What Meritos Consulting does

Meritos Consulting is a boutique, founder-led management and technology consulting firm headquartered in London (71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden) and operating globally. The firm serves enterprise clients — including FTSE100 and other large organisations across Financial Services, Banking, Insurance, Media & Broadcasting, Utilities, Construction, Education, Fintech, and the UK Government — with strategic clarity around technology and AI investments. Its service portfolio is organised into three interconnected pillars: Strategy (Technology, Data & AI Strategy, Business & Enterprise Architecture, Platform & Partner Strategy, Market Entry & Growth Strategy), Execution (Operating Model Design, Commercial Management, Agile Transformation & Performance Improvement, Change Delivery & Enablement), and Optimisation (Decision Intelligence, Simplification & Modernisation, FinOps & Cost Optimisation, Service Management & Operations).

The firm brands itself as AI-native, embedding AI-assisted acceleration across diagnostics and project delivery to compress analysis, sharpen options and automate repeatable consulting tasks. Its AI capability stack spans process automation, optimisation, predictive analytics, autonomous agents (agentic AI advisory), generative AI (explainable AI), and knowledge retrieval — applied primarily to text and structured data modalities. Methodological differentiators include a Strategic Clarity Framework (first-principles problem decomposition), an Ecosystem Approach partnering with innovators across sectors and borders, and an Enduring Outcomes philosophy embedding measures and ownership so value compounds post-engagement.

The business model is professional services revenue from bespoke, multi-year consulting engagements scoped per client need. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagement is initiated through the website contact form, email ([email protected]), or phone. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at CxO and CTO buyers, with founders personally driving business development alongside an advisory and thought-leadership motion (Meritos Perspectives blog, LinkedIn, email newsletter, anonymised case studies). Ownership is concentrated in the two founders, Keith Thomas and Shakti Mohapatra, with no external institutional investment or parent entity disclosed.
