Projects
The right technology, intelligently applied, is the most powerful lever for business growth. Too often companies are constrained by rigid software that forces teams to adapt to tool limits. We exist to invert that relationship.
Founded in London in 2004 and headquartered in Dubai since 2021, Nixxie International has evolved from a digital engineering firm into a specialist AI solutions company.
Engagements across fintech, logistics, real estate, e-commerce, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS — from scale-ups to teams at Yahoo and eDesk. Real-world complexity, not theoretical frameworks.
The practice
An AI engineering practice with two homes and one standard.
We opened our first studio in London in 2004 — a small group of engineers building software for clients who needed it to actually work. Twenty-one years later we are forty-eight people across two studios, organised into three practices: AI & Intelligence, Product Engineering, and Strategy. Every engagement is led by a partner.

Leadership
Senior practitioners. No middlemen.
Julian R. Mountford
Founder & Chairman
Dubai
Undefeated on the golf course. Liverpool red through and through. Happy to let AI handle everything else — and partial to cats, but only the calm ones.
Graham Head
CEO
London
Watford FC loyalist and a systems engineer at heart. Does his best work at 35,000 feet — on the cloud, from the clouds. At least until turbulence files a bug report.
Our values
The four principles behind every engagement.
Partnership over projects
Long-term collaboration built on trust, transparency, and shared ambition. We work as a genuine extension of your team — not a vendor you manage, but a partner invested in your outcomes.
Pragmatic innovation
We embrace AI and emerging technology with rigour, not hype. Every technology decision is anchored in a clear business case. We tell you when a simpler solution is the right one.
Absolute ownership
When we take on a project, we take on your problem as our own. We do not pass the buck or deliver work we are not proud of.
Security & responsibility by design
We build AI systems with rigorous security controls, explainability principles, and responsible deployment practices. Trustworthy AI is an engineering requirement, not an extra.
