You're Not Behind—
You're at the Decision Point
Executive consulting for leaders who need a board-ready AI strategy in weeks, not buzzwords. Business outcomes over technical complexity.
The Executive AI Gap
You're not alone. Most leaders face the same uncertainty around AI transformation.
Executives lack strong understanding of how AI will change their industry
Stalled AI initiatives cite lack of executive alignment
Companies say AI adoption has caused internal division
About Your Consultant
I'm not a theoretical consultant. I've built successful business revenue, then went deep technical. Now I help leaders navigate the intersection.
I came from your world—100% business side. Sales, revenue targets, executive stakeholders, 1,000+ closed deals. Zero programming background. Zero technical training.
When AI tools emerged, I realized something profound: you don't need to learn to code—you need to learn to leverage AI. So I did. 10,000+ prompts later, I've built 4 production platforms from scratch, integrated 5 enterprise APIs, and deployed systems that meet government-grade compliance standards.
I AM one of you, and I know I can make you one of me. That transition fundamentally changed how I think about AI strategy: not as systems that must survive cost constraints, reliability demands, and human adoption.

Founder, IntelektAI & EarthOptix | AI-Native Business Leader
Business Executive Who Mastered AI Tools (Not Programming)
I help C-suite executives and business leaders develop practical AI strategy—without getting lost in technical complexity or learning to code. I understand your world because I AM you: closed 1,000+ deals on the business side, then taught myself to leverage AI tools to build production SaaS platforms—no programming background required.
I don't teach coding. I teach executives how to wield AI tools to build what used to require engineering teams.
My proof: 10,000+ AI prompts • 4 Next.js projects from scratch • 4 production sites deployed (earthoptix.com, platform.earthoptix.com, intelektai.com, subletla.com) • All on AWS • All solo • Zero traditional programming training
These weren't resume additions—they were earned by mastering AI tools to build, deploy, and operate real production systems. No computer science degree. No coding bootcamp. Just AI-assisted execution.
How I Bridge Business & Technical Domains
Most consultants have one side or the other. I operate at the intersection—where real AI transformation actually happens.
Business Leadership
- 1,000+ deals closed across multiple industries
- Deep expertise in sales, revenue ops, customer acquisition
- Understand margin pressure, quarterly targets, board expectations
- Built go-to-market strategies from scratch
Technical Execution
- Built production SaaS platform solo (full-stack)
- Expert in AWS architecture, CDK Infrastructure-as-Code
- Integrated 5 enterprise data APIs into live platform
- Deployed across multiple AWS services at scale
Why This Isn't Traditional Consulting
I don't arrive with slideware built by someone else. Every framework I use has been pressure-tested in production systems I've built and operated. That means my advice accounts for:
- •Real infrastructure costs
- •Data quality and latency issues
- •AI failure modes and guardrails
- •Organizational resistance during rollout
This is why my engagements focus on decisions leaders can actually stand behind—not theoretical best practices.
Who I Work Best With
Enterprise & Regulated Industries
Leaders in healthcare, finance, government, or enterprise environments where AI strategy must account for compliance, security, and organizational complexity.
You need strategies that survive audit trails and board scrutiny.
Founder-Led & Growth-Stage Companies
Entrepreneurs and executives building SaaS, B2B platforms, or scalable products who need to integrate AI without derailing their core business.
You're optimizing for speed, but not at the expense of sustainability.
If your organization operates under government-grade expectations or needs AI systems that meet federal compliance standards, my EarthOptix platform experience translates directly.
Why This Combination Matters for Your AI Strategy
I Speak Both Languages
You can ask me about ROI and I understand margin impact. Ask me about technical architecture and I know Lambda cold starts. This is rare.
No Surprises or Overselling
I've lived both the business pressure and technical reality. I won't tell you AI will solve everything, and I won't oversell technical solutions that don't move your business forward.
Practical Over Theory
Every framework I teach you, every decision tree, every metric—I use in my own work. This isn't MBA theory. It's what actually works when real consequences are on the line.
Technical Credibility
I can advise on build vs. buy, vendor selection, cloud strategy, and AI infrastructure choices because I've done all of it myself. You won't get outsmarted by your technical team.
Proof of Execution
EarthOptix is my live, production climate-intelligence platform. It's not a demo—it's a fully operational SaaS product that proves I understand enterprise systems at scale.
EarthOptix: Climate Intelligence Platform
Production SaaS platform integrating 5 authoritative data streams, processed in real-time, with AI-powered conversational interface using AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet 4.5)
5 Enterprise Data APIs Integrated
AWS Services Used Daily
What This Proves
I understand enterprise data integration at scale. Wiring 5 APIs isn't copy-paste—it requires understanding data formats, refresh rates, security requirements, and optimization patterns. This is exactly the kind of complexity your organization will face with AI systems. I don't advise from theory—I build, deploy, and operate the same systems my clients rely on.
