The Challenge
From Uncertainty to Competitive Advantage.
Most companies know AI matters but don't have a CTO or AI team to make it happen.
Sound Familiar?
You know AI matters, but nobody on your team owns the strategy. You've tried a few tools, but nothing stuck and the gap between you and your competitors keeps growing.
What We Do
We become your AI department. We audit your workflows, build automations, train your team, and deliver measurable results every month.
Where You'll Be
Results compound. In one client's first training session, two leaders automated a process that had taken 30 hours every month. That is 360 hours a year, recovered, and it compounds from there.
We brought Colin and Tony in for a full-day AI training session, and the ROI was immediate. By lunch, our team was building custom skills, connecting Claude to our actual tools, and setting up automated workflows for the day-to-day of the business.

“Colin and Tony did an amazing job leading our AI training day. They made AI approachable for newer users while still bringing practical, thoughtful ideas for those already using it, which isn't easy to do well. We finished the day with strong momentum and genuine excitement about how we can use AI to make our company better.”

Why Us
The operators who ran the companies now run your AI.
You're not hiring consultants. You're working with two operators who've lived inside the C-suite and the trenches.
Colin spent over a decade as an operator and COO, including running Activision's Demonware studio, then eight years coaching CEOs. Tony is a computer scientist who served as a COO at Electronic Arts, Director of Operations at Microsoft Game Studios, and a venture capital investor at Vanedge Capital.
We speak business and we build the tech. That combination is rare, and it's why our clients stay.
