Damien Clothier
Founder & CEO, Phoenix AI Solutions
Damien founded Phoenix AI Solutions in 2024 after spending over a decade helping mid-market businesses navigate digital transformation. With a background spanning fintech, e-commerce, and professional services, he saw the same pattern everywhere: companies being oversold AI solutions that never shipped, or underserved by vendors who disappeared after the contract was signed.
Phoenix was built on a simple principle: listen first, build fast, prove value before asking for more. Damien leads the company from offices across the UK, Caribbean, and US, working directly with mid-market founders and operators who need AI that actually moves the needle — not slide decks that collect dust.
