A senior data and AI voice in the room.
Embedded leadership for teams building with GenAI, RAG, analytics, or AI products — without a full-time hire.
For teams that need senior ownership before they need another hire.
I help founders and operators turn a loose AI ambition into a clear direction, a dependable technical foundation, and a rhythm the team can actually maintain.
The work is practical: make the hard calls, unblock delivery, improve the data layer, support hiring, and leave the function stronger than it was.
AI features are moving from experiment to product.
Your data or BI foundation is holding decisions back.
You need a senior data and AI counterpart.
A full-time hire is not the right shape yet.
Three responsibilities. One operating rhythm.
Direction
AI strategy, architecture reviews, build-vs-buy decisions, and a focused 90-day roadmap.
Foundations
Data quality, metrics, BI, analytics, and the systems that make the work trustworthy.
Team
Hiring support, technical decision-making, leadership conversations, and a clean handoff when the time is right.
Let's work out whether the role fits.
Tell me where the team is stuck, what you are building, and what needs to be true in the next 90 days.
What does the role cover?
Setting direction, reviewing architecture, improving the data and BI foundation, supporting hiring, and helping the team make better decisions.
Who is this for?
Early-stage and growing teams building AI products, GenAI or RAG features, or a more dependable analytics function without hiring a full-time Head of Data & AI yet.
How does it work?
The engagement is scoped around the team's stage and priorities, usually over a minimum of three months with a regular embedded cadence.
