Pietro Piga

I lead the global Salesforce and AI platform of a multinational industrial group in the energy sector. A team of nine, and the roadmap of a platform the business runs on.

This page is for people assessing me rather than hiring my advisory practice: recruiters, hiring managers, and anyone who found this site by searching my name. The short version, with the numbers attached.

The scale I work at

Scope

~$5bn

of annual revenue carried by the platform I run

Responsibility

$1M

annual project budget, mine to defend

hours returned to the organisation by CRM modernisation

Two programmes, counted

Not a list of responsibilities. Two things that shipped, with the number that came out of them.

CRM modernisation at global scale

A programme covering 66 business requirements in one fiscal year. Form fields cut by 70%, load speed improved by 25%.

69,147 hours returned, ~€1M of annual value

AI agent on Teams and SharePoint

An internal assistant reachable inside Microsoft Teams, without leaving the conversation. Built in-house, with no additional licence cost.

Internal support tickets -30%, friction on sales tools -40%

Alongside the day job I have built fourteen AI agents and tools in the evenings, with my own money. That is where the judgement on what things actually cost to build comes from.

What I am looking for

I am looking for applied AI architect work at a frontier lab or an AI-first company: the customer-facing side of enterprise adoption, where the questions are where AI genuinely creates value, how it connects to systems that already exist, and what makes it outlive the pilot. What makes me say yes is scope large enough that architecture decisions actually bind, and a team that treats an honest 'this will not work' as useful rather than unhelpful. One thing stated up front, because you would find it out anyway: my hands-on work is prototype-led, not production software engineering. I assess feasibility, explain trade-offs, and bring in the people who build.

Direct contact

Email is the fastest route and reaches me directly - it is not a booking form and not a sales enquiry.

This page is the CV. It is built to print: use your browser’s print command and it comes out as a clean PDF, without the navigation and without the booking button.

For the advisory practice - proposal reviews, assessments, architecture advisory at published prices - the entry point is Services, and it is a separate conversation.
