Founded in 2025. Experience since 2009.
The people who design the strategy also write the code.
Our story
Cortex IQ started long before it had a name. In 2009 Rudinei Gehm entered IT through infrastructure and industrial automation. He moved into consulting and development for the financial sector, became a project manager and, from 2017 to 2021, led a Growth Pod with global teams and projects. In 2025 he founded Cortex IQ around a simple idea: AI only matters once it leaves the slide deck and runs inside the operation, with results you can measure.
Mission
Put AI to work inside our clients' operations, with an owner, a deadline and a metric agreed before the first line of code.
Vision
Be the consultancy Brazilian companies call when they need AI running in production, with governance and cost under control.
Cyborg architecture
Humans set the direction. AI handles the complexity. Every Cortex IQ project starts from that division of labor, and RÜNARA, our institutional voice, exists to explain it.
Meet RÜNARAWhat we don't compromise on
Metric before code
Every project starts with the number that has to change. If we can't measure it, we don't understand the problem yet.
No jargon
Every technical term comes with what it changes in your business. If finance didn't follow, the explanation failed.
Humans in control
AI reads, sorts and suggests. The decisions that matter stay with someone on your team.
