Most executives are making AI decisions with the worst possible information.
Your advisors are behind
Your board, your consultants, your industry peers - none of them are at the frontier. They're reading the same Forbes articles you are.
Your team can't see past execution
The people inside your company are solving today's problems. They can't tell you what's possible or what's coming.
Consultants sell decks, not knowledge
Big 4 frameworks are built from yesterday's case studies. What you need is someone who shipped an AI product last quarter.
What You Get
Your own AI brain trust. Matched to your company.
An AI Advisory Council is a curated group of 3–5 AI practitioners matched to your industry, your tech stack, and your specific challenges. They become your council.
You meet monthly. You bring your real problems. They bring real answers - not frameworks built from case studies, but experience from shipping AI products, managing AI teams, and making the same decisions you're facing right now.
Between sessions, your council is reachable. When a vendor pitches you, you ask your council. When your board wants an AI strategy, your council helps you build it.
“One conversation with the right person is worth more than six months of research.”
Your Council
3–5 practitioners. One company. Yours.
- Matched to your industry and tech stack
- Active practitioners, not professional advisors
- Monthly sessions plus async access between
