bosio.digital is a founder-led boutique AI consultancy, started in 2005 by Sascha Bosio and Laura Pretsch. Twenty-five years building digital transformation for global brands — adidas, Sony, Mercedes-Benz, Montblanc — now spent helping mid-market leaders adopt AI in a way that elevates their people, not replaces them.

A two-decade head start, in three moments — long before the current wave made AI a boardroom word.
Sascha was at Artificial Life in Frankfurt — one of Germany’s first AI companies — working under AI pioneer Prof. Eberhard Schöneburg. An early education in what the technology could do, and a sharper one in what organizations weren’t yet ready to do with it. That gap — technical possibility versus human readiness — became the question the firm was built to answer.
Founded as bosio.digital, we spent the next seventeen years building digital transformation for adidas, Sony, Mercedes-Benz, and Montblanc — and watched it stall every time the people side got ignored. Running in parallel: a 25-year contemplative practice. Resistance, ego, and the distance between what an organization says it wants and what it does turn out to be the same problems in a boardroom and in stillness.
When AI became a serious business imperative, we already had the vantage: a technical foundation two decades deep, plus the discipline to see clearly while everyone else reacted. In 2023 we turned it into a practice: AI Transformation, done Humans First. Start with people, psychological safety, and readiness; end in teams actually using AI.
Most AI initiatives fail on people, not technology — not on the model. Three things we hold to:
We start with people, workflows, and readiness — before a single tool gets deployed. That’s why adoption holds after we’ve gone.
Every engagement is led by the founders — no handoffs to junior consultants — with a senior bench brought in by name when a build needs specific depth.
We build the system with you and hand it over — a capability you keep, not a subscription you rent. How we build it →
We build Claude-native — it’s strongest where voice and judgment matter — but we’re pragmatic across the stack you already run: if your team lives in Microsoft 365 Copilot or Google Workspace, or you’ve standardized on ChatGPT, we build there too, and tell you honestly where each fits. You own everything we build: the prompts, pipelines, playbooks, and the data flowing through them. No lock-in, no rented black box. How we build it →
25+ years guiding digital transformation for adidas, Sony, Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola, and Montblanc — with a technical AI foundation that predates the current wave by two decades (Artificial Life, 2001). Leads every client engagement personally.
