Agile and AI consultancy for Southeast Asia
Whether the plan is Agile, AI, or the data underneath it, we build it into how your teams work, sprint by sprint, until they can run it on their own.
100+
Across banking, insurance, energy and government since 2016.
Agile, plus AI and data.
Since 2016, Ekipa has worked with banks, insurers and enterprises across the region. We help teams collaborate, leaders manage change, and organisations turn strategy into work that gets done.
What our clients need now
Boards are deciding what to invest in AI. Managers are being asked to lead change they didn't choose. Data leaders are checking whether the systems underneath can carry it. Same work we've always done, in a new form.

From plan to working teams
Map the plan to the work
Ekipa turns your strategy into a clear, prioritised plan your teams can start on right away.
Bring the right people in
Coaches to change how your teams work, and embedded experts to build the AI and data alongside them.
Start sprinting
We work in 90-day cycles until your teams can run it themselves, or the project is delivered.
Built for regulated, complex
enterprises
Ekipa works inside banking, insurance, energy and government-linked enterprises across Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, where regulation and scale shape how change gets delivered.
Local consultants, coaches and facilitators
Ekipa began in Jakarta in 2016, founded by Hugo Messer. Singapore followed in 2018 with Paul Hutton, and Malaysia in 2020. Bridge Global provides the engineering bench when a client needs to build.








We turn strategy into teams that make it happen
A board signs off, a roadmap arrives, and the work stalls. We close that gap, building the plan into how your teams work until the new way runs on its own. That takes three things in your people.
Entrepreneurship
People who take ownership and build what the work needs.
Self-organisation
Teams that decide, adapt and deliver on their own.
A balanced workplace
Sustainable ways of working, with AI used by human judgement.

STRATEGY
Enterprise AI in Southeast Asia: what boards are asking for
What clients ask before they start
Ekipa is an Agile and AI consultancy working with enterprises across Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. We take a strategy a board or leadership team has already approved and build it into how your teams work day to day, through training, coaching, consultancy, data modernization and delivery.
Both. Agile has been our core work since 2016, and it still is. Since 2025, we also help enterprises with AI readiness and data, using the same people-and-change approach. Most clients come to us for one and find the two connect.
We have offices in Jakarta, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, and deliver across Southeast Asia. Our consultants know the local regulators (OJK in Indonesia, MAS in Singapore) and run engagements onsite or remotely.
Our AI work runs from awareness and hands-on AI training for teams and managers, to AI strategy and governance for leadership, to data modernization and building a use case into production. You can start with a single workshop or a full engagement.
Most start with a scoping conversation, then a short plan mapped to your goals. We bring coaches to change how teams work and embedded experts to build the AI or data alongside them, then hand both over so your teams run them on their own.
