Every framework, every diagnostic, every recommendation comes from operating inside the complexity that mid-market leaders face every day.
What we do
AI Edge Strategy bridges the gap between deep institutional wisdom and the next generation of autonomous systems. Not a technology vendor. An experience-led consultancy translating 25+ years of corporate engine-room experience into governed, people-first AI deployments.
Paula does not sell software, take commissions from vendors, or recommend tools based on partnerships. Every recommendation is experience-led, not vendor-driven.
AI should serve people, not replace them.
