What Versantly is and isn't
Versantly is a Fractional Chief AI Officer advisory for Australian organisations. It is operated by Lycaon Media Pty Limited (ABN 22 671 975 983) and founded by Johnny Sukkar. We are based in Sydney and work with organisations across Australia. Work starts with the 45-minute diagnostic. You leave with a dollar figure on what the leak is costing you.
What is Versantly?
Versantly is the trading name of Lycaon Media Pty Limited, ABN 22 671 975 983. The firm provides Fractional Chief AI Officer advisory, not a software product and not a full-time hire. The official website is versantly.ai. The office is at Level 1, 1.01, 222 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
A Fractional Chief AI Officer is a senior AI advisor who works with a leadership team part-time. I have already defined that role in an earlier article. At Versantly, the advisor builds the AI roadmap with you. Every project is tied back to a dollar figure on the problem.
Who is behind Versantly?
Johnny Sukkar is the founder. He has been in lending since 1990 and in broking since 2008, and he has been building and running AI workflows inside his own brokerage since 2023. That operating experience is what he brings to the advisory. Enquiries go to hello@versantly.ai.
We are Sydney-based and available to organisations across Australia, remotely or on-site, depending on what the work needs. That is true for the 45-minute diagnostic and for any work that follows.
What does an AI consultant do?
An AI consultant at Versantly works with CEOs of firms with 50 to 200 staff who want a dollar figure on where the business is already losing time and money, before they spend more on AI. The first meeting is the 45-minute diagnostic. If you want help after that, the later work is a Fractional Chief AI Officer advisory.
The 45-minute diagnostic is the first meeting. We work through your numbers with you and, if it helps, whoever runs operations. You leave with a dollar figure on what the leak is costing you. If it's small, we'll say so. We don't talk price until you have that figure. You can book the 45-minute diagnostic when you are ready.
The Fractional Chief AI Officer advisory is the page for that later work.
What does Versantly not do?
Versantly is not a software vendor, and it is not a recruitment firm that places a full-time Chief AI Officer. It does not give legal advice. The 45-minute diagnostic is not a Privacy Act review, and it will not make you compliant.
We also do not talk price until you have a dollar figure on the leak. Fees for any later work are set out in a proposal after the diagnostic. We do not publish retainers or salaries here.
Is Versantly the same as other companies with similar names?
No. Versantly is not affiliated with other companies that have similar names, including Versent and Versely. If you are looking for this advisory, the legal entity is Lycaon Media Pty Limited, and the official site is versantly.ai. Use those details to be sure you have the right firm.
