Zandra Moore has expanded the leadership team at her AI consultancy Zygens a year after stepping down as CEO of Leeds-based tech firm Panintelligence.
Zygens is an agentic AI consultancy that promises to help finance and professional services move from AI ambition to production.
Moore, who was awarded an MBE for her work at Panintelligence and her contributions to gender equality in business, has announced three additions to聽 Zygens鈥� board and founding team.
Charlie Bartle takes on the role as chief operating officer; experienced Tim Lewis is chief technology officer; and Andy Roberts is the new chief marketing officer.
Moore said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to compute how much has changed for me personally and professionally. Stepping away from something I built, starting again, living lean, backing myself quietly and consistently.
鈥淏ut today feels huge. After 25 years growing technology, data and machine learning businesses in the UK, I have never felt more certain about an opportunity or about a team.
鈥淲hen I left Panintelligence, I went head down. No noise. No big announcements. Just building.
鈥淚 started Zygens because I could see what was coming.
鈥淎gentic AI isn鈥檛 hype. It鈥檚 a structural shift in how financial and professional services organisations operate. Strategy, governance, workflow design, value realisation 鈥� all of it needs rethinking.
鈥淪o I built a framework. I tested it. I proved it across FinTech, insurance, mutuals, lending and collections.
鈥淏ut here鈥檚 the truth鈥 don鈥檛 like building alone.
鈥淚f I鈥檝e learned anything, it鈥檚 that the right team changes everything. Today we officially launch Zygens and I could not be prouder of my three co-founders Charlie Bartle, Andy Roberts and Tim Lewis.
鈥淵ou鈥檝e challenged me, backed me, stretched the thinking, and brought energy at exactly the right moment.
鈥淭his is not just another consultancy. This is a mission to help regulated organisations move from AI noise to real operational value safely, commercially and with governance at the core.
鈥淟et鈥檚 build something that scales and lasts.鈥�
Moore co-founded Panintelligence in 2014 with CTO Ken Miller and grew it to 拢3m ARR with 35 staff.
Moore went from being the commercial director to CEO in 2017 and became a massive advocate for women in tech, sitting on the UK government鈥檚 Taskforce for Women Led High Growth Enterprises.
