Helping Executives Upskill in AI to Future-Proof Companies
Focused on Manufacturing, Engineering, and Life Sciences. How do we do it?

Trainings & Workshops | Executive Business Sessions & Advising | Keynotes & Speaking

CEOs and event organizers hire me and my team when they are ready to move beyond AI hype and implement systems that improve operations, reduce costs, and update their GTM for the age of AI.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Down-to-earth and tool-agnostic: We don't resell software. We’re not incentivized to provide anything for you other than the best fit options for you and your company. We try all the tools ourselves. If an AI solution won't deliver ROI for your operation, we'll say so, then show you what will. 

ROI-focused from Day 1: Workshop attendees leave with step-by-step action items they can execute Monday morning, whether that's streamlining quality control workflows, identifying automation opportunities that impact your P&L, or mapping AI to your go-to-market strategy.

Deep enterprise experience: I’ve got 10+ years working on AI systems, data, and products for startups to Fortune 500 customers. Senior roles at Nuance (acquired by Microsoft for $16B), Netavox, VERSA Agency, and VP of Data and Analytics at OneReach.ai. Don’t let this baby face fool you (vegetables and working out), I have a depth of experience from hands-on time on backends. I was ranked an AI influencer back in 2018, not just after ChatGPT came out.
