About

About RebootUp

Senior-led. Operator-run. Singapore, Dubai, Paris.

RebootUp is a boutique advisory firm. We are not a systems integrator, a reseller or a staffing agency: we do not resell software licences and we take no vendor commissions. Every engagement is led by the person you meet.

Damien Kopp

Founder & Managing Director

Damien has spent twenty-five years operating technology, data and AI businesses across Europe, North America and Asia, at Accenture and the Singtel Group before founding RebootUp in Singapore in 2018. He works directly on every engagement, from diligence through to post-close delivery.

He advises boards and executive committees on AI strategy, digital sovereignty and dependency risk, and serves as Fractional CTO to enterprises scaling AI across markets. He holds an EMBA from Kellogg and HKUST.

He teaches as Associate Faculty at Singapore Management University Executive Development, and as guest faculty at Oxford Saïd, ESSEC and INSEAD. He is the author of The Dependency Economy of AI and What Does AI Really Do To Cashflows?, and writes on technology sovereignty at KoncentriK.

What we stand for

AI is too strategic to scale through dependency. We redesign how work flows, reduce lock-in, and build sovereign AI capabilities that increase economic output without loss of control. When we step out, our clients retain full ownership of their architecture, skills and direction.

Sovereignty is not ideological. It is operational.

The firm

Founded 2018, in Singapore

RebootUp Pte Ltd, UEN 201826326C. Registered at 138 Robinson Road #26-01, Oxley Tower, Singapore 068906, and working across Singapore, Dubai and Paris.

Boards and executive teams

We work with CEOs, boards and executive committees in regulated industries and global markets, including KPMG, RSM, Roche, Unilever, Singtel, UOB, NTUC Enterprise and NCS.

Three sequenced modules

Decide in 5–10 days, Design in 4–6 weeks, Adopt in 6–12 weeks. Fixed scope, senior-led, with a 90-day cadence.

Our own intelligence

Engagements run on TEKHORA, our AI stack intelligence platform, and the Digital Resilience Index: eight pillars covering strategic, legal, data, operational, supply chain, technological, security and environmental exposure.

Part of a global ecosystem

Through the Digital Growth Collective, 300+ senior executives across five industries and four regions, we lead AI value-creation work for private equity firms and their portfolio companies.

We step out

No vendor lock-in and no dependency layering. Delivery partners work inside your architecture, not instead of it, and our goal is durable internal capability rather than a standing retainer.
