About
Sami Tayara
Founder & Principal, Aiconomica — AI Strategy, Agentic AI & Governance · the Economics of Enterprise AI
I help enterprises turn governed data into measurable AI value — scoping AI by its economics, building agentic solutions, and governing them responsibly. I bring 30+ years across enterprise data, telecom, and technology, now sharpened with hands-on agentic-AI engineering, so AI delivers business results, not science projects.

Profile
Business & Technology
Dual majors in economics and computer science, backed by 30+ years across enterprise data, telecom, and technology. I work at the intersection of business and engineering — data architect, engineer, and analyst at once, and a team leader and coach — which is exactly where AI value is won or lost.
AI Strategy & Economics
I scope AI by its economics, not its hype — identifying and business-casing use-cases ranked by ROI, and turning governed, AI-ready data into measurable value. Recent agentic-AI engineering credentials (MCP integration, coding agents, Devoteam AI Architect) mean I build working agents and pilots, not just slide decks.
Delivery & Governance
I have driven business transformations around the world — assessing maturity across organisation, process, systems, and data, defining the roadmap, and putting it into action. For AI I add the governance that keeps it trustworthy: model risk, audit trails, and responsible-AI readiness aligned to national AI regulations.
Ahead of the curve — since 2017
Back in 2017 I founded Aiconomica on a simple conviction: AI had reached a turning point, and the decade would belong to data-driven, AI-infused business models. The real differentiator wouldn’t be the technology — it would be the economics: turning AI into measurable value on a foundation of governed, trustworthy data. Years on, that is exactly the bridge I help organisations cross.
