Best for

Scope at a glance

Detailed scope and deliverables agreed in writing before we begin. Larger work — implementation, policy build, vendor evaluation, multiple decisions — is a separate engagement.

Senior AI Strategist (FTE)
For organizations ready to bring senior AI leadership in-house. An individual contributor role focused on strategy, architecture, and execution — not people management.
Ideal for
Organizations needing embedded senior AI leadership without adding management layers.
Scope
Permanent position — selective and must be the right mutual fit
Senior judgment, practical delivery.
Direct access to senior judgment.
No junior consultant intermediaries. You work with me.
Clear scope and deliverables, agreed upfront.
What we're producing, when, and what counts as done.
Working cadence that fits your team.
Regular check-ins shaped to your needs — not a mandated quarterly review structure.
Practical, usable deliverables.
Documents, frameworks, and decisions your team can actually pick up and run with.
Clean handoff.
I leave your team self-sufficient, not dependent on me to keep the work alive.
Executive presentations available on request.
Not assumed, not required — but available if the work calls for it.
What I don't do
I don't manage teams or oversee departments. I'm an individual contributor who does their best work close to the problem.
I don't do quick AI implementations for small businesses or solopreneurs. The work I do requires organizational complexity and budget to match.
I don't sell software licenses or take commissions from vendors. My recommendations are based entirely on what's right for your organization.
I design, advise, and guide. Your team builds and runs. For the right engagement, deeper involvement is possible — but the default posture is hand-off, not hand-on.
