Kreoh Welcomes Dr Brian Williamson as Chief Strategy Officer: A Game-Changing Partnership Aligned with National AI Growth Initiatives
In a groundbreaking step for AI innovation and high-growth strategy, Kreoh, a leading artificial intelligence company, has appointed Dr Brian Williamson as Chief Strategy Officer.
This transformative collaboration combines Kreoh’s cutting-edge AI capabilities with Dr Williamson’s proven track record in driving exponential business growth, setting the stage for a revolutionary impact on businesses and industries worldwide.
Dr Williamson, recognised by the Institute of Directors as Non-Executive Director of the Year in 2021, is celebrated as a strategic visionary. His leadership has driven remarkable growth across multiple sectors, including scaling an Edinburgh-based R&D tax credit firm to a dominant position in the UK market and advising global organisations as part of Your Research and Development Advisory Board. His ability to unlock exceptional growth trajectories positions him as an unparalleled asset to Kreoh’s mission.
Garry Tiscovschi, a founder of Kreoh and the driving force behind its evolution from an AI advisory business to a multi-agent AI engine for R&D tax consultants, highlighted the significance of this partnership:
“Our R&D engine is built to navigate the complex and diverse regulations of global jurisdictions, adhering to the highest international standards. To achieve our ambitious goals, we sought out Brian, one of the first R&D tax specialists in the UK, whose expertise in executive search, client growth, and business support is unparalleled.
“His strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive impressed us from the outset when he joined as Advisory Board Chairman. Now, we are thrilled to welcome him in a full-time leadership role as Chief Strategy Officer, guiding Kreoh through its next phase of rapid growth.”
Kreoh has already made waves in AI-driven regulatory reporting, particularly in streamlining R&D tax credit applications. Its pioneering AI engine empowers professionals to ensure compliance of eligibility and accuracy in submissions, leveraging the precision of AI. This, combined with human expertise provides for flawless execution.
Dr Williamson’s vision extends beyond short-term gains, aiming to create lasting innovations that redefine industry standards and catalyse economic growth.
He said: “Governments often focus on initiatives that yield results within the lifespan of a parliamentary term, leading to short-term thinking. AI, however, provides an accelerant capable of transforming economies well within those timeframes. This technology is a game-changer for industries and governments alike.”
The timing of this announcement aligns with national priorities. Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently underscored the role of AI in driving economic growth, announcing plans to expand public computing capacity and create AI “growth zones.”
Kreoh’s mission of leveraging AI for transformative outcomes complements these initiatives, making its approach both timely and strategically aligned with government objectives.
