We turn AI uncertainty into funded next steps. Each initiative is feasibility-scored and capacity-checked against team bandwidth and operating calendars before you commit.
"We don’t greenlight pilots until data access, security/privacy, and integration feasibility clear the gate."
Built to prevent duplicated pilots and enforce funding gates across PortCos.
The world doesn’t need more AI hype or PowerPoint decks. Leaders need measurable results, fast.
That’s where we’re different:
Three binding decisions and a 90-day pilot roadmap with owners and metrics.
Technical, financial, and data constraints are validated before anything is funded.
Follow-through and week-two check-ins keep execution moving and prevent backsliding.
When stakes are high (board scrutiny, compliance risk, or portfolio-wide coordination) teams want senior operators in the room.
A strategic leader known for bringing board-level clarity to complex AI initiatives. Susan ensures every engagement is anchored to a defensible business case and executed with rigor.
