Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer at Premium Group.

Most businesses are noisy.

Meetings, messages, activity everywhere.

But here’s the real question:

Are your people’s actions actually driving profit?

Without the right systems, data, and AI in place, most leaders are flying blind. They feel busy, but they can’t clearly see what’s working, what’s leaking margin, or where to focus next.

That’s where I come in.

I’m not a software vendor. I’m your systems and AI partner.

With 25+ years working with service-based businesses, I help organisations design and implement practical AI, automation, and reporting frameworks that turn activity into insight and insight into action.

The result is absolute clarity on profitability, performance, and priorities.

When your systems are configured properly:

→ Leaders get real answers, not gut feel
→ Teams know what matters without being micromanaged
→ Hybrid and remote work become easier to manage, not harder
→ Clients and customers experience faster, cleaner, more consistent service

I care deeply about experience at every level.

Staff, customers, candidates, and clients should never be guessing what’s happening. Every touchpoint should be intentional, measurable, and optimised.

My vision is simple:

People, process, and technology working together to create leverage, efficiency, and profit.

If you want your systems to become a competitive advantage rather than a cost centre, let’s talk.

Anthony McCallum is a Certified AI Coach and Founder of Leveragentic.AI, a strategic AI advisory practice helping mid-market leaders across Australia and the Middle East turn AI ambition into measurable enterprise value.

With 22 years of enterprise operating experience — including managing a $200M P&L at Optus and leading transformation programs like Project Jaguar (fulfilment cycles cut from 90 to 19 days, on-time delivery lifted from 50% to 85%) — Anthony brings the operational credibility that leadership teams and PE operating partners demand.

Through Leveragentic.AI, Anthony works with firms of 300–2,000 employees to close the gap between AI ambition and AI-enabled execution. His five-stage methodology — Diagnose, Design, Deploy, Compound, Scale — is grounded in the frameworks from Untangling AI (Wiley, 2026), applied through hands-on embedded advisory as a fractional Chief AI Officer.

What sets the practice apart is its focus on enterprise value, not just efficiency. Anthony quantifies the productivity gains AI delivers — what Leveragentic calls the Agentic Dividend — and translates them into EBITDA impact and valuation uplift. For PE portfolio companies, that means a disciplined AI playbook that creates permanent structural value and commands premium multiples at exit.

Engagements range from AI Strategy Diagnostics and Agentic Roadmap Workshops through to 12-month fractional CAIO retainers, where Anthony embeds with leadership to drive execution from boardroom to front line.

Systems & Capital. SM∆RT. STR∆TEGIC. HUM∆N. I help leaders structure systems and capital to buy back time, scale their business, increase enterprise value, and do more of what they actually want in life.

When you strip it back, a business is just a stack of systems and capital, so my goal is to help you make it as efficient as possible.

I don’t wear suits. I wear boardshorts. I don’t sell theory. I focus on what actually gets done.

How I operate

I work across three layers, depending on where a business is in its journey.

STOKIN Advisory | Decision Clarity → Founder and AI Systems Advisor. This is the advisory layer. I help leaders cut through complexity, sequence decisions, and design systems that buy back time and increase valuation.

∆USCOM | Capital → Founder and Commercial Finance Specialist. We treat capital as fuel, not debt. I structure commercial lending and acquisition finance to expand fleets, acquire competitors, and scale assets with intent.

My Business HQ | Foundation → For smaller or earlier-stage businesses, this is where operators build their foundation using proven frameworks, practical systems, and hands-on implementation support.

How I think

Everything is filtered through my PE∆K™ framework: PL∆N · EDUC∆TE · ∆CTION · KEEP

Technology should reduce friction, not create it. And success that costs your health or your family is failure.

HE∆LTH + WE∆LTH = H∆PPINESS

Who this is for

If you run a business with real staff, real pressure, and real decisions to make, we’ll get along just fine.

📍 Consulting Globally

I help organisations move from AI curiosity to AI capability, safely and practically, at scale. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, operations, governance, and artificial intelligence. I partner with executive teams and business owners who want AI to deliver real operational leverage, not experimentation theatre, vendor hype, or disconnected tools.

I work best with:

• CEOs, founders, and executive teams under pressure to “do something with AI”
• Operations-heavy and service-based businesses
• Regulated or risk-exposed environments (finance, property, health, government)
• Organisations seeking AI that reduces load, improves decisions, and strengthens execution

Most AI advisors come from technology backgrounds. I come from command, operations, governance, and delivery.

Across a 26-year career in Defence and international operations, I was accountable for mission-critical decisions, high-risk environments, workforce capability, and systems that had to work every time. That experience shapes my approach to AI:

• Outcome-driven, not tool-driven
• Risk-aware, not fear-based
• Human-centred, not tech-obsessed

I instinctively ask, “What happens when this system fails under pressure?”

