What Krisolis does

Krisolis Limited is a Dublin-based data analytics, machine learning, and AI training, mentoring, and consulting firm founded in 2009 by Aoife D'Arcy (CEO) and Dr. Brian MacNamee (Director of Training). The company helps organisations build in-house data science and AI capabilities through three service pillars: training, mentoring, and consulting. Its client base spans enterprise buyers in banking (Bank of Ireland, Permanent TSB), telecommunications (eir), energy (ESB), insurance (Laya Healthcare), cybersecurity (Trend Micro), consulting (Accenture, PwC), travel (Hostelworld), and the Irish public sector (Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Public Expenditure NDP Delivery & Reform), with stated geographic reach across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.

Krisolis's core product is the AI Empower programme, a three-tier end-to-end AI readiness service (AI Enable, AI Evolve, AI Innovate) launched in 2025, which packages AI strategy, governance, training, and adoption support. This sits on top of a curriculum spanning Fundamentals (data visualisation, business analytics, programming, data preparation), Advanced (deep learning, ML, generative AI, NLP, time series, anomaly detection, MLOps, RAG, AI agents), and Adoption courses for business leaders. The company delivers 4-16 week accredited academies in partnership with TU Dublin as micro-credentials, including the Certificate in Foundations of AI (€2,224.20 list / €999 subsidised through Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet) and a dedicated public-sector variant. Co-founders have authored an MIT Press textbook on machine learning for predictive data analytics that has sold more than 30,000 copies worldwide, and the company draws on a wider faculty of academic and industry practitioners.

The business operates a sales-led professional services model: direct engagement with enterprise and public sector buyers, subsidised training distribution via the Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet, public events and Eventbrite registration, and embedded delivery roles such as SAS training into Accenture. Krisolis is privately held, founder-controlled, and has not raised external funding rounds. Recent signals include the 2025 AI Empower launch, senior commercial hires (Chief Commercial Officer Amy MacCarvill, Head of AI Strategy Kieran Towey), 2024 recognition including the Public Sector Digital Transformation "Digital Skills Initiative of the Year" award, and curriculum expansion into RAG, AI agents, and MLOps.
