About AI Rudder
Why an AI Rudder?
I founded this consultancy to help organizations navigate the complexities of AI adoption. Too often, AI efforts are driven by hype rather than business purpose, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
My approach is different: grounded in objective analysis, built with co-developed, vendor-neutral strategy, and tailored to each company's unique context. I work closely with clients to design AI initiatives that align with their strategic goals while keeping risks and governance front and center. By focusing on practical, sustainable outcomes, AI will help businesses get an early return of investement that can inform expectations and build confidence for further investment decisions.
If you're exploring how AI can support your strategic objectives in a way that is responsible, realistic, and high-impact, I'd be glad to guide you in this journey.

Who am I?
I'm Alexandru Serbanati, a strategic advisor and technologist with over 20 years at the intersection of innovation, AI, and business transformation. Having lived in three countries and worked with a wide range of organizations, from dynamic SMEs to global enterprises, I've developed a perspective that blends adaptability with a focus on what truly drives value. This diversity of experience shapes how I approach every project: with a broad perspective, adaptability, and a focus on what truly matters for each business.
My expertise spans artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and edge computing. Over the years, I've led everything from hands-on development to multi-million-euro R&D programs. My work has included AI security, privacy-preserving technologies, and the use of AI in IT security, bringing together innovation and risk awareness in high-stakes environments. I also led R&D tracks on autonomous working vehicles and the digital transformation of physical products, balancing technological advancement with industrial business goals, stakeholder alignment, and long-term impact. I enjoy bridging perspectives, whether working with C-level executives or technical teams, to bring clarity and ownership to ambitious initiatives.
