About AIPIVT
AIPIVT is an operator-led applied AI practice, founded in 2026 by Alexey Zolotarev. We work with a small number of clients per quarter to ensure direct founder involvement in every engagement, applying a refined operating playbook to AI transformation.
Our Mission
We exist to transform business processes into AI-first systems that deliver immediate, measurable financial impact. Not in years. In weeks.
Who We Are
AIPIVT is a business transformation partner that combines deep operational expertise with cutting-edge AI implementation. We don't sell technology — we deliver outcomes. Every engagement starts with your P&L and works backward to the processes that need to change.
Our approach is fundamentally different: we focus on the 20% of processes that drive 80% of your costs. By redesigning these critical workflows with AI at their core, we unlock margin expansion that compounds over time. Explore our full range of automation solutions to see how this works in practice.
What Drives Us
We believe every business deserves access to the kind of operational efficiency that AI makes possible. Not just Fortune 500 companies with massive IT budgets — but growing businesses that need every percentage point of margin to compete.
Our founder, Alexey Zolotarev, has personally delivered over $200M in documented cost reductions across 15 years of PE-backed FinTech and high-growth platform work (ESW Capital portfolio, Exness, Deutsche Bank, Pepperstone). AIPIVT applies that same operating playbook — Diagnose → Cut TCO → Ship SaaS → Unlock Revenue → Exit — to AI transformation. Verifiable via azolotarev.com.
Core Principles
Speed
We deploy solutions in weeks, not months. Rapid prototyping, fast iteration, and immediate value delivery. Your first results arrive before most consultants finish their assessment. Read our insight on why speed matters more than perfection in AI deployment.
Financial Impact
Every recommendation ties directly to your bottom line. We quantify expected ROI before we start and track actual results against projections. No vague "digital transformation" promises. Learn about our practical ROI calculation framework.
Practical AI
We implement AI that works in the real world — not in demos. Our solutions handle edge cases, integrate with existing systems, and run reliably at scale without constant oversight.
Our Approach
A five-phase operator playbook, refined across $200M+ in delivered cost reductions and now applied to AI transformation.
1. Diagnose
Map the operating cost base by process. Rank cost drivers by P&L-visible impact. Defend a top three. 2–3 weeks.
2. Cut TCO
Rebuild the top processes AI-first. Ship a reference implementation in production with cost-per-transaction telemetry. 6–12 weeks per workstream.
3. Ship SaaS
Productise internal capabilities other businesses would pay for. Turn cost centres into profit centres. 8–16 weeks to first paying customer.
4. Unlock Revenue
Point AI capabilities outward: faster onboarding, higher conversion, products you could not previously staff. 8–12 weeks, concurrent with Phase 3.
5. Exit
Transfer ownership. Trained team, written playbooks, monitoring dashboards, six-month roadmap. We design every engagement to end. 2–4 weeks.
