About Us

APLYD helps governments, multilateral institutions, development finance institutions and foundations use AI in public systems. Most public-sector AI stops at the pilot. Our work is getting it into everyday service delivery and keeping it running once we leave.

Athena Infonomics has done this work for years. In 2026 we set it up as its own company. We cover strategy and readiness, field data and last-mile reach, design and build, evaluation and audit, and scale and production.

The Role

This is one seat with two mandates.



You own APLYD's DPI and Digital Governance domain across every market we work in: what it offers, who it serves, how it is priced and whether the work is any valuable. You also hold the ICDIA engagement, where you are APLYD's principal counterpart to the ICDIA Chief Executive, you direct three functional leads and a commissioned network, and you own delivery against the milestone schedule.

The domain has no revenue yet. The ICDIA engagement is the first substantial piece of it, and building the rest is the other half of the job.

You carry a revenue target, and part of your pay is linked to the revenue you originate. Origination credit starts from the first contract you close, the rate increases once you pass target, and there is no cap. In your first year, qualified opportunities you originated that have reached contracting are also credited, because institutional procurement often takes longer than a financial year.
