Why Gourmand

What we do differently

Senior practitioners with PhDs, MIT AI lecturing experience, and deep enterprise consulting heritage. Every engagement, every time.

Principal-Led

Senior practitioners only

No bait-and-switch. Senior practitioners with decades of enterprise delivery work directly on your project. No juniors, no handoffs.

GenAI-Exclusive

Not a general AI shop

We don’t do mobile apps, web dev, or legacy ML. Specialized GenAI practices only. Deep expertise, not diluted breadth.

Implementation

Beyond strategy decks

Strategy through production deployment. We build, optimize, and operate the GenAI systems that move your business metrics.

FinOps Built In

Cost intelligence from day one

Every engagement includes cost optimization. We audit cloud spend, right-size infrastructure, and eliminate waste before scaling. Your AI shouldn’t bankrupt your budget.

Regulated

Built for compliance

GenAI deployed in regulated environments across defense and finance. We understand governance, not just code.

Global Reach

Boston HQ, global delivery

Projects delivered across the US, UK, Germany, Qatar, and Australia. Enterprise-grade consulting with boutique attention.
