Kieran Gilmurray — CEO
I am a strategic advisor who helps leaders make confident decisions in complex technological environments. My work focuses on where technology creates real advantage, where it does not, and what leaders should do next as a result. I do not treat AI, automation, or data as strategy. Instead, I work directly with leadership teams to translate emerging technology into clear direction, focused priorities, and actions that improve performance. The emphasis is not on activity, but on decision quality, execution speed, and measurable business outcomes. My experience spans artificial intelligence, automation, data, and digital transformation, but always through a commercial and operational lens. Having operated both as a strategist and an implementer within global enterprises, I bring a direct, hands on approach that differs from traditional advisory models built around large teams and extended timelines. My perspective is grounded in real world delivery, not theory. I am the CEO of Kieran Gilmurray & Company Limited, a global advisory firm. Over the past 30 plus years my team and I have: • Scaled enterprise AI, automation, and analytics across FTSE 100 and S&P 500 organisations • Delivered multi-million-pound gains in operational efficiency using proprietary methodologies • Scaled and restructured businesses • Coached boards, c-suites and executives teams to win • Delivered research, advisory and message amplification to get you the MQLs and SQLs you need Our approach is practical, and relentlessly results-focused - we deliver what we promise.
