[Discuss your growth priorities](https://nicolai-ai.vercel.app/smes#conversation)With Nicolai · SMEs Your operating environment ## The next stage needs more than another tool. Customer insight, the sales pipeline and operational reality often sit in different places. Your leadership team needs to see the relationships: what you promise, what customers value and what the business can deliver. That is where my commercial and AI experience comes together. What we can work towards ### A clearer commercial picture Connect agreed pipeline, customer and operating information so leaders can see where the business is gaining or losing momentum. ### A promise teams can deliver Bring positioning, sales conversations and customer experience together. Use shared context to make the brand’s promise practical. ### Capability around your people Build useful workflows and second brains with the team, so knowledge is easier to find and recurring work takes less effort. Experience that informs the work ## Sales and product are part of the same job. Recent work includes UKOPRA’s live operating platform, full-stack financial AI at Tobin and an accounting-practice migration pilot with IRISv2. That hands-on work builds on a commercial background: leading a sector representing more than 40% of Workbooks revenue, building a seven-person sales team at Fygo and establishing RescueMetrics in EMEA.

A replacement is not assumed. We start with the tools and information you use, then agree what is worth connecting, improving or building.
