What is Lighthouse AI Consulting?

The name Lighthouse Consulting takes its inspiration from the lighthouse that stands on Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland. For over a century, it has guided ships safely through some of the most challenging waters in the North Atlantic.

That's the idea behind Lighthouse AI Consulting. I shine a light on AI and help leaders in life science and lab technology see the best path forward towards adoption. No hype, no confusion, just clear, practical guidance grounded in real scientific understanding.

Based in Ireland and serving clients worldwide, Lighthouse AI Consulting brings deep domain expertise to every engagement, whether you're across the road or across the ocean.

Colm O'Regan

Meet Colm O'Regan

I'm a former research scientist with a B.Sc. and Ph.D. in chemistry and materials science, and over 10 years working in science labs. I've used the instruments, run the experiments, and sat through the purchasing decisions, so I know the world your buyers live in.

Since 2015, I've been writing and strategising for major life science brands including Hitachi High-Tech, Thermo Fisher, Zeiss, and Leica Microsystems. Now I help life science companies adopt AI with confidence, building workflows, training teams, and designing strategies rooted in real scientific understanding.

That combination of lab credibility, marketing experience, and AI expertise is rare. With me, you get someone who won't need a briefing on your science, and who can translate that into AI systems your team will actually trust and use.

Frequently asked questions

Who do you typically work with?
Marketing directors, commercial leaders, and sales teams at life science, lab technology, and instrumentation companies, from microscopy and analytical instruments to diagnostics and biopharma tools. If your buyers are scientists, I speak their language.
What makes you different from a generic AI consultancy?
A PhD in chemistry, a decade of lab research, and 10+ years writing for brands like Hitachi High-Tech, Thermo Fisher, and Zeiss. I don't need a briefing on your science. That means faster implementation, fewer errors, and workflows your technical reviewers will actually trust.
Will AI produce scientifically accurate content for our market?
Not out of the box, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling hype. My approach builds in domain-specific guardrails, review checkpoints, and prompt architectures designed for regulated technical content. Accuracy isn't optional; it's the starting point.
How do you handle compliance and regulatory concerns?
Every engagement includes a governance review tailored to your sector. I design workflows that keep humans in the loop at critical checkpoints and ensure AI outputs meet your internal review standards before anything goes public.
What does a typical engagement look like?
It depends on where you are. Some teams start with a workshop to get immediate wins. Others need a full roadmap and automation build. We'll scope it together on a discovery call, no cookie-cutter packages.
Do you work with companies outside life science?
My sweet spot is life science, lab technology, and instrumentation. If your business sits at the intersection of complex science and commercial marketing, there's a good chance I can help. Let's talk.
How do I get started?
