Operators and engineers,
working with AI.

Dr. Lyon works with mid-market companies where critical decisions are outpacing the data infrastructure behind them. At Areté, he leads a specialized data and AI practice spanning strategy, infrastructure, engineering, automation, agentic systems, and custom machine learning. The deliverable is never the technology itself. It's the operational leverage: turning invisible blind spots into visible value levers.

Sarah brings over 15 years of experience helping organizations across six continents operationalize emerging technology in complex, regulated, and high-change environments, including finance, telecommunications, and non-profit. She moves organizations beyond experimentation to embed AI safely and at scale, building durable adoption systems that align people, process, and governance across global teams. Her focus is adoption that outlives our team's involvement, so the capability becomes the organization's own, not something built for it and left behind.
