The people behind the programme
Every engagement led by a founder. No junior analysts. No handoffs.
The people behind EAIC
EAIC deliberately operates without a large bench of junior consultants. Every Sentinel engagement is led by Declan or Austin — not handed off to analysts after the first meeting. That constraint is intentional: board-level governance work requires board-level experience, and the clients we work with can tell the difference.
As EAIC grows, this page will introduce the wider team. We hire practitioners — people who have delivered transformation inside regulated organisations, not just advised on it from the outside. If that describes you, we'd like to hear from you.
