Experience gained at bp, RWE and Bouygues.
The emerging challenge
The deadline moves closer. The uncertainty stays.
Your teams lose time reconciling assumptions, filtering tender packages and chasing inputs from origination to financial close. The decisions that protect margin and move opportunities forward get squeezed.
Instead of adding another standalone AI tool, build one seamless human-agent system around the way your team works.
The human-led, AI-augmented commercial lifecycle
Give your people room to lead, challenge and decide.
AI agents give your people a head start by detecting signals, building commercial intelligence, coordinating data and preparing drafts. Your people stay focused on building relationships, shaping opportunities, challenging assumptions and approving the commitments that matter.

About Yorik
Commercial leadership first. AI applied with judgement.
I bring more than 15 years of operational and commercial leadership across energy and infrastructure, including bp, RWE and Bouygues.
I worked my way from project engineer to Bid Director on complex international projects. I know the pressure teams face when buyer requirements become assumptions, prices and risks, and important decisions have to be made quickly.
That experience shapes how I bring together commercial strategy, governed human-agent systems and change leadership, helping your teams adopt new ways of working across the full deal lifecycle.

Frequently asked questions
What would you like to know first?
What does Ignis Leadership do?
I help you improve commercial decisions from opportunity to financial close by redesigning your workflows, governance and team practices, then building governed human-agent systems around the way your people work.
How is this different from buying another AI tool?
Most tools automate isolated tasks. I start with your commercial workflow, then connect agents, information, controls and human approvals into a system designed to improve your outcomes and earn your team's trust.
Where should we start?
We start where the pressure is greatest. Commercial discovery and scoping helps you identify the friction, focus on the highest-value opportunity and define a proportionate first step.
Do you build systems as well as advise?
I support you from a commercial problem to an adopted solution. Depending on your needs, I can develop a focused solution, work alongside your internal team, or help you select and oversee a specialist delivery partner. We choose the delivery route around value, capability and risk, not a preferred technology.
How do you keep people in control?
We design decision rights, trusted sources, access controls and approval points into your workflow. Your people remain accountable for relationships, judgement and commercial commitments.
How do you make adoption stick?
Your teams help shape the workflow and use it on real work. Your leaders build the confidence and judgement to challenge outputs and improve the system over time.
Who do you work with?
I work with business development, origination, bid, commercial, procurement and award teams, particularly in energy, infrastructure and industrial markets where decisions carry material risk.
Can we start small?
Yes. We start with a bounded problem and a measurable outcome, then expand only when the workflow proves useful.

AI will expose your slowest bid decision.
Faster production will make slow approvals and unclear ownership harder to hide.
The proposal is becoming the easy part
AI can produce more bid work. The advantage is moving to the decisions before and after it.
Why does every bid feel like starting again?
Your team already knows more than it can find. That is where time, confidence and bidding capacity disappear.
