About

Eamon Tuhami. Founder. Builder. Advisor.

Hi, I'm Eamon.

X8IQ is a manifestation of everything I love about work. I get to support brilliant people and businesses, internationally, to Accelerate Intelligently.

The philosophy is simple. Combine real-world business connection with intelligent strategies and AI systems. Understand where you are. Where you want to go. The options to get there. Then build the workflows that compress the gap, with you, until you understand them and own them.

I leverage 25+ years of building tech capabilities across global brands, startups, and government. From scaling Experian's consumer division, to founding and exiting my own SaaS at Motivii, to chairing FinalRentals, to advising 100+ founders, to working as a UK Government Dealmaker on the Global Entrepreneur Programme. I've sat in your seat. I know what it feels like to lead a team, build something from nothing, and decide with incomplete information. Inside a corporate or from a kitchen table.

Now I do all of that with AI in the room, daily. Apps, workflows, systems, agents. When I work with you, I'm showing you what I actually do, not theory. One-to-one, with your team, or across your whole organisation. Hands-on. Human-led. Built around your real work.

The point isn't faster AI. It's transformation. Output. Time saved. The opportunities you wouldn't have found alone.
