Krzysztof Goworek
Enterprise AI Production Architect
I’m Krzysztof Goworek — I help enterprises turn technology investments into business results. Right now, that mostly means getting AI experiments into production.
I don’t call myself an “AI expert” or “AI consultant.” The market is full of those. What I do is different: I engineer the operating systems — the governance, process, and architecture — that allow large organisations to get AI across the finish line.
Where I Come From#
I started coding at 13. What began as curiosity turned into 25 years building software and leading technology organisations — from architecture to production systems, from small tools to enterprise platforms.
In 2018, at my company, we started investing in development of specialised language models. Not fine-tuning. Not prompt engineering. Actual model development — small, specialised models for enterprise use cases. This was before GPT-3, before the hype, before everyone became an “AI expert” overnight. Those models have been productised and spun off as a separate company. I’ve been inside the machine.
Before becoming a CEO, I spent 8 years in enterprise consulting, including IBM Consulting. I learned how large organisations make decisions, how projects get stuck, and why strategy decks rarely translate into results.
For over a decade, I’ve been building and running a technology company — at its peak, 150 employees. Full P&L responsibility. Real budgets, real payroll, real consequences. I know what it means to ship — and what it costs when you don’t. I also learned what works: during this period, I led a digital channel transformation for a major telco that grew revenue in that channel 20x over four years. The lesson: technology investments only pay off when you engineer the governance, process, and architecture to operationalise them.
Who I Work With#
I work with large enterprises — finance, telco, insurance, public sector, retail, and e-commerce. I understand KNF. I understand the AI Act. I understand model risk management. I’m not learning your compliance requirements on your budget.
Most of my clients come to me with the same problem: they have dozens of AI pilots running, but almost nothing in production. The board is asking about ROI. Legal is blocking deployments. Teams are frustrated. I call this “Pilot Purgatory” — and I’ve seen it enough times to know exactly why it happens.
What I Do#
I don’t sell strategy decks. I don’t deliver policies that gather dust. I build production systems — governance frameworks that accelerate (not block), architecture that scales, processes that actually work.
My approach rests on a simple belief: governance is not the product. Governance is the mechanism that allows enterprises to move from pilot to production safely.
I call this Governance as Code. If your AI policy can’t automatically fail a developer’s build when violated, it’s not a control — it’s a suggestion.
I help organisations escape Pilot Purgatory by engineering the full stack: strategy, governance, process, and architecture. Whether that’s a focused audit to diagnose why your pilots are stuck, or ongoing work as a Fractional AI Production Architect embedded in your leadership team.
What I Believe#
Pragmatism over hype. AI is engineering, not magic. It deserves rigorous assessment based on what it can actually do — not breathless predictions.
Governance is non-negotiable. Powerful tools require clear rules. Effective governance builds trust and provides the framework for sustainable innovation.
Humanity at the centre. AI should serve people, not the other way around. Every system I build keeps meaningful human control intact.
Constraints fuel creativity. Limitations — ethical, regulatory, technical — force better solutions. Compliance isn’t a checkbox; it’s a design challenge.
The AI Equilibrium#
This newsletter is where I share what I’ve learned — the pragmatic realities of getting AI into production, the intersection of governance and engineering, and what actually works (and doesn’t) in regulated enterprise environments. No hype. No magic. Just the signal.
