One person, no handoff, in production in 30 days.
I've spent 20 years founding, running and scaling B2B businesses.
I've been building with AI from day one — production systems, in real businesses, replacing real human work.
Now I help CEOs of $5M–$25M businesses ship AI that works.

01
A note on the
market you're in
Most CEOs your size have been pitched the same three options.
A strategy consultant will sell you a deck for $50K and disappear. A contractor will quote you $80K and six months and ship something your team won't use. An internal hire will take twelve months and half a million dollars to find out whether you got the right one.
None of those fit a business your size.
What fits is someone who's run a business your size, ships the system in 30 days, & is here when you're ready for the next one.
02
The first
half-day together
Not with a strategy session. Not with a workshop. But with a Reality Check.
I sit down with you and your team for half a day. We walk through your sales pipeline, your ops workflows, your customer touchpoints, your back-office processes. I'm looking for the places where AI compounds — where 15 hours/week of human work could become 15 minutes, where a workflow that takes three handoffs could take none, where the next hire might not need to be a hire at all.
You walk away with a costed 30-day build plan and a clear answer: this is what we'd build first, and this is what it changes.

By function,
where it compounds
Examples of the kinds of systems I build, by where they sit in your business.
Inbound qualification agent
Captures every inbound lead, runs the discovery questions a senior rep would ask, books qualified meetings directly into the calendar. Saves 8–10 hours/week of SDR time and converts faster.
Intake and triage agent
Replaces the first hour of every client engagement: gathers requirements, classifies the request, routes to the right team member with full context. Cuts intake-to-execution time by 60–80%.
Tier-1 support agent
Handles the 70% of support questions that have known answers. Escalates the rest with full conversation context already attached. Reclaims 20+ hours/week of CS team time.
Content intelligence agent
Pulls from 25+ sources, drafts the weekly newsletter, updates the website, surfaces what's worth saying. Replaces the equivalent of a part-time content hire.
Outbound personalization engine
Researches every account and contact before outbound goes out. Writes opening lines that reference real, specific context. Doubles reply rates without adding headcount.
These are templates, not products. Every build starts from your actual workflows.

A sample
of recent work
A few of the systems I've shipped recently. All live in production. All replacing meaningful human work.
i.
AI GTM operating system — fast-growing 7-figure innovation agency
Runs the full outbound motion as a single orchestrated workflow — ICP definition, list building, copy, sequence shipping, reply handling, signals, and reporting — with hard quality gates at every step so nothing ships that drifts from the brief. Connects directly to Apollo, Instantly, Attio, LinkedIn, and the rest of the outbound stack. Replaces the daily work of a small outbound team.
ii.
AI interviewer for structured candidate screening — talent platform I'm building
Conducts 30–45 minute structured interviews with candidates, evaluating competency, skills, and role fit against a scoring rubric built from the job description and a deep-context interview with the hiring manager. Ingests resumes, matches to requirements, and produces a summary with hiring recommendations. Replaces recruiter screens and first-round phone interviews.
Processing thousands of candidates per month.
iii.
Premium concierge chat agent — luxury concierge travel & events business
Runs the initial discovery conversation, builds a suggested itinerary, produces an initial quote. Replaces the first hour of every senior team member's sales conversation.
iv.
Automated content intelligence agent — large destination resort
Scrapes 25+ sources — events, attractions, dining, local news — produces a fully automated guest content stream, updates the property website, generates the newsletter. Replaces 15–20 hours/week of manual research and content production.
05
Outcomes
not decks
Everything starts with a Reality Check. If there's a real path forward, most clients move straight into a First Build.
A working audit of what you're doing now, where AI compounds, and a costed 30-day build plan. The fastest way to find out if there's a real path forward.
One AI system in production, moving a real needle — turning 15 hours/week of human work into 15 minutes, collapsing a multi-handoff workflow into one, or unlocking something your team couldn't scale. Embedded in your operations, handed off with documentation.
