AI Services

Hello! With over two decades of experience in engineering and leadership roles, I specialize in AI strategy and digital transformation. At John Deere, I have led teams in accelerating digital transformation and implementing modern tech stacks, ensuring smooth change management across global operations. My background includes a Master's in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Stanford University, and I've been a Leadership Coach at organizations like Women with Potential and Delta Leadership Institute. I am passionate about helping clients navigate the complexities of AI integration and digital transformation. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey in leveraging AI for business success!

I'm a technology executive with 17 years of product leadership experience, currently serving as SVP/CPO at Invisible, where I've scaled AI training and evaluation infrastructure for frontier labs including OpenAI and Google DeepMind, and built enterprise AI platforms now at $140M+ ARR. Before that, I led product at Upwork ($500M+ marketplace), Chegg ($300M → $600M+ subscription), Amazon, and Microsoft — owning $300M+ P&Ls and building global product organizations at each stage. I also stepped in as interim Head of Engineering for a 100-person team, giving me a rare vantage point across both product and technical leadership. I coach across two tracks. For senior PMs and Directors, I focus on the step up to VP or executive product leadership — the shift in scope, influence, and strategic thinking that titles alone don't prepare you for. For CPOs and product executives already in the seat, I work on the harder stuff: org design, board-level communication, navigating ambiguity at scale, and leading product strategy when the answers aren't obvious. I coach from lived experience across every stage — startup to public company — not from a framework.

I have been in tech working with AI for over 10 years at Google and Meta. I now teach AI in Marketing at the University of Washington and ELVTR online. I have taught several hundred business leaders and students how to easily apply AI solutions into their sales and marketing workflows and projects. I am up to date with the latest AI solutions.

With over a decade of experience in product management and AI/ML strategy, I have led transformative projects at top companies like Nike, Expedia Group, and Boeing. At Nike, I spearheaded initiatives that drove significant revenue growth and cost savings through AI and machine learning enhancements. My expertise extends to scaling AI-driven CRM platforms and personalization features, as demonstrated during my tenure at Expedia Group. I have a proven track record of leveraging AI to optimize business processes and enhance customer experiences. Whether you're looking to integrate AI into your business strategy or transform your operations, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and explore how I can help you achieve your AI transformation goals!

Most businesses use AI to write emails; I used it to build a company. As the founder of Companion Family Care, a 2nd Family franchise, I leveraged AI to navigate the entire lifecycle of a high-stakes C-Corp startup. This included strategic planning for ROBS and SBA funding, automating complex legal and licensing requirements (COUO), and integrating AI into daily operations and payroll. I coach executives and entrepreneurs on how to move beyond "task-based AI" and transition to "system-based AI." My approach focuses on Business Transformation: using AI to replace expensive consultants, streamline regulatory compliance, and build a lean, scalable infrastructure. If you are looking to launch a venture or modernize an existing operation with a proven, founder-led blueprint, I can show you exactly how to architect your AI strategy.

As a 2x founder and current solopreneur, AI is a critical part of my business--can't wait to help you do the same! I’ve built state-of-the-art AI systems in real-world settings—from agent models for a boutique investing firm to the first AI mental health coach with functioning long-term memory. Alongside this work, I’ve taught and facilitated AI courses at Stanford, helping students master machine learning and generative models. My focus is on turning advanced research into practical, working products and coaching others to do the same.

Welcome to my profile! I’m Charles, an AI Automation and Workflow Specialist who helps businesses streamline operations, reduce manual work, and build scalable digital systems. I design custom automation solutions using tools like n8n, Make.com, Zapier, Airtable and Monday.com, connecting platforms that don’t normally work together and turning complex processes into efficient workflows. I’ve supported e-commerce brands, agencies, healthcare providers, and coaches in saving 15+ hours weekly, improving follow-ups by 40%, and cutting administrative work by up to 50%. Where needed, I also implement AI-powered assistants as part of complete, well-structured workflows. I’m passionate about helping businesses grow through practical, reliable automation. Let’s connect and explore how I can support your goals.

As a former VP of Product, I was part of executive conversations where we were actively scoping ML and LLM solutions, and there were moments where the direction felt wrong for society, not just for the business. I was the person in those rooms who said: before we go further, we need an ethicist and a social scientist at this table. That instinct, to pause and ask who this affects and how, shapes everything I bring to AI strategy work. But this conversation doesn't belong only in the boardroom. Whether you're a product manager scoping a feature, a team lead adopting new tools, an individual contributor being asked to work alongside AI, or a leader setting direction, you deserve to develop the muscle for asking the hard questions. The capacity to sit with the philosophical and even existential weight of what we're building, who it serves, who it sidelines, and what we lose when we stop asking. I coach people across the entire AI ecosystem by helping them get oriented, decide when to trust human judgment over automation, and find or build environments where humans aren't an afterthought. I've built and deployed my own AI tools, facilitate conversations on human intelligence vs. AI in the workplace, and am conducting original research on how AI is reshaping expertise and credibility. If you want to engage with AI more intentionally and with more integrity, this is the work I do.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in M&A and corporate finance, I specialize in helping businesses harness the power of AI to drive strategic transformation and operational efficiency. As a Vice President at Azurest Partners, I have led complex transactions and strategic repositioning efforts, equipping me with the skills to translate AI concepts into actionable business strategies. My approach focuses on integrating AI into real workflows to enhance decision-making, boost revenue, and create sustainable competitive advantages. Let's connect to explore how AI can be a game-changer for your business!

During my last two years at The Home Depot my team was responsible for working with multiple Product VPs to define and execute the company's AI transformation strategy and approach. I also worked with the Organizational Effectiveness team to build the human side of AI-related change, which is a massive part of any transformation. From this we developed training and coaching plans that were provided to thousands of individual contributors and managers, from new hires to VPs. The strategic part of transformation is what many leaders are skipping. This requires deep thinking about how to incorporate AI into your overall business and product strategy when it can so easily become a very expensive wild west. There are many tools available and they are changing rapidly. Token costs are starting to become real budget line items and will be under increased scrutiny from Finance departments. The power of AI is real, and it can help your business in many ways, from better ideation to faster delivery, but the rapid change both technologically and organizationally can be very disruptive - and not always in a good way - if you don't think through a proper strategic approach.
