Advisory
Plenty of people can tell you AI is important. The harder, more useful work is deciding where it earns its keep in your business — and then building the product, team, and discipline to deliver it. That is the work.
01
Cut through the hype to find where AI actually creates value in your business — then sequence a roadmap you can fund and defend.
A grounded assessment of where AI can move real metrics for your business, weighed against cost, risk, and readiness. The output is a prioritized, fundable roadmap — not a list of experiments — with a clear view of build-vs-buy and the data and platform work each opportunity depends on.
02
Most AI never ships. Bring product rigor, evaluation, and delivery discipline to move from promising demo to reliable, in-market product.
The gap between an impressive demo and a dependable product is where most AI initiatives stall. This work brings product management, evaluation and testing, and delivery discipline to close it — defining what "good" means, measuring it honestly, and shipping something customers can rely on.
03
Fractional and advisory leadership for product and technology orgs — operating models, teams, and the practices that make delivery repeatable.
Hands-on help for leaders: operating models, team design, roadmaps, and the engineering and product practices that make delivery repeatable rather than heroic. Available as fractional leadership or focused advisory, drawing on experience running product and engineering as a CTO and Head of Product.
04
Independent technical and product diligence for investors and boards evaluating AI-enabled businesses and build-vs-buy decisions.
Independent, plain-spoken assessment for investors, boards, and executives: how real is the technology, how sound is the product and team, and what would it take to deliver on the plan. Useful for diligence on AI-enabled businesses and for major build-vs-buy and platform decisions.
How engagements work
Ongoing counsel for founders and executives — a steady sounding board on strategy, roadmap, and the hard technology calls, on a monthly cadence.
Hands-on product or technology leadership for a defined stretch — standing up a function, steadying a team, or driving a critical initiative to delivery.
A scoped project with a clear deliverable: an AI opportunity assessment, a diligence report, a roadmap, or a get-to-production plan for a stalled initiative.
A working session for your team to pressure-test an AI idea, align on priorities, or build shared literacy — grounded in what actually ships, not slideware.
The best first step is a short conversation about where you are and what you’re weighing. No pitch deck required.
