Most people offering AI advice today are either technologists with no real business experience, or business consultants who understand AI only in the abstract. I've spent my career on the operating side of this problem. As a BCG Partner, I've advised Fortune 500 and private equity leadership teams on AI-enabled operating workflows directly, not as a side interest, but as part of real transformation engagements involving hands-on system design, not just strategy recommendations. I also hold an algorithm from an AI-driven materials-modeling venture I co-founded earlier in my career, so this isn't theoretical for me, I've built the technical thing myself, and I've also sat across from executives who needed to understand what it actually meant for their business. Since founding my own advisory practice, I've applied this directly, diagnosing how a business's existing tools and processes actually work, then designing the specific layer that makes AI genuinely useful rather than just present. I work best with people and small teams who know AI matters but don't know where to actually start, or who've tried a tool and found it didn't change much. I'll help you find the specific, practical place AI can save you real time or create real value, and build a plan to get there, not a generic overview of what AI can theoretically do.
