Seven senior operators across AI, mobile, web, and design. A bet that the right small team with the right modern leverage can outrun a 50-person consultancy. And a few paying clients already proving it.
The enterprise AI consulting market is broken. Fortune 500 companies pay McKinsey or Deloitte six-figure fees for PowerPoint decks that never turn into code. Mid-sized companies — the ones who need AI most — get ignored or over-quoted.
Meanwhile, the tooling gap has closed. A small team with modern AI leverage can now ship what used to require an army. The question isn't whether that's possible — it's who'll be first to do it rigorously for enterprise clients.
"We're the team that ships production AI systems at 40–50% the cost of Big 4 agencies — and we can prove it with numbers, not slides."
Next Enterprise was founded in 2026 as an answer to a specific gap: banks, retailers, and ambitious mid-caps across Southeast Europe and beyond who need real AI — not demos, not pilots, not keynote theater.
We started in Prishtina, Kosovo. We work globally. Our clients range from top-3 regional banks to Albanian diaspora businesses across Europe and the US, to venture-backed SaaS companies in Silicon Valley who need vertical AI capability faster than they can hire for it.
No juniors pretending to be seniors. No account managers between you and the builders. When you hire Next Enterprise, you get direct access to the people actually shipping your work.
AI Strategy & Systems Architecture
12 years across enterprise software and applied ML. Previously led personalization and recommendation systems at a global travel platform, then ran AI strategy at a regional fintech before returning home to start Next Enterprise.
Arben leads client engagements end-to-end — discovery, architecture, and the technical proposals he writes himself. He's the reason engagements are scoped honestly and delivered without surprises.
Delivery & Client Success
10 years scaling operations across venture-backed startups in Europe. Previously led delivery at a top-tier digital consultancy in Vienna and operations at a fast-growing marketplace expanding into Eastern Europe.
Donika owns the orchestration — timelines, stakeholder alignment, cross-functional coordination, and the hundred small things that make a 12-week engagement actually ship on time and on scope.
Model Architecture & Computer Vision
PhD in Machine Learning from ETH Zürich. Published research in vision-language models. Five years shipping production ML at a Zurich-based AI lab where the systems she built served hundreds of millions of users.
Liridona owns the deep technical work — the parts that aren't replaceable by a prompt template. Model selection, fine-tuning, evaluation, and the production rigor that turns a notebook into a system.
Production Systems & Infrastructure
11 years building distributed systems at scale. Senior engineer at a New York-based observability company, then staff engineer at a global payments infrastructure firm before joining Next Enterprise as VP Engineering.
Driton owns production excellence — uptime, performance, security, observability, and the boring 1% of the work that nobody markets but every enterprise client checks before signing.
iOS & Android · Native Apps at Scale
13 years in mobile engineering. Led iOS platform work at a global streaming service shipping to 30M+ devices, then ran Android growth engineering at a travel booking unicorn before joining Next Enterprise to own mobile end-to-end.
Erion drives both platforms — Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android, and the cross-platform decisions that determine whether you ship a great app twice or a mediocre app once. The decade of native instincts that takes a decade to develop.
Product Design & Design Systems
11 years designing product surfaces for SaaS, fintech, and consumer platforms. Previously product designer at a payments infrastructure company in San Francisco, then design lead at a developer-tools company in Berlin where the design system she built powered every product surface for four years.
Vlora owns the design layer across every engagement — research, visual, and the systems work that makes the third feature ship faster than the first. Beautiful is the easy part; durable is the work.
Web Platforms & API Architecture
12 years building web platforms at scale. Previously senior engineer at a monitoring & observability company in New York, then staff engineer at a frontend-framework company shipping to millions of developers. Joined Next Enterprise to lead full-stack engagements across SaaS, marketplaces, and B2B platforms.
Granit owns the web side: Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, architecture decisions that determine whether your platform survives the first ten thousand users and the ten millionth without a rewrite.
We sell outcomes, not decks. Every engagement ends with production code or a board-ready decision — not a PDF in a shared drive.
If AI isn't the right answer, we say so. If your plan has a hole, we point at it. Clients hire us for judgment, not agreement.
Code, IP, documentation — all yours. Model-agnostic, cloud-agnostic. If we're the right partner, we earn that every quarter. Not by contract.
No hourly billing surprises. Engagements are scoped with deliverables and priced up front. Scope changes become transparent change orders.
We stay lean on purpose. Every engagement gets senior attention. If we scale, it won't be by hiring juniors — it'll be by compound leverage.
"The best consultancy is the one that makes itself slightly unnecessary — because the client has the system, the knowledge, and the judgment to run it."
— Arben Krasniqi, Founder
We're new as Next Enterprise. But the seven operators behind it have shipped production software for 75+ combined years across AI, mobile, web, and design — and the opportunity pipeline is live.
