Christian Adib began his career in management consulting at Booz Allen Hamilton and the Boston Consulting Group, where, as a senior data scientist, he led forward-deployed teams — embedding engineers alongside client operators rather than handing over slideware. He then joined a hedge fund, where, as part of a small team managing a $2B portfolio, he drove quantitative research and built products from scratch.

An engineer by training, Christian went on to complete MIT's Leaders for Global Operations program, earning an MBA alongside a master's in engineering. He founded Fulkerson Advisors to close the gap he kept seeing between AI's promise and what survives contact with production — building the firm around one conviction: that the people who scope an initiative should be the ones who ship it.

He works most closely with executives dragging AI from pilot to production, where his blend of consulting rigor, financial discipline, and engineering depth turns boardroom ambition into systems that actually run.

Bilal Bitar has spent his career at the meeting point of finance, strategy, and large-scale transformation. He began in management consulting at McKinsey & Company before moving into investment banking, where he structured and raised development finance — channeling capital from European institutions including the European Investment Bank, DEG, PROPARCO, and Finnfund into energy infrastructure.

That grounding in capital markets and operational strategy anchors his advisory work today. He has led enterprise-wide transformation programs for organizations across banking, retail, and technology — aligning leadership teams and rebuilding the processes beneath them — and is fluent in the financial-modeling and value-creation frameworks that decide whether a transformation actually pays for itself.

A graduate of INSEAD, Bilal partners with clients on the parts of an AI program that have nothing to do with models — organizational alignment, change management, the business case — and everything to do with whether the work lands.

As Chief Operating Officer, Cynthia Hajal turns Fulkerson's technical work into something organizations can actually run. She pairs a systems engineer's instinct for how complex things fit together with the operational discipline to make them dependable — the difference between an AI capability that demos well and one that holds up as a process the business leans on every day.

Her strength is the translation layer: taking ambitious, technically intricate initiatives and reducing them to scalable operating frameworks, clear ownership, and the instrumentation that lets a client watch value compound. She leads the work of bridging what the technology can do with what the business actually needs — keeping engagements aligned, measurable, and moving.
