Strategic advisory built for the AI era.

We partner with CEOs and private equity partners to design and execute AI strategies that deliver measurable business value. Four advisory practices, one operating model: institutional rigor, AI-native pace, productized Skills that make the work compound.

Axel founded Odyssey in 2020 and led its pivot in 2025 toward exclusive AI strategy advisory. Twenty years advising CEOs, boards, and private equity sponsors on high-stakes strategic, capital, and M&A decisions across technology, healthcare software, and industrial services.

Why Odyssey, and not someone else.

Why Odyssey, and not someone else.

Large strategy houses are slow and expensive. AI-native consultancies lack the depth to guide a €10B decision. We sit at the intersection — strategy-grade rigor, AI-native fluency, partner-led throughout. Our approach, The AI Strategy Framework™, covers the full AI value chain from thesis to performance measurement.

Partners stay in the room — no juniorization
Engagements measured in weeks — 4 to 12, not quarters
Every engagement ships a productized Skill you keep

AI Strategy Design.

AI Strategy Design.

End-to-end strategy from thesis to roadmap to operating model. We start with your industry economics, not with generic frameworks — and we leave you with a roadmap your operating committee can actually defend.

AI thesis & roadmap

12-month plan grounded in your unit economics.

Operating model redesign

Where decisions sit, who decides, how fast.

AI ROI & Value Measurement.

Rigorous quantification of AI's economic impact — revenue, cost, strategic value. We help companies move beyond pilot-stage ambiguity to defensible measurement, so boards can scale what works and stop what doesn't.

Value pool mapping

Quantified by business line and use case.

Investment model

3-year NPV, sensitivity tables, decision tree.

Strategic Due Diligence.

Pre-investment evaluation for PE-backed AI-native and AI-enabled targets. Market sizing, competitive moat, unit economics, technical scalability — delivered in 4 to 6 weeks with the depth your IC expects.

Market & moat assessment

TAM, competitive dynamics, defensibility.

Technical & operational review

Architecture, talent, scalability risks.

AI Pricing Strategy.

AI integration creates a pricing dilemma: increased value to customers, exposure to foundation-model commoditization. We design pricing architectures that capture AI value while defending against LLM alternatives — for SaaS editors and AI-powered platforms repricing the value architecture.

Value-based pricing architecture

Van Westendorp, Gabor-Granger, MaxDiff — quantitative WTP research.

Migration strategy

From legacy to AI-augmented pricing — board-level argumentation.
