Stop talking about AI. Start putting it to work.

I partner with CEOs and business leaders to build practical AI systems that solve real problems, accelerate growth, and create lasting competitive advantage by getting smarter and more valuable over time.

One-to-one. Strategy through implementation. Built for your business.

I work with individuals and teams through 1:1 teaching and coaching, data modeling, integrations and implementation. We can start with the questions you haven’t had a place to ask, or with a system you’re ready to build.

Give AI a clear picture of your business.

A useful AI system needs a clear model of your business: what a customer, project or order means, how they relate, and where reliable information lives. Data models organize that information. An ontology makes its shared meaning and relationships explicit, so people and systems can work from the same understanding.

Built with you.

Five questions I’d ask my CTO right now.

Owning your data is only the beginning. The question is whether you’re building a shared understanding of your business that you can use, improve and carry forward as tools change.

  1. Do we control our data, or just have access to it through someone else’s tools?
  2. Do our systems share a clear understanding of our customers, people, work and the relationships between them?
  3. If we changed our AI provider tomorrow, what knowledge and capabilities would we keep?
  4. Can we trace an AI answer or action back to its sources, permissions and accountable owner?
  5. What are we building now that will make our data and knowledge more useful a year from today?

Good systems start with people.

I believe each person’s experience with AI is personal. Leading with empathy and understanding helps people find where AI supports the work they’re best at and where they have the most energy.
