I want to work on getting AI actually adopted inside businesses, not demoed: solutions and implementation work, forward-deployed delivery, founding GTM at early AI companies, or automation for SMB and mid-market teams. I’m equally open to roles using my thirteen years in commercial real estate, leasing, capital markets and B2B sales. Full-time remote, contract or fractional.

I build AI automation that non-technical teams actually use — conversational CRM and ops agents live in real estate and facilities.
What I'm looking for
I build AI automation for businesses whose staff will never open a dashboard.
Two products are live in production. GoXero (goxero.co) is a conversational CRM that runs inside Telegram, WhatsApp and Slack: a rep sends a voice note from the car and it extracts the lead, logs the details, and tells them who to follow up with. No new app, no new habit. AMAI does the same for a real estate agency, combining CRM, inventory matching and a conversational company brain in one thread. A third deployment runs facilities operations across two commercial towers, covering QR-based inspections, work orders, invoices, attendance and vendor-visit verification, and brings security guards and facility supervisors into the reporting loop for the first time. Software literacy is never the barrier, because there is no software to learn.
That bias comes from thirteen years selling to and operating for the people who would have to use it. I have run portfolio leasing and capital investments across 5.5M sq ft of Grade A office, built strategic accounts and capital markets functions from zero at Novel Office US, and before that ran 300 to 400 outbound calls a day in B2B demand generation. I know which parts of an operator’s day are worth automating because I have done them by hand.
I am looking for work where the job is getting AI adopted, not demoed: solutions consulting, forward-deployed implementation, founding GTM, or enablement for SMB and mid-market teams. Open to full-time remote, contract and fractional.
