Caribbean Technology Leadership at Felaris Global

Felaris Global operates its Caribbean base at Invaders Bay Tower in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, serving clients across CARICOM with AI business services, including AI readiness assessments, cybersecurity, and ERP assessment. The practice brings senior, operator-led technology and interim CIO leadership to a region that has historically lacked this expertise on a part-time or fixed-term basis.

Interim CIO leadership, alongside CTO, CISO, and CAIO roles, brings a senior executive into your organization for three to twelve months. This individual manages the function, reporting directly to the CEO or board, and ensures a smooth transfer of capabilities to your internal team before departure. Currently, no comparable offering exists in the region. 

Felaris provides essential AI business services, laying the groundwork for safe and effective AI implementation through thorough data, process, and governance work. We communicate in straightforward language that matches how your institution operates, rather than the jargon typically found in vendor brochures. 

Our AI readiness assessments offer a structured review across five areas: data, process, technology, people, and governance. The result is a comprehensive written assessment detailing the necessary steps, their sequence, and associated costs. 

We also specialize in ERP assessment and recovery for organizations struggling with ineffective ERP systems. Felaris identifies issues and oversees the necessary corrections. 

For those seeking cybersecurity solutions, we provide senior leadership in cybersecurity and IT operations to help organizations meet escalating regulatory expectations while safeguarding their customers, data, and reputation.

The Caribbean practice is designed to work alongside the institutions shaping the region's digital and AI future through innovative AI business services. This initiative connects directly to the MPAAI agenda, the EU digital transformation grant programme, UNESCO's AI readiness assessments in the Caribbean, and incorporates the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago's cybersecurity solutions and guidance. The Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago oversees the telecommunications sector to ensure compliance with emerging standards.

Felaris principals have provided insights on AI governance at the United Nations level and operate within the regulatory frameworks that the region is now choosing to implement, including ERP assessment and interim CIO leadership strategies.

Banks, insurers, energy operators, manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, and growing companies across the region benefit from AI business services. Felaris is particularly suited for organizations that require interim CIO leadership, especially when senior technology leadership is essential but a permanent CIO, CISO, or CAIO is not yet a suitable investment. Our offerings include AI readiness assessments, tailored cybersecurity solutions, and comprehensive ERP assessments to ensure that these companies can thrive in an evolving digital landscape.

An engagement begins with a conversation. We listen to what the organization needs, what is already in place, and what has been tried before, including any AI readiness assessments to gauge your technological capabilities. We propose a tailored scope and a timeline that matches your business objectives. We commit to the dates we specify and embed ourselves with your team, ensuring a seamless integration of our AI business services. Our focus is on transferring capability before we leave, so you can effectively leverage our insights, whether it's for cybersecurity solutions or conducting an ERP assessment. 

We do not produce decks and disappear. We do not bring junior consultants. We do not use language designed to make simple things sound complex. Instead, we emphasize clear communication and provide interim CIO leadership, ensuring your organization is well-prepared for the next steps.
