The Team

The AI Lab is A&M;’s forward-deployed AI engineering capability within Digital & Technology Services EMEA, launching from Madrid and expanding across Europe.
We embed inside client teams to design, build, and ship AI agents, automations, and accelerators that move from advisory insight into production reality—and stay there.
We partner closely with A&M;’s AI Managing Directors and practices (PEPI, CTS, FSI, Restructuring, DTS)



to shape opportunities, deliver on client platforms, and scale impact across a pan-European remit.
