for AI training. But in the end, we used Chris, and he's been great. We've had some fantastic outcomes so far."
Read the VenturEd case study →"The team and I have really benefited from and enjoyed working with Chris. He has worked cross functionally to raise our organisational AI maturity, increasing both our internal productivity and effectiveness, and clarifying the path to production for our agentic tooling. Would recommend as a great way to augment internal capabilities."

I've been a CTO and founder. I've scaled companies whilst building production AI systems and transformed delivery using AI tools.
Scaled teams from 5-50. Built agencies, B2B, and B2C startups. VC-backed and bootstrapped experience.
Production AI systems with full evaluation frameworks, not demos. Real systems serving 500K+ users.
25 years in tech leadership. I go into organisations and deliver value fast, for leaders who need results now.
"Chris has a wealth of experience on both the CTO side and the AI-enablement side. He's fun to work with, thoughtful and sitting at the cutting edge."
"If you're looking for someone to help build a great team, or you need someone experienced to help develop a sound tech strategy, I would thoroughly recommend Chris."
"Chris has helped me and my teams stay up to date and re-imagine what is possible. He's demonstrated novel ways to get the most out of the new technology on many occasions."
"Great person to go to to work out what really works and what doesn't in AI for software development and the wider business."

"I highly recommend Chris Parsons' AI webinars, they are at the cutting-edge, while at the same time incredibly grounded and practical."
This page is based on my talk at Øredev in Malmö on 4 November 2026. You can see the slides here.
The AI tools work. People have been trained. The strategy has been signed off. Yet many rollouts stall when teams try to change how they actually work.
When I went back through my client conversations, the obstacles were rarely about whether the technology could do the job. They were about what the change meant for the people doing it.
