AI is already in your small business. Who's leading it?
Small businesses are using AI every day, often without anyone owning the decisions behind it. I help you establish clear priorities, workable standards, and systems your team can actually run, with human judgment and accountability at the center. You get senior AI leadership without hiring a full-time executive.
What AI leadership establishes
Small businesses feel the AI gap first.
In a small business, AI decisions land on people who already have a full-time job. Tools get adopted one subscription at a time, nobody sets the rules, and the owner ends up carrying the risk. You do not need a bigger team to fix that. You need clear ownership and a practical way of working.
Tools without a plan
AI subscriptions and experiments pile up without a shared priority or a measure of what they are worth.
No one owns the rules
Staff make their own calls about what information goes into AI tools and what quality is acceptable.
Owner carries the risk
Every AI decision routes back to you, on top of everything else you already lead.
Advice built for enterprises
Most AI guidance assumes departments, budgets, and staff you do not have. The work here is sized to your reality.
Ways to work together.
Each engagement has a defined scope and a written agreement. We start where your business actually is, not where a template says you should be.
AI Readiness & Governance Assessment
A paid, in-depth diagnostic of where AI sits in your business today, ending in a clear roadmap. Investment: $1,500–$2,500 depending on scope.
90-Day Sprint Intensive
A time-bounded implementation that builds an initial AI operating foundation across selected work. Starting at $5,000.
AI Integration Labs
A hands-on, four-hour working session in College Station, TX, limited to ten seats, where you build with guidance and leave with working systems. $750 per person.
Custom AI Solution Build
A scoped build for one defined workflow, starting with a $500 Scoping Deep Dive. Custom builds start at $2,500; AI Agent Builds start at $5,000.
Need ongoing leadership?

How the work moves.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path, whether it is a single workflow or company-wide leadership.
01
Diagnose
I understand current AI use, business priorities, ownership gaps, constraints, and team readiness.
02
Design
I establish the roadmap, standards, decision rights, success measures, and delivery plan with you.
03
Deploy
I lead the agreed work into practical systems, testing, documentation, and team introduction.
04
Drive
I review adoption, results, exceptions, and next priorities with the people who own the function.
Built for owners who want capability, not dependence.
The goal is a business that can lead AI deliberately on its own. Documentation, access, ownership, and internal capability are part of the work from the beginning, so your team understands the systems and decisions it relies on.
I do not promise universal financial or competitive outcomes. I do promise clear scope, honest recommendations, and work your people can carry forward.
Let's talk about your business.
Tell me what your business needs AI to do, and I will help you find the right starting point, whether that is an assessment, a sprint, a lab seat, or ongoing leadership.
