About
Thornbridge Advisory is a strategic consultancy focused on the governance, oversight, and institutional integration of advanced AI systems. The firm supports leadership teams, public institutions, and investors navigating the structural and societal implications of high-impact technologies.
Its approach is grounded in systems thinking and organisational design, with an emphasis on reducing systemic risk and aligning decisions with long-term objectives. Engagements are discreet, tailored, and designed to support high-consequence decision-making — particularly where AI intersects with governance, policy, and institutional accountability.

The name reflects the firm’s philosophy: Thorn for complexity and consequence, Bridge for the structure and foresight required to guide decisions that endure.
