What your team walks away with.

Most AI training is generic conference talks and Udemy courses. I design custom programs around your team's actual work. the tools they use, the decisions they make, the workflows they want to improve.

Ongoing fractional CAIO

Embedded ongoing advisory. monthly office hours, async questions, tool recommendations as your team scales its AI use.

Built for teams that can't fall behind.

01

Companies with AI ambition but AI-shy teams

Leadership wants to move on AI, but the team isn't sure where to start or feels threatened.

02

Agencies and consultancies

You sell knowledge work. The teams that learn to use AI well in the next year will eat the ones that don't.

Questions from team leads.

01

What format does this take?

Depends on the engagement. Common shapes: a single half-day executive session, a two-day hands-on workshop for a team, or a multi-month ongoing program with weekly sessions and async support.
02

What tools do you cover?

Whatever's right for your team. Most commonly: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Perplexity, plus the agent and automation tools relevant to your work.
03

Can you train non-technical teams?

Yes. most of my training work is with non-engineers. Marketers, ops people, founders, executives. The curriculum is built for the audience, not against it.
