About the Firm
Penny Orange International is the enterprise layer around transformation in the age of AI — combining board- and CIO-level programme leadership, ERP and data depth, and an AI Professional Services Studio built to operate under real conditions, not simply present well in theory.
Co-Founder
Penny Orange sits at the point where enterprise transformation now meets AI delivery — bringing the structure, governance, and leadership required to move from theory into operating reality.
This foundation spans more than three decades of enterprise systems, finance, and transformation work across Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young, and LexisNexis. Today, it extends into the firm’s AI Professional Services Studio — always with the same emphasis: what is deployable, controllable, and sustainable in real enterprise conditions.
Born in Mauritius. Based between London and Atlanta.
Background
Co-Founder
Grace brings a strong financial and operational foundation to Penny Orange International. A qualified accountant (FCCA), she began her career with Deloitte Tohmatsu in Mauritius, working within the offshore sector, before moving to Atlanta where she held a managerial role at TrizecHahn, specialising in property management.
She has also contributed to major international events, including the Atlanta 1996 Centennial Olympic Games and, more recently, the Milan Winter Paralympics, supporting volunteer coordination in multilingual and structured environments.
Her experience combines financial control, asset oversight, and operational discipline — grounding the firm’s work in the practical realities that underpin any successful transformation.
Penny Orange International is being built with the long term in mind. Not only for the work we do today, but for continuity, stewardship, and the next generation that will inherit a world in which AI is no longer novel, but foundational. That perspective shapes how we think, what we build, and the standard we aim to leave behind.

How the Firm Operates
Penny Orange is intentionally small at the core and direct in how it works. Every engagement is led closely by the co-founders, with additional specialist depth brought in only where needed, under a single accountable delivery structure.

The Name
The Penny Orange stamp of 1847 is one of the rarest artefacts in philatelic history. Produced with remarkable precision on the island of Mauritius, only a handful survive in the world. It was not its scarcity that made it extraordinary — it was the care that went into making something so precise, in such a remote place, that has never been forgotten.
The name is not metaphor. It is origin. And it sets the standard we hold ourselves to: work that is rare in its quality, precise in its execution, and built to last well beyond the engagement that produced it.
