AI Consulting for Traditional Industries
I help mid-market companies ($50M-$500M revenue) build enterprise AI capabilities without the FAANG price tag or startup risk.
My positioning: I built a full enterprise AI team from zero in 2.5 years—I know what works when you don’t have unlimited budget or technical talent.
