AI consulting

Why work with me

For twenty-five years I ran organizations inside large companies, most recently as an AVP at a Fortune 20, where my job depended on whether a strategy worked. Before that I spent five years at a Publicis Groupe agency, leading the team that served Verizon Wireless. I've sat on both sides of the table, as the consultant and as the client who hired them.

That's why I don't start with AI. Nobody adopts email just to have email. They adopt it because it makes something better, and AI is the same. Every engagement starts from what you want to make better, then works out where AI can help, what the people who do the work need, and what it will cost.

And you work with me directly. I know how companies run: the goals, the constraints, the people, the politics and the technology already in place. I also build with AI every day, so the person who sets your strategy can build the first version of it too. There is no hand-off from the partner who sells the work to a junior team that does it.

What I offer

What you get

The biggest payoff is productivity. AI can make a team up to 60 percent more productive, and you decide where that time goes:

• Growth, without adding headcount
• Better quality, with fewer errors and less rework
• Lower costs
• The work that kept getting pushed down the list
• Less burnout and better retention
• Projects that used to cost more than they returned, now in reach because AI lowers the investment

Productivity only sticks when the people doing the work come out ahead too. I design for that, so the gains reach everyone in the system.

You also get a clear plan with a return you can measure, better decisions, more confidence in front of your boss and the board, and lower risk.

What it costs

I post my prices because I don't want to waste your time or mine. If the numbers don't work for you, we'll both know before we start.

When you hire a large firm, you pay for a team: junior people learning on your project, an account executive looking for the next sale, a project manager passing notes back and forth, and partners whose overhead is built into every hour. When you hire me, every hour you pay for is mine. With twenty-five years of experience and AI doing much of the work a team would do, I can get through in an hour what a firm would staff with five people.
