Yuval Saban

Practice Principal

Yuval leads LEAP's Growth-Stage Corporate Enterprise practice, expanding the firm's go-to-market across AI transformation, private equity technical value creation, and enterprise technology programs. He brings 25 years of experience building and scaling AI practices at firms including Deloitte, IBM, and C3 AI, and partners directly with C-level executives and PE operating partners to move organizations from AI ambition to AI execution. At LEAP, Yuval is responsible for originating client relationships, leading engagements, and scaling the firm's AI and PE capabilities across corporate enterprise and investor-backed environments.

"The market is full of firms that can build an AI demo. The hard part is getting AI into production in a way that is governed, auditable, and durable. That is where the real work is, and that is what I came to LEAP to do."

Background

Yuval Saban is a career AI and technology consulting leader who has built practices, sold large engagements, and led delivery at enterprise scale. At Deloitte, he co-founded the Cognitive and Analytics practice, developing a proprietary text analytics and machine learning platform that generated multi-million dollar professional services contracts across industries. At IBM, he served as Associate Partner in Financial Services, selling and leading large-scale AI implementations for major financial institutions. He subsequently led C3 AI's North America/East Services and Delivery Practice, managing platform deployment and ML/AI application delivery for large enterprises.

Most recently, he spent a year building proprietary assets for agentic AI governance, work that aligns closely with LEAP's Accountability Architecture.
