Consulting & Advisory
Elite guidance at the intersection of AI, architecture, and enterprise execution.
Work With MeAll consulting engagements are delivered through SMARTHAUS, my math-first AI firm. Explore the specific engagements on the SMARTHAUS advisory pages.
Most advisory pages promise “strategy” or “AI expertise.” What I offer is different.
I bring nearly two decades of quota-carrying enterprise sales, ecosystem and GTM design, and math-first AI architecture into a single operating view. I don't just help you ship a feature or a demo—I help you design systems: technical systems, revenue systems, and organizational systems that can't afford to fail in mysterious ways.
If you need an AI system you can explain and prove, a revenue engine that actually scales, or a way to align math, architecture, and GTM so they stop fighting each other, this is where I can help.
Core situations where I can help
Most of my work falls into a few patterns:
- You need an AI or intelligence system that behaves like a scientific instrument, not a black box.
- You need your sales organization, partners, and GTM motion to behave like one coherent system, not silos.
- You need math, architecture, and revenue aligned—so strategy, AI, and execution stop working at cross-purposes.
How I Can Help
Below are the core engagements I offer. Each one reflects the work I've done across Dimension Data, NTT, AWS, and the architecture I now build through SmartHaus and the TAI ecosystem.
1. Sales Architecture, GTM & Ecosystem Systems
Who this is for:
Founders, CROs, and GTM leaders who need their sales organization, partners, and product to behave like one system—not a collection of silos and side deals.
What we do together:
- Design or repair your end-to-end GTM architecture (direct, partner, marketplace).
- Map your product into AWS/Azure/GCP and key ecosystem partners in a way sellers can actually use.
- Build an NTT-style cross-sell engine if you're multi-business-unit or multi-product.
- Create incentive models, service matrices, and internal playbooks so teams stop fighting the structure.
- Align product, sales, ops, and leadership around a single, coherent revenue system.
What you walk away with:
- A GTM and sales architecture your team can actually run, captured in a one-page architecture map.
- Organizational alignment instead of friction between sales, product, and partners, backed by clear rules of engagement.
- A proven pattern capable of generating 9-figure pipeline (as I did at NTT), adapted to your context.
2. Founder & Executive Advisory
Who this is for:
Founders, CEOs, and execs building in AI or infrastructure who need someone who can think across tech + business + architecture + GTM.
What we do together:
- Pressure test your product and technical strategy
- Avoid costly early architecture mistakes
- Build the narrative that resonates with investors and customers
- Act as a fractional Chief Architect + Strategy Partner during critical phases
What you walk away with:
- Clarity captured in decision memos and alignment notes.
- Direction with explicit next steps, owners, and risks called out.
- A deeply senior thought partner who sees around corners.
3. Math-First Engineering (MA) for AI & Platform Teams
Who this is for:
Teams stuck in experimentation mode—trying prompts, patching behavior, chasing failures—instead of building systems that can be trusted.
What we do together:
- Train your team on the Mathematical Autopsy pipeline
- Idea → Math → Proof → Tests → Code
- Rebuild one critical component (memory, routing, scoring, agents) using MA
- Teach your team how to design AI systems with invariants, not intuition
- Leave behind a repeatable playbook they can apply anywhere
What you walk away with:
- A team that designs AI like scientists, not prompt jockeys.
- One fully re-architected component as a living reference implementation, with annotated code and tests.
- A repeatable, enforced pipeline: Idea → Math → Proof → Tests → Code, documented for your team.
- Less chaos, fewer "ghost" failures, and a shared language between research and engineering.
4. Enterprise AI Architecture & System Design (Field-Based, Math-First)
Who this is for:
CTOs, VPs Engineering, Heads of AI, or Principal Architects who need an AI system that is explainable, stable, and provable—not a pile of wrappers, agents, and vibe-coded glue.
What we do together:
- Audit your current AI, LLM, memory, and orchestration stack.
- Identify structural fragility, hidden failure modes, and architectural debt.
- Redesign the system using math-first, field-based principles (RFS, VFE, MAIA, TAI).
- Define clear boundaries between memory, inference, intent, orchestration, and governance.
- Produce an architecture blueprint and migration path your team can actually execute.
What you walk away with:
- An AI system designed like a scientific instrument, not a prototype, with current vs. target architecture diagrams.
- Deterministic, explainable behavior grounded in clear guardrails and governance notes.
- A path from "it works sometimes" → "it works because we can explain and prove it," captured in a migration plan.
5. Memory, Orchestration & Agent System Advisory (Start Here)
Who this is for:
Companies building copilots, agents, or multi-model systems who need something better than "prompt → vector DB → LLM → pray."
What we do together:
- Redesign how your system handles memory (beyond naive vector stores).
- Define orchestration rules, agent coordination, and gating logic.
- Map out intent flow, state, feedback loops, and behavioral controls.
- Build the conceptual foundation for a cognitive OS inside your product.
What you walk away with:
- A more intelligent, predictable system.
- Behavior that can be logged, replayed, audited, and controlled, backed by a logging/replay approach.
- A roadmap to move beyond brittle agent chains into real orchestration, with clear next steps.
- A concrete, minimal starting point if you want to adopt RFS/TAI concepts without a full rebuild, including flow diagrams.
Let's Work Together
If you need someone who can move fluently between math, architecture, and revenue—and hold the whole system in their head at once—this is the work.
The cleanest starting point is a calibration call. From there we can decide whether you need a focused workshop, a full architecture or GTM engagement, or ongoing advisory. If you're not sure which bucket you fall into, reach out and we'll figure it out together.
