We help revenue leaders: \- Identify the "Hidden Leak": Stop your sales reps from doing unpaid technical discovery and compounding CAC\. \- Avoid the Commodity Trap: Prevent high\-volume inference from being quietly routed to cheaper models post\-signature via AI Gateways\. \- Reframe the Sales Motion: Shift the conversation from "AI capabilities" to "data\-readiness architecture" early in the sales cycle\. We don't do generic consulting decks\. We deploy targeted, autonomous research engines that give your team the exact Challenger insights they need to maintain leverage, disqualify tire\-kickers, and close at scale\. - **Client Liaison & Business Performance Advisor at Insperity** (2019\-11\-01–2025\-12\-01) — Provide guidance, support and assistance to Startup Founders, Entrepreneurs, CEOs and CFOs of the best small businesses within Northern California to gain a competitive advantage through their human capital strategy\.
