If you're a founder still stuck solving every high-stakes problem yourself, this is for you. You've built a real business. Revenue's climbing. But behind the scenes? You're stretched thin. Still leading sales, managing the team, driving culture, and putting out fires that never seem to stop. At this stage, it's not about hustling harder. It's about building a company that doesn't need you in every meeting, every decision, every crisis. That's where I come in. I scaled Arcules from zero to 150+ employees and led the company through acquisition by Canon, where I became their youngest standalone CEO. I've lived the journey from founder-led chaos to building an executive team that operates without me in every room. At Leaders ADAPT, I work with high-performing founders and CEOs to step into true executive leadership. That means developing your next layer of leaders, aligning culture and accountability across the company, structuring your executive team to lead with clarity, and building systems where decisions happen without your constant intervention. I also bring something most leadership advisors don't: a technical background in AI and machine learning from my years building enterprise tech. When clients ask how AI fits into their growth strategy or whether a vendor is overselling them, I can answer from experience, not theory. If you're ready to build a company that frees you instead of consumes you, let's talk.

https://aiforboardrooms.com/ I help CEOs and executive teams at mid-sized companies ($10M+ revenue) cut through the AI noise, avoid expensive mistakes, and build strategies that actually drive business outcomes. My AI background predates the ChatGPT hype. I led AI and computer vision initiatives while scaling Arcules from zero to 150+ employees, integrating machine learning into enterprise security solutions before "AI strategy" became a LinkedIn buzzword. One of the biggest problems I solve: protecting you from vendors who invent problems your company doesn't have. I've sat on both sides of the table. I know what AI projects should cost, what corners get cut, and where vendors pad their estimates. Clients regularly tell me that engaging with me pays for itself because I save them from six-figure mistakes while steering resources toward the initiatives that actually move the needle. Having spent years as a CEO and led a company through acquisition by Canon, I operate comfortably at the C-suite and board level. I'm not translating between technical teams and executives. I speak both languages natively. This isn't remote advisory work. I embed with leadership teams, build relationships, and work alongside you to identify where AI creates real leverage in your business. No generic frameworks. No death by PowerPoint. Just practical strategy tied to your specific growth goals. If you're a CEO trying to figure out how AI fits into your company without getting taken for a ride, let's talk.
