So they hire a prompt engineer who needs someone to tell them what to build. Or they bring in a consultant who delivers a slide deck and disappears. Or they do nothing and watch competitors pull ahead.
The gap isn't technology. It's the person who can connect AI capabilities to business outcomes and actually build the thing.
I spent 13 years at ADP building the systems that most companies hire consultants to recommend. Analytics Centers of Excellence, predictive models that moved $100M+ in business impact, enterprise platforms serving 12,000 users. I know what "at scale" actually means because I've operated at scale.
But here's what changed. After leaving corporate, I didn't just advise. I built. I taught myself to code, went deep on AI and automation, and constructed an operating system that runs two businesses with 19 AI agents, 68 specialized skills, 30+ production workflows, and a knowledge architecture that compounds everything I learn.
That combination is rare. Most executives talk about AI. Most builders lack business context. I sit at the cross-section: I can walk into a leadership meeting, translate AI strategy into a language the C-suite understands, then go build the first working prototype that afternoon.
A prompt engineer needs someone to tell them what to engineer. I'm the person who figures out what to build, why it matters, and then builds it.
I diagnose where AI fits your business before anyone writes a line of code. That means mapping your operations, identifying the highest-ROI opportunities, and building a prioritized roadmap that connects to real business goals, not vendor hype.
I build production systems, not proofs of concept that collect dust. Using n8n, API integrations, and AI agents, I design and deploy workflows that handle the work your team shouldn't be doing manually. 30+ workflows in production across my own businesses.
I build the systems that help organizations make better decisions faster. At ADP, I stood up the first Analytics Center of Excellence with predictive models that identified $211M in at-risk revenue. Today, that means AI-powered scoring models, market intelligence pipelines, and architectures where every insight compounds into the next.
The most valuable resource in your organization is your people. I look for ways to upgrade each individual on your team so they're working with AI, not around it. That includes structured learning paths that take teams from AI-curious to AI-capable, hands-on workshops, and the playbooks that make adoption stick after I leave.
That means 19 specialized agents and 30+ production workflows handling everything from lead gen pipelines to content strategy to market intelligence. Systems that execute while I sleep. A knowledge architecture where everything I learn compounds into the next project. This isn't theoretical. It's running right now.
Ongoing part-time leadership, typically 10 to 20 hours per week. I embed with your team, attend leadership meetings, own the AI roadmap, and build alongside your people. This is the closest thing to having a full-time AI executive without the full-time commitment.
Defined scope, defined deliverables. From strategy assessment through implementation and handoff. You get a working system, documentation, and a team that knows how to run it.
Strategic guidance sessions for teams navigating AI decisions. Bring the hard questions. I'll bring the experience and a direct answer.
