Peter Henderson, co-founder and chief operating officer at Konsileo, speaks on his firm’s entry to the Excellence in AI category

1. Why did you put yourselves forward for the category?

We entered the Excellence in AI category because our AI-led compliance model fundamentally reimagines how a brokerage can meet FCA requirements, while truly empowering our brokers.

Peter Henderson Konsileo

Instead of replacing people, our technology enhances professional judgement, strengthens oversight and encourages a culture of shared learning.

We believe this thoughtful, values-led use of AI delivers meaningful progress for both Konsileo and the wider industry.

2. What makes your entry stand out and why should you win?

Our model transforms the traditional ‘us versus them’ approach to compliance into an AI-supported, peer-led system that lifts quality, lowers costs and accelerates broker development.

By integrating intelligent file-matching algorithms, early issue detection and a design that reinforces a supportive culture, our application of AI is both distinctive and highly effective.

We demonstrate how AI can simultaneously enhance professionalism, protect clients and enable scalable, sustainable growth.

3. What would winning this award mean to you and your firm?

Winning this award would validate our belief that AI can support the human workforce to deliver higher-quality results, not replace people with cheaper, lower-quality alternatives.

It would recognise Konsileo’s ambitious model and the brokers who contribute to it, showing the industry how AI can enhance compliance by elevating advice quality, improving risk insight and enabling exceptional client outcomes.

This recognition would reinforce our mission to use AI as a tool that empowers brokers to do their best work through collaboration and technology, not automation alone.
