The strategy advisor who brings board-level judgement to growth-stage decisions. Ken has spent 30-plus years selling and delivering technology at global scale — partner sales for UKI Enterprise Retail at AWS, practice leadership at Cognizant where he doubled Digital Commerce revenue, and delivery leadership at KPS, HCL, and Tryzens. Now he serves as NED and strategic advisor to AI-native and SaaS businesses — bringing governance, commercial discipline, a buyer-side view of how enterprises choose and adopt technology, and hands-on guidance on industry-tailored agentic AI solutions for revenue, growth, and productivity.
Ken Konsein has spent three decades on every side of the enterprise technology table. At AWS, he ran partner sales for UKI Enterprise Retail — advising account teams and clients on how to get real value from GSIs, SIs, and ISVs. At Cognizant, he headed the Digital Commerce practice for UK and Ireland, doubling revenue and growing delivery capability by 60% while personally advising tier-1 retail, consumer goods, and travel clients. Before that: Chief Delivery Officer at KPS, Director of Digital and OmniChannel at HCL, and eleven years running professional services at Tryzens, including interim CIO posts — all underpinned by an MBA from Imperial College Business School, specialising in New Ventures and Entrepreneurship.
What's rare about Ken is the combination. He's a commercial strategist who knows how enterprise buyers evaluate, procure, and adopt technology — because he sat on that side at AWS. And he's a delivery leader who has run the practices, programmes, and P&Ls that turn strategy into shipped outcomes. Boards get both: the governance lens of a seasoned NED and the operating instincts of someone who has built and scaled the function.
The work spans the growth journey. For AI-native and SaaS businesses, Ken provides independent oversight and strategic guidance — governance, risk, performance, and long-term focus, as he does today as NED at ENAI, the agentic AI business development platform. For established enterprises, he advises on industry-tailored agentic AI — intelligent digital workers and AI-powered workflows applied where they move revenue, growth, and productivity. For scale-ups selling into enterprise, he brings the buyer-side view: how retail and consumer businesses actually choose platforms and partners. For leadership teams, he is a hands-on advisor who contributes from the first meeting — strategy, partner motion, delivery model, and commercial discipline as one connected system.
From board governance to partner strategy, each engagement brings thirty years of buyer-side and delivery-side judgement to the decisions that shape the business.

Ken engages where strategy meets execution — boards needing independent judgement, CEOs structuring partner and cloud motions, leadership teams scaling delivery, and enterprises adopting industry-tailored agentic AI for revenue, growth, and productivity. Most advisory ends with recommendations. Ken's engagements end with decisions that hold — because the advice comes from someone who has sold for the hyperscaler, run the practice P&L, and delivered the programmes. The deliverable is judgement that survives contact with delivery.
