Cigno AI attended a meeting with a major consulting firm discussing data sovereignty.

Management consulting is one of the most intellectually demanding professions in the world. Yet the tools consultants rely on have not kept pace with the complexity of what they do. Cigno was founded to change that. We build the AI-Native Core Consulting System, co-designed with and for consultants, that combines the art of management consulting with the mastery of AI. What Cigno does: Cigno combines a specialized network of AI agents & workflows, hundreds of consulting frameworks, and curated data sources to help consultants deliver faster, research deeper and think sharper ; across Strategy, M&A, Tech, Ops, Data projects and more. Every output is client-ready. Every finding is sourced and auditable. And the consultant stays in control throughout. Cigno also enables consultancies to go further : embedding their own methodologies, knowledge base and visual identity. Firms can productise their IP, standardise quality across teams, and deliver with consistency at scale. Each firm runs on a dedicated, sovereign instance hosted in Europe. Built with the best: Cigno has been co-designed with 15+ senior partners from BCG, McKinsey, Bain, Credit Suisse and leading European mid-market firms. Our board and advisory network brings together executives with careers spanning Meta AI, BCG, Bain, SonarSource and Swissquote. Our conviction: AI is not enough. Insight, judgment and trust remain — and must remain — profoundly human. We see a new golden age for consulting: not automation, but elevation.
