Our Mission

Founded in 1998, contraco is a boutique consultancy that has guided every wave of digital transformation—from the rise of search engines to the age of AI.

While others chase efficiency, we champion effectiveness. Our mission is simple: to humanize transformation.

For over 27 years, we've helped global brands rethink strategy, redesign culture, and rediscover purpose. We're not just consultants. We're transformation veterans—trusted by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo—and now leading the post-AI era with a bold new stance:

"While others replace humans with AI, we replace AI with humanity."

Our Philosophy

🧠 Psychological Architecture

We redesign mindsets, not just processes. True transformation happens when people feel the change, not just follow it. Our approach creates lasting behavioral shifts that sustain long after implementation.

✨ Felt Experience Design

Every transformation has an emotional journey. We map and design these experiences to ensure lasting change. When people feel transformation happening, adoption becomes natural and sustainable.

🤖 AI Empowers People

We use AI to empower people—not replace them. Technology should amplify human potential, not diminish it. Our approach ensures AI serves human creativity and strategic thinking.

Our Promise

Transformation isn't just a deliverable. It's a felt experience.

If your people don't feel the change, it hasn't happened.

We measure success not just in metrics, but in the human experience of change. When your organization transforms with contraco, every stakeholder—from C-suite to front line—feels the shift. That's transformation you can feel.
