EU-native by design. Senior-led by pedigree. Trusted by global brands.
An AI high-scaler and AI-adoption partner, headquartered in Sofia, built by leaders who shipped enterprise systems at Coca-Cola, Liberty Global, AON, SKF, Brenntag, Sunrise, Ziggo and Philips. We don't pilot. We productionize.
The people you'll name to your board.
Two co-founders, decades of senior enterprise delivery between them, every name and every credential on the public record.
Paul Rylands
Engaging with customers and building successful relationships.
Building successful business relationships
- I strive to understand customers' needs.
- 25+ years managing at senior IT corporate level in the CPG industry — designing and delivering innovative enterprise solutions, partnering with every function of the business from customer-facing right through to back-end services.
Good technology brings great benefits
I'm passionate about using technology to drive change and transformation. I'm extremely value-focused, and ready to ask all the relevant questions to ensure what we deliver brings real benefit — not technology for technology's sake. The discussion starts with what we're trying to achieve, or solve.
A bit more about me
I'm Irish, living in Bulgaria with my wife and three kids. I enjoy the sunshine or the snow depending on the time of year. I'm a keen golfer, and I like to ski or simply go hiking in the mountains.

Sofia-headquartered. European-resident. Globally pedigreed.
An EU firm, with the senior delivery experience of the world's largest enterprises and the cost discipline of a tier-one EU operation. Built to be a partner your DPO, your CFO and your CTO can all defend.
EU-resident by default
People, data and operations on EU soil. No CLOUD-Act exposure for production data. GDPR baked in.
Senior-led, not sold
Every engagement is led by a partner with shipped enterprise pedigree — not handed to a delivery pyramid.
Production, not pilots
We measure ourselves in systems live, not decks delivered. Pilot scope only when productionization is the next obvious step.
Hand-back by design
Engagements end with your team operating the platform. The default exit is enablement, not lock-in.
Names your board already knows.
The brands our leadership has shipped enterprise systems for. Combined pedigree across CPG, telecoms & media, industrials, financial services, chemicals and electronics.
Why we're rebuilding Celthrac around AI & cloud — now.
Europe needs an AI high-scaler it can defend to its own institutions. Hyperscalers are American. Bespoke shops are too small to defend to a regulator. The middle is where we live: the senior pedigree of an American Big Tech consultancy, with the sovereignty of an EU operator.
The Celthrac of 2026 is being rebuilt around that gap. Same leadership pedigree, same delivery discipline — re-pointed at AI & Cloud Convergence as the new platform every European enterprise will defend its operating model on for the next decade.
Our promise is uncomplicated. We ship governed, accountable AI systems on your stack — measured in P&L and risk — and we hand them back to your team to run.
EU-native by design. Sovereign by default.
Your data stays under European jurisdiction — outside CLOUD-Act reach — with transparent handling your DPO can document.
A structural shift is underway. European enterprises and public institutions have stopped treating data sovereignty as a compliance checkbox and started rebuilding around it. Schrems II, the EU Data Act, NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act have turned foreign-jurisdiction exposure into a board-level risk — while dependence on US hyperscalers, the reach of the US CLOUD Act and a shifting transatlantic data-transfer regime have made "where does our data actually live, and who can compel access to it?" a question every CIO now has to answer.
That has created the fastest-growing demand in the European market: sovereign-by-design AI and cloud — systems that deliver hyperscaler-grade capability while keeping data, models and operations under European control. Most enterprises know they need it. Far fewer know how to get there without stalling their AI roadmap.
That gap is exactly where Celthrac works — as both advisor and builder.
Advisory — chart the sovereign path
We map your jurisdictional exposure across data, models and integrations, translate the regulatory landscape (GDPR, EU Data Act, EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA) into concrete architectural requirements, and produce a sovereignty target-state and migration roadmap your DPO, CISO and board can all sign.
Implementation — build it on EU soil
We engineer and migrate the workloads — AI and cloud platforms with EU data residency, transparent handling and ISO 27001-aligned controls — then hand them back for your team to run. Hyperscaler-grade capability, under European control, in production.
From pedigreeto platform.
Senior leadership. EU sovereignty. Marquee proof. Engaged the same way for every client — bring the use case, leave with the architecture.
