About Rising AI Group
A senior team that builds AI into the work, not alongside it. The people who scope the
engagement are the people who deliver it.
Why the firm exists
Benedetta Angrilli spent years building and leading the Automation & AI
Centre of Excellence inside Woolworths Group, Australia's largest retailer. The question
that kept arriving from outside the business was always the same: how do we get what you
built, without building a whole department first?
For two years the honest answer was unsatisfying — hire a consultant, buy a platform, hope
it sticks. Rising AI Group exists because organisations do not need a department. They need
what a department produces, on a timeline that does not require building one first.
Who you actually work with
Senior people on the work itself, with specialists brought in as each engagement
requires.

Senior Advisor Europe · Milan
A decade as a chief executive transforming businesses across Europe, with
a BCG background behind it. He has led the kinds of organisations our clients lead,
which is why the first conversation tends to be shorter than most.

How we build
Three commitments that tend to matter more to a board than which model was chosen.
Auditable by design
Every agent is human-designed and human-reviewed before production. Nothing runs that
our senior team cannot explain, decision by decision.
No vendor lock-in
Each agent uses whichever model does its specific job best, at the lowest cost.
Switching is a configuration change rather than a migration.
Built for scrutiny
ISO 27001 certification underway, targeting early 2027, with EU AI Act and GDPR compliance programmes being built alongside it — so agents can touch regulated processes, which is usually where the value is.
Bring the workflow that's costing you most
Thirty minutes. It is the opening exercise from our Value Creation Sprint, scoped to one
workflow you choose. You leave knowing what the first agent would be and roughly what it is
worth — whether or not we end up working together.
