Your Fractional Head of AI · for founder-led companies, 15 to 100 people
Make AI actually pay off in your business.
You're spending on AI without a plan tying it together. I find where it pays, then we build it and run it with you, starting with a 2 to 4 week AI Audit.
From an operator who built AI inside his own company, owning the whole P&L.
Can pilot now. 3 gaps block scaling.

Illustrative. Your audit is built from your data.
The AI Audit
What the audit gives you.
Right now AI is happening in pockets across your team, with nothing connecting it. There is activity, but no measurable payoff. The audit replaces guesswork with a clear, prioritized plan you can act on.
Where to start
A prioritized map of where AI pays first, so effort goes where the return is highest instead of spreading thin.
The business case
ROI in real numbers, and what staying scattered is costing you. A clear case for where to invest first.
A de-risked next step
You know exactly what to build, and in what order, before you commit budget.
How it works
Audit, build, operate.
You shouldn't roadmap AI before you understand how the business runs. Every engagement moves through the same three stages, so you see results from each one before you commit to the next.
Audit
A 2 to 4 week diagnostic that gives you the full picture and the business case before any build begins.
Build
We build on a single connected foundation across your stack, so each solution can draw on the same governed data and context instead of starting over as a standalone tool. Each one ships in milestones and is built to stay secure and scalable as you grow.
Operate
I stay on as your fractional Head of AI, keeping it running, building the next solutions on the foundation, and handing the capability to your team.
I approach this as an operator, not an advisor. I co-founded a premium nut butter brand and ran operations for six years, owning the whole P&L across manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, DTC, and events. When the manual work buried me, I built AI systems to get out from under it, and what changed the business was the compounding. Each system built on the last.
That is how I work now as a Fractional Head of AI for founder-led SMBs. Most AI work leaves you with a drawer of one-off tools that get scrapped the moment your needs change. I build so each thing makes the next one easier, on one connected foundation you keep building on instead of starting over.
The first gains usually come from getting hours back, ending work that should never have been manual. The larger payoff comes later. With the right foundation, your team takes on work it could not before, and pulls ahead.
I diagnose before I build, because most AI spend fails on implementation, not the technology. Every engagement starts with a short AI Audit, so we build the right things, in the right order, on a foundation that connects and lasts.
This works best for founder-led companies between 15 and 100 people, where a decision-maker can say yes and act. If your AI is scattered and you want it to add up to something that lasts, let's talk.
Questions
What is an AI Audit, and what do I get?+
A 2 to 4 week diagnostic that ends with a plan you can act on. You leave with a ranked map of where AI pays first, the ROI in real numbers, and a phased roadmap of exactly what to build and in what order, so your next move is a clear decision instead of a guess.
Do you build the solutions, or just hand me a report?+
We build. The audit is the front door, not the finish line. Once we agree on the roadmap, we build the prioritized solutions, scoped and delivered in milestones so you sign off on each stage before we move to the next. You are never left holding a report with no one to execute it.
Do we have to be on Microsoft 365?+
No. The audit and the plan are the same on any stack. For the build, I go deepest on Microsoft 365 and Copilot, and on other stacks I scope the work and bring in the right team to deliver it. The problems do not change with the tools.
Who is this for?+
Founder-led companies, roughly 15 to 100 people, where a decision-maker can say yes and act.
