Kasey’s Build with AI Qualifications
Experience level: Executive
I've spent my career building systems that do work instead of creating more of it. As COO of Graphite Connect, I built production AI agents that ran parts of the business daily, recovering billable hours, surfacing risks before humans noticed them, and doing work that had never happened because no one had the capacity. I didn't write the code by hand. I designed the systems and built them with AI coding tools, which is exactly the skill set most people trying to build with AI actually need. Today I'm the GM of AI Services at Leland, where I build agents, workflow automations, and AI infrastructure for mid-market companies. Before that I founded and ran a product company for six years and led purchasing at Club Med. I coach from the operator's seat: what to build first, how to scope something you can ship this week, and how to turn a working prototype into a system your business depends on. If you can describe the work, I can help you build the thing that does it."

Head of AI Services
Leland
July 2026 - Present
Leading Leland's AI Services business. We help companies move past AI experiments and put AI to work inside their operations: agents that do real work, automations that replace manual processes, and systems built around your stack and use case. As GM, I own the business end to end, from our service lines and pricing to delivery and client outcomes. The difference from traditional consulting: AI-native builders assembled around your business who own the result, not a slide deck. If you're a leader trying to actually implement AI, let's talk.
