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.
