Basem Elasioty

I help organisations design, govern, and scale their data and AI capabilities — from strategy to production.

With over 20 years of hands-on experience across telecom, automotive, pharma, and insurance, I specialise in three areas where most organisations struggle most: building robust data architectures that actually scale, establishing AI and data governance frameworks that satisfy regulators, and translating complex technical challenges into clear business outcomes.

What I bring to your project:

As a former Head of Cloud & AI and senior consultant to Fortune 500 clients, I have delivered end-to-end data platforms, MDM implementations, and enterprise AI governance programmes for organisations including Vodafone, IBM, CHECK24, AVL, and PharmaLex. I hold dual ISO/IEC 42001 certifications (Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor via PECB) — one of very few practitioners in Europe credentialed to both implement and audit AI management systems. I also hold 6 IBM patents in AI and Master Data Management.

I work with clients on:

Data & AI strategy, architecture, and platform design

AI governance frameworks and EU AI Act readiness

Master Data Management (MDM) and data quality programmes

Cloud-native data engineering (Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Kubernetes)

Knowledge graphs and semantic data modelling (RDF, OWL, SPARQL, Neo4j)

ISO/IEC 42001 implementation and audit preparation
