The Databricks Delivery partner has appointed ex-Accenture & Salesforce executive Brett Raven to lead the business and has added a senior advisory board.

SYDNEY & SINGAPORE & LONDON: #AI--Get AI Ready, a new AI and data transformation consultancy, has launched operations across Sydney, Singapore and London. The firm is purpose-built to help enterprises establish the data foundations required to successfully adopt and scale artificial intelligence.

Get AI Ready, operating as a subsidiary of the Rhino Partners group, is backed by deep experience in enterprise transformation, data platforms and advanced analytics. As an active Databricks delivery partner, it supports organisations as they modernise data infrastructure and operationalise AI.

The business will be led by Brett Raven, former Managing Director at Accenture, who brings decades of experience advising global enterprises across data, cloud and digital transformation. Based in Sydney, Raven has also held senior leadership roles at Salesforce, combining deep consulting expertise with hands-on platform delivery experience.

“AI success starts with data readiness,” said Raven, Managing Director of Get AI Ready. “Too many organisations are investing in AI without the right foundations. Get AI Ready exists to bridge that gap, helping businesses design, build and scale the data platforms, engineering capabilities and operating models required to turn AI ambition into real outcomes.”

Get AI Ready’s London operations will be led by Ranjeet Lal, formerly of Cognizant, where he advised enterprises across data, analytics and technology-led transformation initiatives. From London, he will oversee expansion across the UK and Europe.

In addition to the operational team Get AI Ready has appointed advisory board members Dalibor Ivkovic (Asia-Pacific) and Michael Rehfeld (Australia). Both have served in senior roles with Accenture.

As part of its launch, Get AI Ready has been actively hiring data scientists, data engineers and software engineers, building specialist teams focused on:

• Modern data platform design and implementation
• AI-ready data infrastructure
• Advanced analytics and machine learning enablement
• Enterprise operating models for AI adoption

The firm works closely with technology partners, to deliver scalable, production-grade solutions that enable organisations to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI adoption.

Its delivery approach combines platform engineering, data governance and operating model design to ensure AI initiatives move beyond pilots into secure, production environments that deliver measurable business value.