I help organisations:

• Design AI strategies grounded in business reality
• Build executive-level AI literacy and decision confidence
• Embed AI into real operational workflows
• Automate administrative and decision-support processes
• Establish AI governance, risk, and ethical guardrails

Alongside my operational background, I bring deep expertise in adult learning, training, and assessment across leadership, business, and governance domains. AI adoption challenges are rarely technical; they are cognitive and cultural. I treat AI with the same seriousness as finance, safety, and operational risk.

AI is not a technology problem. It is a leadership, decision-making, and execution challenge.

I help organisations meet that challenge with clarity, confidence, and control.

AI Strategist & Certified AI Coach helping leaders turn AI into real business leverage. I help organisations move beyond AI experimentation and turn AI into measurable business outcomes—by designing and delivering AI automation and AI agent systems that streamline operations, sharpen decision-making, and expand team capacity.

Through Keystone AI Group (https://keystoneaigroup.com/), I advise CEOs, operators, and private-equity-backed leadership teams on AI readiness, use-case prioritisation, and disciplined execution, aligning strategy, people, processes, and technology so AI actually compounds value instead of creating noise.

With 19+ years of experience across enterprise, regulated industries, and growth-stage organisations—and a background in cloud platforms, DevSecOps, and enterprise information security—I bring a practical, risk-aware lens to AI adoption, helping leaders deploy AI systems that scale responsibly.

Over nearly two decades of transformation work, I’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly: most companies don’t have an AI problem—they have a decision, ownership, and execution friction problem.

My work focuses on removing that friction and building AI-powered foundations that deliver both performance and clarity.

🧠 What I bring to the table:

🧭 Strategic AI planning with execution accountability

⚙️ AI automation & agent systems that protect time, margins, and decision quality

👔 Fractional AI leadership for founders and PE-backed growth teams 🤝 Embedded delivery partners to move from strategy to operating reality

📍 Based in Australia | Working globally

If you’re exploring AI adoption with real ROI, looking to operationalise AI responsibly, or want your organisation to run smoother—not just faster—let’s connect.

I work with senior leaders to move AI from experimentation to accountable execution.

Over the last decade, I’ve helped enterprises design and operationalize AI and Data Science capabilities that stand up to real-world scrutiny.

My work typically focuses on: • Translating business and governance questions into AI decision systems • Designing AI operating models across strategy, people, and technology • Embedding accountability, traceability, and control into AI at scale • Coaching executive teams on ownership, not just adoption

I’ve led and advised AI initiatives across real estate, financial services, consumer products, and technology-led organizations, working closely with CEOs, COOs, CFOs, HR leaders, and boards.

My approach combines: • Strategic clarity • Practical execution • And systems thinking grounded in how organizations actually operate

I help organisations transform how they operate by integrating AI, automation, and modern digital capabilities into core business processes. I focus on helping my clients identify high value opportunities, designing practical AI driven solutions, and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and customer experience. With a background in complex enterprise delivery, I bring a structured, outcome focused approach to AI adoption. I deliver automation programs that are aligned to business goals, scalable across teams, and supported by strong change management. I partner with leaders to move beyond experimentation and deploy AI that produces tangible, repeatable benefits.

The Gap Between AI Adoption and AI Revenue Is Where I Work

84% of GCC companies have adopted AI. Only 31% have scaled beyond pilots. That gap is costing millions. I close it.

I'm Shabahat Bokhari — I help enterprise leaders stop piloting and start profiting from AI.

Why Leaders Trust Me

29+ years on the frontlines: Multi-million $ largest Cisco deal in Pakistan, $200M+ partner ecosystems across GCC, $25M+ pipeline at IBM, quadrupled Fortinet's regional revenue in 2 years, and defined the cloud strategy behind $500M in UAE healthcare projects. This isn't theory — it's decades of closing deals and driving transformation at CXO level.

What I Do For You

I partner with CEOs and business leaders to turn AI into measurable advantage:

→ Diagnose your readiness across Strategy, Execution, People & Technology using the AI Sweet Spot Framework™

→ Build the business case with real value-impact numbers your board will approve

→ Implement systematically through the DDDEEE Framework™ — from first automation to full-scale rollout

→ Upskill your teams in hands-on workshops where they build working AI agents the same day

My Philosophy: Amplified Intelligence

I don't replace your workforce with AI — I amplify it. Human intuition meets AI processing power. Scale output, not headcount.

Industries & Markets: Finance, Healthcare, Telecom, Public Sector, SaaS — across GCC, Pakistan, Canada & Southeast Asia.

Whether it's a one-day workshop, Fractional Chief AI Officer engagement, or full AI roadmap — I bring one discipline: understand the business, build the case, execute relentlessly.
