AI keeps coming up at board level. Nobody in the room owns the answer.
Independent AI and technology advice for Australian CEOs and boards at $20M to $200M revenue.
THE REALITY
Every vendor has an AI pitch. Every consultancy has a product attached to its advice. Meanwhile wages keep climbing and margins don’t.
Two questions sit unanswered. Where does AI put your business model at risk? And where does it take cost out or bring revenue in?
Without a CTO or CIO, those questions land on the CEO’s desk. Next to everything else.
WHAT CHANGES
Technology decisions judged on EBITDA, not hype. A clear view of the risks and the moves that pay back. One independent voice at the table with nothing to sell you.
TWO WAYS I WORK
Board seat. For boards with no one who can speak to AI and technology. Four to six meetings a year.
CEO mentoring. For a CEO without a board who wants a monthly strategy conversation, plus access between calls.
Who This Is For
Australian companies at $20M to $200M revenue. Long-established, steady demand, a high wage bill and margins under pressure. No CTO, CIO or anyone responsible for the technology stack.
Who This Is NOT For
Companies with a technology leader and roadmap already in place. Anyone looking for a software implementer.
