PE-backed companies going through M&A or operational overhaul need someone who can design AND execute AI-enabled HR transformation, not just deliver a deck. I've run 30+ HR transformations across companies from 50 to 2,500 employees, integrated HR and L&D infrastructure through 12+ acquisitions, and built the AI tools myself when the market didn't have what my clients needed (FastAPI, React, Supabase, Claude API). Former lawyer. 3x CHRO/CLO. No CS degree. I just got tired of waiting. Here’s what I've shipped (among others): → AIHRPilot.com — enterprise HR policy intelligence tool with TF-IDF semantic search, risk scoring, and structured HR workflow automation → CareerBeastMode.com — full-stack career coaching SaaS (React/TypeScript/Vite, Supabase, Claude API) for executives navigating AI-era transitions → DueDrill.com — institutional VC due diligence platform with a 26-category multi-agent DD framework (FastAPI + React + AWS) → ChaiRaise.com — nonprofit fundraising CRM with Gmail OAuth, automated donor pipeline management, and API-integrated workflows → CommanderInChief.AI — RAG-based executive coaching agent on my 4-volume book series (42 chapters), with multi-session memory → BookToCourse.AI — transforms book content into structured online courses → AIWageGap.com — quarterly report on the AI Wage Gap for mid-career executives - Other work: AI SME & Trainer — Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI (via Mercor, micro1, Sepal AI) Course redesign for Coursera — AI-driven curriculum for practitioners Founder, Portfolio Leverage (PortLev.com) — AI enablement platform for executives Publisher, LeverageBrief.com — 5,000+ subscribers | weekly intelligence for Portfolio Executives closing the AI Wage Gap Portfolio Executive OS — cohort course: build real AI tools, not just use them — Top 5 Global HR Thought Leader, Thinkers360 Advisory Board, Future of Learning Technologies (HR.com) Published: 7 books, thought leadership for Forbes · Fast Company · Entrepreneur · Newsweek For executives: Subscribe → LeverageBrief.com | DM "OS" for the Portfolio Executive OS cohort. 📍 Available globally | yuri.kruman(at)gmail.com
