Roebling Strauss and Sakura Sky Form Strategic Partnership, Launch AI Executive Whitepaper

SAN FRANCISCO - Jan. 14, 2026 - PRLog -- Roebling Strauss and Sakura Sky Form Strategic Partnership, Launch AI Executive Accelerator, and Joint White Paper

Roebling Strauss, Inc., the business transition and process innovation consultancy, and Sakura Sky, the global cloud, data, AI, and cybersecurity specialist, today announced a strategic go-to-market partnership to help enterprises turn AI ambition into measurable business impact.

Joint Statement – Why This Partnership Matters

Most enterprise AI programs today hit the same wall: technical teams build sophisticated solutions that executives don't fully understand or trust, while leadership teams set ambitious strategies that technical teams can't realistically deliver. The result is stalled budgets, fractured buy-in, and another 70% failure rate. Over the next five years, AI will not just optimize existing processes—it will reshape entire business models. Companies that cannot fuse deep executive alignment with genuine technical execution will simply not survive that shift. This partnership between Roebling Strauss and Sakura Sky closes that exact gap: Bill Sanders brings the proven ability to get an entire C-suite moving as one unit with a shared definition of value, while Olivia Storelli and Andrew Stevens provide the strategic technical authority - backed by deep hands-on expertise -to design, secure, and govern the complex AI foundations that make those strategies a reality. The ROI becomes visible early—through faster time-to-first-use-case, lower total cost of ownership from building the right foundation once, and higher sustained returns because every initiative is owned by the P&L leaders who approved it. Together, we give leadership teams something the market currently lacks: a single, trusted partnership that starts with executive clarity and ends with working technology that actually moves the numbers that matter.

The partnership launches with two tightly integrated offerings:

1. The AI Executive Playbook
   A new co-authored white paper that gives C-suite leaders and technical teams one clear, practical guide covering every decision required for enterprise AI success: vision, use cases, data readiness, governance, security, compliance, culture, sequencing, and ROI.
   
   
2. AI Executive Accelerator
   A private two-day intensive personally led by Bill Sanders (Principal & Managing Director, Roebling Strauss), Olivia Storelli (Co-founder & Managing Director, Sakura Sky), and Andrew Stevens (Co-founder & CTO,  Sakura Sky). Leadership teams leave with a fully aligned 24-month roadmap and a 90-day execution plan signed by the entire C-suite.
   
   

Bill Sanders, Principal at Roebling Strauss:
"We've spent over 20 years turning strategy into results for clients like Google, Microsoft, PepsiCo, and General Mills. Partnering with Olivia and Andrew at Sakura Sky finally combines the executive alignment we're known for with the technical delivery enterprises actually need."

Olivia Storelli and Andrew Stevens, Sakura Sky:
"AI represents a fundamental organizational transformation. We see too many organizations fail because they treat it as a vendor delivery task rather than a core business shift. We collaborated on this framework because technical architecture and business strategy are now inseparable. The Playbook is designed for executives who want to move beyond 'shiny object' experiments and drive real P&L impact. This partnership allows us to serve as the technical conscience in the boardroom, ensuring that executive vision is built on a foundation of secure, governed, and scalable."

The white paper is available now for complimentary download. The AI Executive Accelerator is open for private bookings worldwide.
