Why this topic matters

AI solutions and promises are everywhere, but most leaders lack a clear way to judge what’s real, what’s hype, and what fits their business. This class gives you a fast, rigorous method to evaluate any AI product, spot risks early, and make confident, defensible investment decisions in minutes.

2x Founder, COO, Principal Advisor | Enterprise AI & Product Leader

I specialize in making bold bets in AI and enterprise technology real - and doing it with integrity. I’ve rebuilt platforms at Fortune 500 scale, launched a TIME-recognized AI invention, and guided major transformations as a founder, COO, head of product, and principal advisor.

Across 18+ years, my work has spanned two founder runs, complex platform turnarounds, private equity tech evaluations, and the end-to-end design of AI-enabled systems in logistics, payments, and data infrastructure. The throughline is simple: I help leaders see the whole system, name the real constraints, and make technology decisions that actually hold up in the real world.

I teach this material because most teams are drowning in AI noise without a way to separate signal from spectacle. Leaders are facing the most complex technology landscape of their careers - and most are doing it without the frameworks or judgment they need. Across my lightning lessons and full cohort, I give students the tools to see their organizations as systems, evaluate technology with clarity, and make confident, high-leverage decisions in the AI era.
