I’m Kevin Dewalt, co-founder of Prolego. For three decades, I’ve built and led enterprise AI systems, from neural networks at Stanford in the early 1990s to today’s production-grade GenAI platforms. In dozens of Fortune 500 engagements, I’ve seen the same pattern: organizations do not lack ideas. They lack focus, sequencing, ownership, and adoption discipline.

My work centers on imposing that discipline. Inside enterprise AI CoEs, I help leaders narrow to the few initiatives that matter, align stakeholders, secure funding, and ship production systems. Over time, this became a repeatable approach for creating focus and execution under pressure.
