We're a small team, but we've spent decades on some of the hardest data problems around - defence, fintech, investment banking, telecoms, document processing, gaming compliance. Different industries, but with the same underlying questions every time: how is this data being used, who controls it, and can you defend how you're handling it?
We started Rivello because we wanted to work with motivated business owners on interesting projects. Since we formed the company in 2022, the need of small and growing businesses for data expertise has only grown. We’re all becoming DIY experts in using AI to get more out of our business data, but the tools and technology are only ever half the story, understanding the business, the risk, and the real-world context is what makes a solution actually work without leaving you exposed.
We work directly with you and your team. The expertise we bring is around the controlled use of data, the same as we've applied throughout our careers, just pragmatically fitted to businesses without a dedicated IT function, or wanting to push the boundaries in their industry.
And to clarify a couple of questions that often get asked: we're not an MSP, and we're not here to manage your IT. We're focused on one thing: the data itself - where it is, who's touching it, and whether you're actually in control of it. And we're not AI consultants helping you deploy new AI agents - we're the data experts AI consultants call in when they need to get the fundamentals right.
Meet the Founders
We founded Rivello to bring our data expertise to businesses that don't usually get access to it, helping business owners and founders do more with their data, protect it properly, and sleep easy knowing they’re compliant.

Founder and CEOCarl started out in systems integration on Royal Navy warships. Since then he's built and led teams turning data challenges into practical solutions: IoT-powered preventative maintenance, blockchain-based account management, data provenance systems, compliance audit infrastructure.
For Carl, it's never just the technology. It's understanding the business, the people, and the context - using data to get organisations operating with more confidence and less risk.

Founder and CTOAndy is a technologist who's spent his career turning complex problems into practical solutions, across a wide enough range of technologies and industries to have a genuinely unusual perspective on how to tackle a data problem others haven't seen before.
He pairs deep technical expertise with a sharp understanding of what regulated industries actually demand, and he's as focused on explaining the trade-offs and real-world impact to clients as he is on solving the problem itself.
