AI consultant

I’ve spent my career organizing information for businesses. AI is just the newest place that work happens.

If your business is drowning in tools and short on clarity, I can help.

Get clear first

I built Team Blueprint so you could see, in a few minutes, where AI would actually help your business, not just where you assumed it would. It’s step one. Answer a short set of questions and get a real read on what’s worth building, and in what order.

Already clear? Come to me directly.

If you already know you want someone to build this out and run it, you don’t need to start with the tool. Tell me what you’re working with, and we’ll start there.

What working with me looks like

I run the build myself, the way a senior fractional lead would, not the way a firm hands it off to a junior team. I map how your business runs, design the system, wire it in, and stay close as things change. You get someone who thinks like a designer, runs it like an operator, and stays in the room for as long as the work needs it.

Not a Fractional AI Officer

A Fractional AI Officer is usually a governance hire, someone who sets policy and reports up. That’s a different job than mine. I’m closer to a fractional systems lead. I build, wire the handoffs, test it against how your team actually works, and keep refining it as things shift. You get a senior person in the room, without hiring one full time and without adding a layer of oversight you didn’t ask for.

How it works

Map

This is where most of my work starts. Before anyone buys a tool or builds a bot, I map how your business actually runs, where the information lives, where it gets stuck, and which handful of AI roles would take the most off your plate. You walk away knowing exactly what to build and in what order, instead of a pile of subscriptions and a vague hope that it all connects.

Build

A plan you can’t execute is just an expensive PDF. I run the build myself, the way a fractional project lead would, designing the system, wiring the pieces together, testing it against how your team really works, and handing you something that actually runs. You get a senior person in the room without hiring one full time.

Stay

Your business doesn’t hold still, so your systems shouldn’t either. On a retainer I stay close as things shift, refining what’s built, adding the next role when you’re ready, and keeping you a step ahead instead of scrambling to catch up. It’s the difference between a system you own and a system that quietly owns you.

Who this is for

Owners and leaders who know something needs to change, who are done duct-taping tools together, and who want a real person, not a template, to figure out what’s actually right for them.

What do you wish you had more time for?

Contact

What’s taking
up too much of
your time?

The fastest way to reach me is a real email to a real person. Tell me what’s going on, what you’re trying to build, or what’s been nagging at you about AI and your business, and I’ll write back.

One social link, on purpose.

If you’d rather start with the map, explore Team Blueprint first.
