The person behind 12 Floors Consulting.
12 Floors Consulting is founded by Ali Jamili, a senior advisor with more than 16 years of experience bridging finance and technology.
Ali has worked both as an internal specialist and external advisor across some of Denmark's most recognised organisations.
His career spans roles at Aeven, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, e-nettet and others, always at the intersection of finance processes, ERP systems and technology transformation.
Most recently, Ali led the cloud programme at Novo Nordisk, overseeing 23 projects, alongside hybrid cloud engagements at Denmark's Nationalbank and AP Pension.
He holds a Master of Science in Management from Aarhus University and a Bachelor in Economics, giving him a solid foundation in both strategy and numbers.
Ali is a certified Scrum Master and has different certifications in Microsoft ERP & SQL, Financial Reporting and Artificial Intelligence.
His technical expertise covers ERP implementations, Power BI reporting, process automation, Azure DevOps and artificial intelligence.
He has served as system owner for ERP platforms, led GDPR compliance projects and automated finance workflows across entire organisations.
What sets Ali apart is the ability to speak both languages, finance and IT, and translate between them at senior level.
He has worked with organisations ranging from small companies to large enterprise programmes, adapting quickly to what each engagement actually needs.
Ali founded 12 Floors Consulting to bring that senior expertise directly to clients, without layers of account managers or junior staff in between.
Based in Copenhagen, he works with companies across Denmark and internationally.
The name comes from a story told by Carl Icahn.
After taking over a company in New York, Icahn spent days walking floor by floor with a yellow legal pad, trying to understand what people actually did. Nobody could give him a straight answer. He hired a consulting firm for $250,000 to figure it out. They came back weeks later with a thick report and the same conclusion: they had no idea either.
He called an operations leader who knew the business. The advice was simple: get rid of all of them.
So Icahn shut down all 12 floors in a single move. The business kept running perfectly. He later sold the lease on those floors for $10 million.
The lesson stayed with me.
Not because I believe in cutting people, but because I have seen the same pattern in many organisations. Layers of process, reports and meetings that add cost without adding clarity. Decisions that take weeks because no one is close enough to the problem.
12 Floors Consulting exists to be the opposite of that. Senior expertise, applied directly. No unnecessary floors between the problem and the solution.
