AI consulting & angel investing
Hands-on AI operator & angel investor.
Collapse decision time. Raise the bar. Reduce the toil.
I help exec teams move AI from decks to production. I also write $10–75K checks for founders doing the same. Cold intros welcome. Yes/no ≤48 hours with a data room.

About
Operator and investor with 10+ years in product and strategy. I work with founders and exec teams to turn complex, multi-step operations into reliable decision systems—the kind that ship to production, stand up to scrutiny, and actually change how work gets done.
I prefer small senior teams and shipped impact over demos. I’m comfortable partnering on short, outcome-driven sprints or working embedded when that’s the right shape.
I selectively invest in longevity, believing that extending healthy life is worthwhile.
I can help with:
- • Prioritizing the 1-2 AI bets with the greatest ROI payback
- • Shipping production features with evaluation and guardrails
- • Proving large-scale impact with audit-ready metrics; keep what works
Principles
How I operate
- Default to production.
- Measure shipped impact, not demos.
- Small, senior teams.
- Evaluation-led; model/vendor agnostic.
- Auditable decisions; human oversight where it matters.
Advisory
AI consulting (selective)
I partner with leadership to turn AI from a slide into shipped product. Work ranges from short sprints to embedded roles. Typical impact: hours/days → minutes in high-stakes decisions, fewer errors with clearer accountability, and noticeably less manual toil.
- • Use-case triage & ROI modeling
- • Buy vs build, vendor selection
- • Org design & capability building
- • LLM evaluation, guardrails, and retrieval
- • Data pipelines & feedback loops
- • Practical MLOps & cost control
