FAQ / NO JARGON

How is this different from a consultant?

Consultants hand you a deck and leave. I build the systems, train your team, and stay until it works. Not advising from outside. Operating from inside.

What's the time commitment?

Typical engagements run 6–12 months. Significant weekly hours per company, regular syncs, weekly deliverables.

Do you work on-site?

Mostly remote with optional on-site days in San Diego. The best AI work happens async, but I'm there in person for kickoffs and key milestones.

What if we already have a CTO?

Good. I run the AI layer, they run the broader stack. A collaboration, not a turf war.

Ready for an
AI exec?

A few seats. The companies that move get them. Apply and see if we're a fit.

The time is now. Turn ambition into AI advantage, in weeks, not years.
