Consultant, Metro AI Partners
I spent 20 years in sales and executive recruiting, built a firm, ran it, and learned every way a business can leak time and money. Now I build AI companies. Not consulting firms that talk about AI. Actual companies where AI is the foundation and the team stays small by design. Metro AI Partners is the training and implementation side of that work. We go into small businesses, in person, on Zoom, or through our on-demand library, and show owners and their teams how to use AI the way we use it: not to write emails, but to automate workflows, delegate the repeatable work, and get their hours back. We call it Educate, Delegate, Automate. Everything we teach, we've built.
