# Tony DiLoreto | AI Risk & Recovery Advisory > For 17 years I watched enterprises create unnecessary risk by moving raw data. I built Spartera to fix it permanently — and I advise when the damage is already in motion. Tony DiLoreto is an independent AI advisor and the Founder & CEO of Spartera. He has 17 years of experience stabilizing AI and data systems in environments where failure creates regulatory exposure, reputational damage, or both. He works at the intersection of deep technical architecture and boardroom-level risk strategy. ## The Origin Every engagement Tony has taken traced back to the same root cause: someone moved raw data when they only needed to move the answer — dashboards, spreadsheets, vendor pipelines, AI agents. Each one a potential liability. He built Spartera around a single conviction: the data never has to move. Only the insight does. ## What Tony Does Tony advises organizations when an AI initiative has stalled, failed, or created unexpected risk. Engagements typically begin when: - An AI vendor has missed critical delivery milestones - An AI initiative has surfaced on the board's risk register - A production ML system is underperforming or exposing data - Leadership needs a defensible path forward before the problem becomes public - An organization needs a Fractional Chief AI Officer or CAISO He works with a small number of organizations at a time on a retained advisory basis. ## Expert Witness & Litigation Support Tony is available to counsel for consulting and testifying engagements in disputes involving AI and machine learning systems. Subject matter includes: - Failed AI implementations and vendor disputes — whether a delivered system met represented specifications - Model behavior and algorithmic decisioning, including disparate outcomes - Data governance adequacy and regulatory exposure - Technical architecture explanation for judges, juries, and arbitrators Conflicts are screened before substantive discussion. Available on a consulting-expert or testifying-expert basis; rates differ by activity type.
