AI advisor · Toronto

Get real value from the AI tools you already pay for.

Private sessions and advisory for executives and leadership teams in Toronto. I build each program from the guidance Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic publish for their own tools, then apply it to the work your business does every week.

Who this is for

For leaders who know AI matters and haven't found the time to get good at it

This works well if:

Your company already pays for Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude, and you suspect most people use it like a search box.
You've sat through an AI presentation and left without knowing what to do on Monday.
You'd rather learn privately than in front of your team.
Your leadership team needs to make a decision about AI and doesn't agree on it yet.

It's not the right fit if you need custom software built, or a keynote for a large audience.

The problem

Most AI training is generic. Your business isn't.

Generic courses teach prompts on made-up examples. Vendor demos show the product at its best. Neither tells you which of your own tasks AI should handle, which it shouldn't, and what to check before you rely on the answer.

I work the other way round. We start with your calendar, your documents and the decisions in front of you, and practise on those.

Work together

Three ways to start

Executive AI Sessions

CAD 2,500

Four private 90-minute sessions for you, or for you and up to four colleagues.

We pick the tasks in your week where AI saves the most time
You practise on your own research, writing, analysis and meeting prep
We test one real workflow from your business, end to end
You finish with a short list of what to do next, and what to leave alone

You leave every session with something you can use the next day.

Leadership AI Workshop

CAD 4,000

A prepared half-day for a leadership team or board with one decision to make.

Before: a short interview with the sponsor and a review of relevant documents
During: a facilitated working session on your options (buy, build, or wait), costs and risks
After: a written decision memo with priorities, owners and next steps

Ongoing AI Advisory

CAD 2,500 per month

For companies putting AI into practice after the first sessions.

One priority at a time, agreed in writing
Two working calls a month and direct access between them
A monthly advice note on progress, risks and what to do next
Help with the adoption work: who owns AI, how to train the rest of the team, how to tell whether it's working

Three-month minimum, then month to month.

All prices in Canadian dollars, plus HST. Building custom software is quoted separately.

How it works

What the four sessions cover

01What AI is good at in your business.Where it saves time, where it makes mistakes, and what company information should stay out of it.
02Better everyday work.Writing, research, analysis and meeting preparation, practised on your own material.
03One real workflow.We take a task your team does every week and test how much of it AI can handle, using your examples.
04What to do next.What to roll out, what to delegate to AI agents, what to drop, and what to tell your team.

Each session works in the tools you already use. If your company runs on Microsoft 365, we use Copilot. If you use ChatGPT or Gemini, we use those.

Recent work

Client names are kept private unless a client agrees otherwise.

A 60-year-old manufacturer of oil and gas tools.

This started as private sessions with the CEO and grew into four leadership sessions and ongoing advisory. We mapped a quoting process of 50 to 60 quotes a month, many with more than 100 line items, to the steps AI can take over. When the company considered entering aerospace, my assessment recommended against it as a first move, and we looked at better-fitting markets instead.

A new electronics manufacturer commissioning a 31-machine production line.

Before the CEO signed an ERP contract, I reviewed the proposal and flagged five risks, including customisations nobody had priced and no clear plan for connecting the factory-floor systems.

A leadership team preparing for a first meeting with a major automotive customer.

The training was built around that meeting. The team practised on the real customer research and left with two working AI assistants, one for meeting preparation and one for marketing content.

About me

I came to AI from sales, not software. For the last four years I've led global accounts for an export manufacturer, managing retail partnerships worth more than $3 million a year with major retailers in the US and UK. I built an AI design tool for that business that cut design time by 35%.

Since early 2026 I've advised the CEOs of two manufacturers on how to use AI in their companies, from executive sessions to reviewing technology contracts before signature.

I studied business at the University of Waterloo and I'm based in Toronto.

Credentials

How I work

Independent.

I don't resell software. I'll recommend the tools you already have before suggesting anything new.

Private.

What we discuss stays between us. I don't name clients without permission, and I'm happy to sign your NDA.

Built on the vendors' own guidance.

Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic each publish detailed guidance on using their tools well. I keep up with it so you don't have to, and turn it into practice for your business.

Clear terms.

Fixed prices, written scope, and no open-ended hours.

Questions

Do I need to be technical?

No. The sessions are for business leaders. You won't write code.

Which AI tools do you work with?

Whichever ones your company already uses: Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Claude.

Is this in person or online?

Either. In person in Toronto, or by video anywhere in Canada.

Can I start with one session?

The four sessions are sold together, because the value comes from practising over a few weeks. The 20-minute call is free and will tell you whether it's worth it.

What happens after the four sessions?

Many clients stop there with a clear plan. Others move to monthly advisory to put that plan into practice.

How do I pay?

By invoice, in Canadian dollars, plus HST. Half up front and half on completion for the sessions and workshop; monthly in advance for advisory.
