What I'm looking for

I’m looking for COO/VP Operations/Head of AI & Automation/VP Business Development roles where I can build profitable operational engines, run cross-border compliance safely, and scale AI/automation systems with measurable KPI impact.

I’m an operations and AI transformation executive with 7+ years building and scaling multinational ventures from zero to global clients across six continents. As Founder and CEO of Mount Olympus AI, I designed the go-to-market strategy, built the full service delivery infrastructure, recruited and led distributed teams across four countries, and closed enterprise AI transformation engagements achieving 90%+ gross margins from day one.

I also operate as an independent commercial principal in physical commodities and crypto OTC markets, structuring and closing multi-million-dollar transactions under ICC, UAE, EU, and Brazilian regulatory frameworks—covering mandate origination, buyer sourcing, compliance, legal documentation, bank coordination, and deal execution. I build operational engines where no playbook exists, including multi-LLM orchestration, N8N workflow automation, Voice AI agents, and RAG systems, and I’m now seeking COO/VP Operations/Head of AI & Automation/VP Business Development roles.
