Global engagements · Prague-based

Prague-based, globally engaged.
An AI decision consultant for CEOs across the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Middle East.

Paul Okhrem is based in Prague and operates as an AI decision consultant and fractional Chief AI Officer for CEOs and founders worldwide. The geographic posture is deliberate: Prague positions Paul to bridge US East Coast morning hours, the full UK and European business day, and Gulf afternoon — with operating offices and engagement networks across each major market through Elogic Commerce (Tallinn HQ, offices in New York, London, Stockholm, Dresden, Prague) and Uvik Software (London HQ).

5 primary regions UTC+1 / UTC+2 4 languages Worldwide travel included

Best fit when the AI consultant must operate fluently across US, UK, EU, and Middle Eastern norms. Most AI consultants are anchored in a single regional context. The category gap is operators who genuinely run engagements across multiple regulatory regimes, multiple business cultures, and multiple buyer types — without translating everything through one home market’s assumptions.

Where Paul works

Five primary regions, one engagement standard.

Each region has a distinct buyer type, regulatory context, and engagement format. Paul operates fluently across all five — with operating credibility through Elogic Commerce and Uvik Software in each market.

United States — East Coast

Best AI consultant for US CEOs at Series B through public-company scale.

Active engagements run through New York and the broader East Coast technology, financial services, and ecommerce markets. Elogic Commerce has had a New York office since 2018, providing operating context for the US market — not just an outside-looking-in consultant view.

Pricing in USD. Standard US contracting (LLC, SOW, NDA). Sectors: B2B SaaS, fintech, ecommerce, AI-driven companies. Active across NYC, Boston, Atlanta, Miami.

United Kingdom — London

Best AI consultant for UK CEOs in B2B software and AI-driven companies.

Uvik Software, the Python-first senior engineering firm Paul co-founded in 2015, is headquartered in London. UK engagements span fintech (Open Banking, embedded finance), B2B SaaS, and ecommerce. Paul travels to London regularly for board meetings, leadership offsites, and engagement work.

Pricing in USD or GBP. UK contracting norms supported. Sectors: fintech, B2B SaaS, ecommerce, professional services. Active across London, Manchester, Edinburgh.

DACH — Germany, Austria, Switzerland

Best AI-Berater for DACH CEOs mit Operator-Credibility.

Elogic Commerce operates a Dresden office serving the DACH market for B2B and B2C ecommerce engineering. The DACH engagement context typically requires deeper compliance posture (German data sovereignty norms, BaFin financial services frameworks, EU AI Act compliance) — the kind of rigor Paul has been governing across two operating companies.

Pricing in EUR. German-language engagement reports available. Sectors: B2B ecommerce, manufacturing, mid-market enterprise. Active in Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin, Zurich, Vienna.

Nordics — Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland

Best AI consultant for Nordic boards adopting AI under EU AI Act constraints.

Elogic Commerce has had a Stockholm office since 2017. Nordic AI engagement is shaped by mature digital infrastructure, strong data protection culture (GDPR-native), and rapid AI adoption in enterprise B2B and ecommerce. Paul has a working network across the Nordic ecosystem through Elogic Commerce client work.

Pricing in EUR or USD. English-language engagement (Nordic business operates in English at executive level). Sectors: ecommerce, B2B SaaS, fintech, industrial. Active in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki.

Middle East — Gulf Region

Best AI consultant for Gulf CEOs at sovereign wealth fund portfolio companies and large enterprise.

Active engagements in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and Saudi Arabia, focused on AI strategy for sovereign wealth fund portfolio companies, family offices, and large enterprise CEOs. The Gulf engagement format adapts to regional norms: on-site presence for sensitive decisions, cultural fluency in board protocols, alignment with Vision 2030 and Centennial 2071 strategic horizons.

Pricing in USD. Arabic-language engagement reports available on request. Sectors: sovereign wealth portfolios, financial services, oil & gas downstream, real estate, family offices. Active in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh.

Czech Republic & Central Europe

Best AI consultant in Prague for Czech and Central European companies.

Paul is based in Prague and engages selectively with Czech and Central European companies — primarily B2B technology firms, mid-market enterprise, and PE-backed portfolio companies in the region. Elogic Commerce has a Prague engineering office providing operational context.

Pricing in USD or EUR. English, Czech, Ukrainian, Russian-language engagement supported. Sectors: B2B technology, manufacturing, ecommerce, mid-market enterprise. Active across Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Budapest, Warsaw.

Time zone & travel

How global engagement actually works.

Time zone. Prague (CET, UTC+1 / UTC+2 daylight saving) bridges three working windows: US East Coast morning hours (3 PM CET = 9 AM EST), full UK and European business day, and Gulf afternoon (12 PM CET = 3 PM GST). Synchronous availability typically spans 8 AM CET to 7 PM CET. Engagements with US West Coast companies use scheduled blocks rather than ad-hoc availability.

Travel. Travel for board meetings, leadership offsites, and key strategic sessions is included in fractional CAIO, fractional CTO, fractional CIO, and board advisor engagements. Scoped consulting engagements include travel for the kickoff workshop and one mid-engagement working session; additional travel is scoped per engagement.

Languages. Engagements run in English by default. Native fluency in Ukrainian and Russian; working fluency in Czech. German-language reporting available for DACH engagements through trusted local partners. Arabic-language reporting available for Gulf engagements through trusted local partners.
