APPLIED AI
Applied AI for Operators, Designed to Deliver Portfolio Performance
We embed AI solutions into your operations, team, and growth strategy so you hit the numbers that matter to you and your board.
We are former operators who solve complex challenges with AI solutions
AI is constantly evolving, and the time to transform your business is now. Your board wants AI transformation results, your team is stretched, and the window to create value is limited.
Common challenges include:
Moving at PE speed
Your PE sponsor expects rapid change and growth, but technology, organizational, and process challenges mean you can’t meet those expectations.
Persistent gaps in technology
Your systems have gaps that impact your operational efficiency and are expensive to resolve.
Poor data quality, integrations, & architecture
You have a wealth of data, but you are unable to unlock the value of it due to bad data, non-integrated systems, and architecture that doesn’t scale.
Messina Group’s Technology Advisory practice is led by C-level former operators who have run PE- backed companies, know where AI creates value, and know exactly how to realize that value while minimizing risk.

What It Is
Assess your organization through the lens of our AI frameworks to build your prioritized AI roadmap and align your leadership team on where we are heading and the business value.
Why It Matters
Most AI initiatives fail because the strategy and business case was underdeveloped or ignored. Getting this right from the start is the difference between AI that creates value and AI that creates noise.
I'm InterestedWhat It Is
We identify and deploy generative AI and automation solutions that eliminate manual work, accelerate decision making, and free up your team to focus on what drives growth.
Why It Matters
Manual processes, slow decisions, and operational drag erode the value your team has created. Gen AI turns everyday inefficiency into a compounding advantage.
I'm InterestedWhat It Is
We design and lead structured change enablement programs that drive adoption, reduce resistance, and protect your AI investment.
Why It Matters
Change enablement is the difference between an AI initiative that transforms how your business operates and a costly investment that gets abandoned post-launch.
I'm InterestedWhat It Is
RPA enables automation in legacy technology platforms that lack built-in capabilities. We build and deploy automation that runs 24/7, reduces errors, and frees your people to focus on work that requires human judgment.
Why It Matters
Headcount is expensive, replacing legacy systems is costly and complex, and manual processes don’t scale efficiently. RPA delivers operational capacity that improves your cost structure.
I'm InterestedWhat It Is
A dedicated team that coordinates multiple transformation workstreams, manages dependencies, and drives adoption, turning complex initiatives into executed results.
Why It Matters
We provide governance, issue resolution, and change management that prevents transformation programs from becoming expensive pilots that never scale. Our TMO gives you the dedicated capacity and expertise to deliver on time while maintaining business operations.
