Most AI speakers talk about AI. I build it. As Founder & CEO of HatchWorks AI — a 200-person AI consultancy with offices across the Americas — I speak from the trenches, not the stage. Every framework I share comes from real deployments, real clients, and real results. When I tell you how to avoid the 95% AI pilot failure rate, it's because I've seen what causes it firsthand. Forbes named me a Top 5 AI Leader. Harvard Business School trained me. But what your audience will remember is that I give them something they can use the following Monday morning. I've spoken at YPO Global Summits, Tiger 21, Harvard Business School alumni programs, SXSW, and CEO Coaching International. Perry Britton, a 35-year YPO veteran and Executive Chairman of Britton Corp, said it best: "You were absolutely amazing. Your session has been one of the best examples of 'take home value' that I have experienced." No buzzwords. No hype. Just practical AI strategy that moves businesses forward.
