Meditari Information

Meditari is the advisory firm for the economics of AI, established in Dubai in 2018 and working across the Gulf and Europe. The firm runs two practices. The advisory practice covers AI model contracts, compute capacity commitments, technology vendor selection and cost governance, across three services: AI strategy advisory, AI capacity advisory and AI execution advisory. Capacity is the flagship, on the basis that compute is the largest line in most AI budgets and the least advised. Meditari does not build. It assesses the need, recommends the route, structures the terms and oversees delivery by an execution partner appointed for the work, or by one the client has already chosen. The second practice is leadership recruitment for AI and beyond, led by Elsa Babik, Partner, Executive Search. From position specification to appointment, including shortlisting, referencing and assessment against the specification. Both practices serve government and semi-government bodies, telecoms operators, banks, multinationals and large family groups, across the Gulf and Europe.
