Cross-Industry AI Advisor, Strategist & Growth Partner
Founder of AI Today Consulting
In today's accelerating world of generative intelligence, you face two paths: design an AI strategy that reshapes how your business operates - or watch competitors do it first.
In an era of radical technological acceleration, meaningful growth comes from clarity—not complexity. AI is reshaping every major industry, from professional services and finance to manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Organizations that succeed are the ones approaching AI adoption strategically.
And while the pressure to modernize is undeniable, the smartest leaders know that AI transformation requires informed guidance. This is where a strategic AI advisor becomes essential.
At AI Today Consulting, we serve as your trusted AI Advisor, helping your leadership team identify where AI creates real value, which opportunities warrant investment, and how to align AI decisions with the long-term health of your business. We bring clarity, proven frameworks, and impartial guidance so you can pursue business growth with AI confidently and responsibly.
For companies seeking deeper executive-level direction, we also offer a fractional Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAiO) engagement. This provides high-caliber AI leadership on a flexible basis—helping you shape an enterprise-wide AI vision, establish governance, evaluate business cases, and navigate an increasingly complex landscape without the cost of a full-time executive.
