Work with Ashley
About
I help leaders and teams turn AI from something they keep meaning to figure out into workflows they actually use every week. I'm the founder and CEO of The Alliance, an enterprise AI advisory and implementation firm, and the author of The AI Workweek (Wiley). I have trained more than 2,500 professionals at companies like Microsoft, Visa, Abbott, ResMed, HP and Unilever, and I have guest lectured at MIT. I coach in three areas. First, AI strategy and roadmaps that tie back to real revenue and time savings. Second, hands on workflow builds with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, n8n and Zapier, with no code required. Third, career moves into AI, including how to position your AI experience for leadership, consulting and enterprise AI roles. Working with me is practical and direct. We start with your actual week, find where the hours are going, and end each session with something built or decided. I keep it simple, I tell you the truth, and you walk away with workflows you can use the same day.

Ashley’s Build with AI Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
I have been building AI workflows inside enterprise teams since 2020, and I'm a credentialed Claude Partner who has vetted and built with more than 500 AI tools. At The Alliance, my team has shipped 12 AI projects to production, including an AI procurement validation system across 22 ERP instances that delivers $2M+ in annual cost avoidance and a multi-agent campaign workspace that cut prep cycles by 68%. Clients include Microsoft, Visa, Abbott, ResMed, Unilever and Snowflake. I also teach this for a living. On Maven I built and lead Building a Business with AI, where I've mentored 1,400+ founders and operators through prototyping, agent deployment and automation, and I taught enterprise AI as Executive Faculty in Section's AI for Business Mini-MBA. My book, The AI Workweek (Wiley), is a practical guide to designing agentic workflows. Whether you're non-technical or already building, we'll leave every session with something working in Claude, n8n, Zapier or Claude Code.

Why do I coach?
When my son was born I had zero maternity leave and an 80 hour work week. AI is how I got my evenings back. I took that week down to 15 hours with the same output, then helped stand up an early AI steering committee across the Insight Partners portfolio. I have been bringing AI into enterprise teams since 2020, and my favorite moment is always the same one, when someone realizes they can do this themselves. Coaching lets me give one person the same playbooks I build for Fortune 500 companies, without the enterprise price tag or the jargon. I started working in hospitality at 14, so taking care of people is how I'm wired, and coaching is the most direct way I know to do that.
