Working with Southern Sky AI.
Matt Hyde
Technical Director, Seahub - Yacht Maintenance Software
I had the opportunity to work with Kristina from Southern Sky AI on an AI initiative for Seahub Software, where we explored the use of AI to extract and structure data from a diverse range of complex document types.
Suzy Rayment
Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association
Working with Kristina has been a game-changer for the Asia Pacific Superyacht Association (APSA). Engaging her consultancy, Southern Sky AI, was the best investment APSA could have made to modernise its digital presence. Kristina seamlessly overhauled our infrastructure, taking us from the launch of our new website through to a bespoke, customised CRM and highly effective automated member communications.
Amanda Anderson
Training and Development Manager, SeaLink Sydney Harbour
Kristina delivered AI capability training for our team at SeaLink Sydney Harbour, and the impact has been genuinely noticeable in the weeks since.
Maddie Spencer
Operations Manager, AIMEX, Superyacht Australia and ACMG
Kristina from Southern Sky AI has been a fantastic resource for AIMEX/Superyacht Australia in helping us think through how AI can fit sensibly into the way our team actually works, rather than adding complexity for its own sake. She took the time to understand our systems and day-to-day operations before recommending practical, systems-focused guidance that gave us a clearer path to bringing our tools and processes together.
Dr Georgie McClean
Experienced Director in Arts and Media, The Gist
Kristina's brilliant training demystifies AI: from principles to price points, workarounds and workflows.
Lauren Dziepak
Charter Experience Manager, Ocean Alliance
Kristina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She supported our business through a complex API setup and made the entire process feel clear and manageable. She was professional, responsive and incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keep us updated along the way. Her communication was excellent, everything was handled promptly, and we always felt confident that the project was in capable hands. We are extremely grateful for her support and would happily recommend Kristina to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable and genuinely lovely to work with.
Vinay Roy
Fractional AI Strategist | ex-CPO | ex-Nvidia | ex-Apple | UC Berkeley Faculty
One of the most thoughtful, grounded, and professionally relevant AI implementation blueprints I've seen. Kristina brought her full self to this project - her legal and maritime expertise, operational insight, and vision for what's possible with AI resulted in an approach that was both compelling and deeply authentic.
Maritime experience.
A wider horizon.
Southern Sky AI brings together Kristina's work in AI, her background in law and her experience in the maritime industry.
We work with marine and superyacht businesses, and with organisations whose needs connect with the same expertise.
