About
A boutique consultancy for the digital frontier.
Bulbul & Barbet is a boutique Digital Frontiers Consultancy with a global horizon, state-of-the-art methodologies and a mission to change the way organisations operate — and empower them to do a million times better.
Mission
Bulbul & Barbet exists to help leave behind a healthier planet for the next generation — to brace for climate change, transform societies so they can withstand the challenges ahead, maintain a good quality of life for their citizens, and safeguard democracy and education.
Digital tools, and AI in particular, are the most powerful lever available to act on these stakes. Used well, they multiply the capacity to understand complex systems and make better decisions. Used badly, they will accelerate the very harms they are meant to prevent.
Vision & Values
A world where every leader can engage the frontier with judgement — not awe, not fear — and where institutions are equipped to make decisions their grandchildren will defend.
Long horizons
Bulbul & Barbet works on the timescales that matter — climate, democracy, generational welfare.
Evidence over hype
Frontier-aware, but allergic to vendor narratives. Claims are tested against the literature.
Independence
Boutique by design. No hyperscaler funding, no conflicted incentives.
Operating globally
A global horizon by default — partnering with leaders and institutions across Europe and beyond.
Founder
About the practice.
Bulbul & Barbet works at the intersection of AI & business development, research and public policy and strategy, with a particular interest in how Democratic institutions, governments and mission-driven organisations can shape — rather than merely consume — the digital frontier.
