About

Operator first. Builder second. Consultant last.

Ricki van Rensburg
Ricki van Rensburg Founder · Sircle

I help operations-heavy businesses embed AI into their day to day. Not strategy theatre. Working software, shipped in 90 days, owned by your team.

I spent 20 years building and running large-scale live operations across 14 countries. LIV Golf, Formula 1, Spartan Race, the Dubai Desert Classic, the Music Run series, festivals, sports venues, field activations. I have spent two decades watching what breaks when operations scale, and what makes them work.

Today I run Sircle, a product studio building four operational SaaS platforms used by clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. I use Anthropic Claude and modern AI tooling daily to ship faster than most traditional dev teams. I have stopped speculating about what AI does for operations and started shipping it.

Now I help other operators do the same. Tightly scoped. Fixed price. Two workflows live in 90 days. If your operation is complex and you need someone who has actually run one, let's talk.
