AI middleware for operators

Your company runs on Google.
Your team makes high-stakes decisions every day with incomplete information.

I build the AI layer that fixes that —
so the right information shows up before you ask for it.

Not a tool.
An intelligence system woven into how your organization operates.

Deployed now
CRE investment firm

3 principals. Lean team.

  • → Automated financial intelligence
  • → AI-extracted action items from every meeting
  • → Morning brief delivered daily

Most enterprise AI doesn't fail because the technology is wrong.
It fails because nobody uses it.

The Numbers
  • 69% of senior executives use AI < 1 hour per week
  • 46% of enterprise AI initiatives are scrapped before adoption
  • 75% of enterprise dashboards never opened after week one

The orgs that get it right embed AI at the executive layer.
The results are documented:

Air Canada

A 6-month executive strategic alignment process compressed into a single 2-hour session.

T-Mobile

Four months of post-restructure planning delivered in one day — portfolio prioritization, AI-offset workflows, and cultural strategy in parallel.

Herbalife

70% compression of executive decision cycles in a 90-day pilot. Executives liberated from data-gathering, free to operate on judgment.

The pattern: months of friction become hours of focused decision-making.


An AI operating system —
a full intelligence layer woven into how your organization thinks, decides, and operates.

Not bolted on.
The connective tissue.

The metric it moves: decision cycle compression.

The time between a question being asked and a confident answer being acted on.
Days become minutes. Months become hours.


Layer 1

State Agent — AI Chief of Staff

One per executive.

Built from structured intake — your context, priorities, and how you think.

It knows your calendar, your inbox, your deals, your relationships — and tells you what matters before you ask.

Layer 2

AI Employees

Function-specific agents: deals, finance, operations, investor relations, meetings.

They do the work. Your Chief of Staff routes, synthesizes, and briefs you.

You don't manage systems. You ask one question and get an answer.

Layer 3

Knowledge Base

Everything your organization knows.

Google Drive, meetings, email — indexed and injected automatically.

Every answer comes with full context — and full sourcing. Audit any claim in one click.


Works where you already work.

No new software. No new logins. Email-first by design — it's where executive attention actually lives.

Built inside your Google Cloud environment. Same security. Same IAM. Same trust model.
Your data stays inside your system.


Most AI doesn't fail at the technology layer.
It fails at adoption.

This is built to avoid that.

A documented methodology, applied with discipline across 30, 60, and 90-day phases.


The cadence of an enterprise.
Without the enterprise.

This only works for a specific kind of organization.
If it's not you, I'll tell you.

Your organization runs on Google Workspace. Hard requirement.
Lean executive team. 2–7 decision-makers doing high-stakes work.
You make decisions with incomplete information every day. You feel the gap.
At least one believer in leadership. Doesn't need to be technical. Just ready.
Principal-driven. The decision-maker is in the room.

Not a fit

Fortune 500 → too much process, too slow
Large committees → this isn't committee software
"Trying AI" → wrong stage
Microsoft shops → different architecture entirely

I work with a small number of clients. The ones where this fits — and leadership is ready to use it.


Three phases. Always custom.

Infrastructure is yours. No vendor lock. Fire me tomorrow and the system keeps running.

In practice, this is the digital work of a senior hire — controller, ops lead, or chief of staff, depending on where you're bottlenecked. ~$110k base + benefits. Without the recruit, the ramp, or the day they give notice.


Case Study — CRE Investment Firm

3 principals. Lean team.

Their controller was leaving.
Their books were a mess.

They needed financial intelligence — not another hire.

Now running:

  • → Automated cash analysis + anomaly detection
  • → AI-extracted action items from every meeting
  • → Daily morning brief to the managing partner

Runs autonomously.

The system replaced the intelligence function of a full-time controller before her last day.
