AI must change how companies operate—not by adding features, but by rearchitecting core workflows. I deploy AI as a force multiplier: reducing friction, redirecting human energy, and unlocking nonlinear gains.
In revenue organizations, this means creating a hybrid human-AI system: augmenting elite sellers with agentic co-pilots and digital SEs, while automating low-yield activities to drive performance and efficiency at scale.
This philosophy extends to my own process, where I leverage modern AI and agentic tools to rapidly prototype and validate new concepts, bridging the critical gap between executive vision and tangible execution.
