Technology Advisory
Strategy, architecture, and build-vs-buy, grounded in the business case. Independent recommendations you can act on — no vendors to favour, no upsell to protect.
Sentavia is an independent technology and AI advisory practice, bringing business judgement, technical depth, and a clear read on what the team can sustain.
Founder & Principal
A technologist by trade — software engineer, then solution architect — who moved closer to the business without leaving the code behind. At Alfa Financial: core systems for Santander, Bank of America, and Toyota. At Deloitte Ventures: business and operating models for 20+ ventures, before any architecture was drawn. Sentavia is where it meets — technology and AI advice grounded in the business case, from someone who still builds.
Where we work
Strategy houses know the business. Engineers know the technology. Change teams know the people. The decisions that go wrong are the ones handled by someone who only sees one circle — Sentavia works in the middle.
How we engage
Three ways to engage — depending on where you are and what you need.
Strategy, architecture, and build-vs-buy, grounded in the business case. Independent recommendations you can act on — no vendors to favour, no upsell to protect.
Where AI moves the numbers, and where it doesn't. From use-case selection to hands-on proof of concept — the honest read on what's real and what's hype.
Pre-acquisition and pre-investment assessments. Architecture, team, technical debt, and AI readiness — as a clear, investable view. Post-close, we can stay on as the technology partner.
When building is the right call, we shape and oversee the delivery — with a vetted specialist network executing. We stay accountable for the outcome, without becoming your dev shop.
Where we go deep
Deep experience in data, AI, and cloud architecture — AI systems and agents, the data and integration layers that feed them, and the infrastructure underneath. But the starting point is always the business case, never the technology for its own sake.
We're AI-native in how we work, too — every engagement runs on the same tools and workflows we recommend. That's how a lean practice and a specialist network move faster than a traditional team.
You already know what's at stake.
We work with PE-backed portfolio companies and founder-led businesses making consequential technology decisions.
Start with a single conversation — no preparation needed. We'll respond with a focused perspective within 48 hours.
