Operator, not analyst.
I've sat in the executive seat I now advise from.
Twenty-five years of turning new technology into working systems
I've spent 25+ years building and running technology businesses: engineering leadership at WebMD, Clickability through its acquisition, Optimizely through hypergrowth — and then co-founding Last Rev to build enterprise platforms for companies that needed their content and systems to actually work together. The through-line has never changed: taking a new technology and turning it into working systems inside a real business, with real constraints and real people.
Then AI became the full-time job
Three years ago that became AI full-time. As CEO of AnswerAI, I've shipped knowledge assistants, retrieval systems, and workflow automation into production for actual customers. I've watched AI projects succeed and fail up close. The failures almost never come from the model. They come from nobody owning the operating model around it.
Why this offer exists
Most companies don't need another AI demo. They need someone accountable for the decisions: what data is allowed where, which workflows come first, private or commercial architecture, and how to measure whether any of it works. That's an executive job. I do it as a fractional one.
Where Last Rev and AnswerAI fit
Last Rev is the platform engineering firm I co-founded and still co-lead — it's my implementation partner when clients want work built. AnswerAI is the AI product company I run — it's the lab that keeps my AI judgment current. On this site, I'm the product: the advisory work is mine, and both companies make it stronger.
