About Me

I’m not a consultant.
I’m a builder who consults.

Alon Bochman

Most AI advisors come from strategy firms. They’ll give you a framework and a slide deck. I come from the other side — I’ve built AI systems at Google, managed the PyTorch ecosystem at Microsoft, won Kaggle competitions, and founded two AI companies.

When I engage with your team, I don’t just tell them what to do. I sit in their standups. I review their code. I build prototypes in the morning and present findings to your board in the afternoon. I take responsibility for delivery, not just advice.

Board + Codebase
Columbia MBA. Kaggle Master. I can articulate the strategy to your board and debug the implementation the same afternoon.
Evals Are My Superpower
I founded RagMetrics, an AI evaluation platform. Evals are the missing piece in most AI initiatives — they’re what turns a demo into a production system you can bet your business on.
Enterprise Scale
Grew an AI consulting practice from zero to $1B+ in four years at Genpact. Led AI transformations at companies with 350+ engineers. I know what works at scale, and what breaks.
Founder Who Shipped
Two exits — a startup sold to Thomson Reuters and RagMetrics (2025). I don’t just advise on building companies. I’ve built them.

About Flatiron Consulting
A bet against conventional wisdom

In 1902, an oddly shaped triangular lot in Manhattan seemed unbuildable. Using new engineering — steel frames, elevators, forced-air heating — the architects turned a “lemon” into one of the most iconic buildings in the world.

Flatiron Consulting takes the same approach. We meet companies where they are and apply modern, AI-first engineering to build something remarkable. No hype. Basic building blocks. Measurable outcomes.
