Bridging AI research and real-world outcomes.
We're an Istanbul-based AI consultancy founded on a simple premise: the gap between what AI can do and what companies actually deploy is closing far too slowly. We exist to close it — pragmatically, responsibly, and end-to-end.
Empower organisations across Türkiye, the EU, and MENA to unlock measurable business value through pragmatic, responsible AI adoption.
Become the go-to AI consultancy for ambitious mid-market and enterprise companies moving from AI curiosity to AI-first operations — from Istanbul out to the region.
Istanbul, Türkiye
We're rooted in Istanbul's growing tech ecosystem — one of the region's most active markets for applied AI, at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
That matters. Every engagement is built to align with the EU AI Act, GDPR, Türkiye's KVKK, and the sector-specific rules that govern the vertical you're in.
Four things we won't compromise on.
Pragmatic
The best model is the one that ships and pays back. We bias toward what works this quarter, then iterate.
Responsible
Bias audits, explainability, and EU AI Act alignment aren't bolt-ons. They're the design constraints we start with.
Technology-agnostic
We don't sell a product. We pick the stack that fits your data, team, and cost envelope — and justify it.
Transparent
Clear scope. Clear KPIs. Clear ownership. No black-box consulting.

Nadir Aktan
Nadir founded Simone Consultancy to close the gap between cutting-edge AI research and what businesses actually deploy in production. His background spans marketplace analytics at Amazon, enterprise solution accounts at Zebra Technologies, and quantitative roles across trading desks, real estate, and banking — the commercial and analytical blend every AI engagement needs.
His focus at Simone: client strategy, KPI-driven engagement design, and making sure every project delivers something the business can measure — the same analytical discipline applied to AI delivery.
Lean core team, vetted freelance surge network.
