AI-Native Diagnostic
A frontier-grade read on where an AI-native rival would leapfrog you — and where the real margin is hiding. Not a maturity model.
Ends in → a prioritised map, not a deck.
AI advisory · built around it
Most companies bolt AI on. The best are built around it.
I help mid-market and enterprise teams operate the way AI-native companies do — drawn from a front-row seat to how the next generation is actually built.

Shipped use case — how every engagement ends
A decade at the frontier of AI investing — a front-row seat to the companies redrawing your market.
BACKED BY PORTFOLIO AS SEEN IN PRESS
An AI-native competitor would collapse half your operation into a single agent. The question was never whether it happens. It's whether you build it first.
Big consultancies systematise yesterday's playbook. The flood of solo "AI advisors" has never shipped anything. The edge is a genuine frontier view — and the willingness to put it into production inside your business.
What I do
Three ways in. Each one ships something.
No retainers that drift. Every engagement is scoped to end in a concrete outcome you can point to.
Ship a Use Case
We take one high-leverage workflow and put a working AI use case into production — proving the pattern your team can repeat.
Ends in → something shipped, in production.
Level Up the Team
Your leaders learn to think and operate AI-native — the judgement, not the jargon — so the capability stays after I leave.
Ends in → a team that carries it without me.
The approach
Map. Prioritise. Build. Embed.
A short, senior engagement that moves from a clear-eyed read to something working — then makes sure it sticks.
01
Map
Where you'd be leapfrogged, and where the margin sits.
02
Prioritise
One use case with the highest leverage, chosen ruthlessly.
03
Build
Put it into production — hands-on, not slideware.
04
Embed
Hand the pattern and the judgement to your team.
Who it's for
Two kinds of company. One quiet fear.
Fast, and worried about being leapfrogged.
The board is pushing on AI and no one credible owns it. You move quickly, but you can feel that an AI-native rival could collapse your advantage. You want someone who has watched exactly that happen — and can get ahead of it.
Established, with margin on the table and no map.
You know there's value to unlock but the path isn't obvious, and the last thing you need is startup theatre. You want gravitas and safety: a senior partner who has seen this done properly and will be in the room throughout.
The edge — why a VC
A front-row seat you can't consult your way into.
“I've watched hundreds of AI-native companies get built from zero. That playbook doesn't live in a Big-4 methodology — it lives in the room where it's being written.”
✓Front-row view of how AI-native companies are actually built
✓Hands-on implementation — we ship, not slideware
✓Senior in the room throughout, no juniors handed the work
