Our AI Consulting Services

AI Consulting for Fintech Leaders

Most fintech executives know they need to act on AI, but aren't sure what their team is already doing with it, what risks they're exposed to, or how to make confident decisions at board level.

Mark McKee brings hands-on CTO experience across eTrading, payments and commodities to cut through the noise. This isn't generic AI advice. It's practical guidance from someone who has deployed, governed and scaled AI in demanding financial services environments.

Three ways to work with us

AI Readiness Assessment

A structured review of how AI is being used across your technology team, which tools, on what data, and where your risks lie. Delivered as a written report with prioritised recommendations your leadership team can act on immediately. Typically completed in 2–3 weeks.

Ideal for: firms that suspect they have AI exposure but don't have full visibility.

AI Strategy & Governance Advisory

Ongoing fractional CTO support for firms navigating AI adoption. We help you build a practical AI policy, evaluate tooling, brief your board, and stay ahead of regulatory developments, without slowing down your engineering team.

Ideal for: firms that want senior AI oversight without a full-time hire.

Interim AI Leadership

For firms that need an experienced technology leader to take full ownership of AI adoption end-to-end — from team enablement and tooling decisions to infrastructure and risk management.

Ideal for: firms in transition, post-incident, or facing a step-change in AI ambition.

The questions we help you answer

Generative AI

Where can GenAI genuinely improve productivity in your firm, and where do the risks outweigh the benefits? We help you make that distinction clearly, so your team is using it where it adds value and avoiding it where it creates exposure.

Agentic AI

Agentic AI can dramatically accelerate engineering output, but it needs the right human oversight and validation in place. We advise on how to deploy it safely so it stays within its remit and behaves with integrity.

Business strategy

AI is forcing every fintech to rethink its value proposition. What worked last year may not be your competitive advantage next year. We help leadership teams think through what AI means for their strategy, and what to do about it.

Data, privacy & cyber risk

Your proprietary data, client information and pricing logic are all at risk if AI tools aren't governed correctly. We've helped firms build controlled AI environments that prevent data leaking to external providers, protecting your IP without blocking your team's productivity.

Ethics, governance & explainability

AI isn't always truthful, and in a regulated environment that matters. We help you put in place the audit trails, access controls, oversight mechanisms and logging that mean you can always explain and defend every AI-driven decision.

Why Agile Mind

Advice from a practitioner, not a vendor

Most AI consultants either come from a technology background with no financial services experience, or from financial services with no real AI expertise. Mark McKee has both.

With a track record as CTO and CPTO across FX, equities, commodities, crypto and payments, including firms handling billions in daily flow, Mark understands the operational, regulatory and competitive pressures you're under. He's deployed AI in production environments where the stakes are real. That's the difference between advice that sounds right and advice that works.

"Never underestimate the power of people skills in a technology environment. Without being able to lead cohesive teams, nothing meaningful is achieved for the client."—
