AI Project Paralysis

Your AI Project Has Been "90% Done" for 6 Months

I help companies break through AI project paralysis and ship in 3-6 weeks—not prototypes, not demos, but real products with real users getting real value.

3-6 Weeks

From chaos to shipped product

100% Ship Rate

Code in production, not stuck in 'testing'

70% Less Waste

No more endless experiments going nowhere

Discover Your Path

Sound Familiar?

Your team is brilliant. The technology works. But somehow, you're still stuck in:

Endless experiments that "just need one more week"

Requirements that shift every sprint

Demos that wow execs but never reach users

Data scientists and engineers speaking different languages

"We need more data" becoming the excuse for never launching

The VP asking "when will this actually ship?" in every meeting

You're not alone—and it's not your fault.

Three Clear Paths

Most companies think they need "an AI strategy."

What they actually need is one of three things—and we figure out which one in the first conversation.

1

We built AI but nobody's using it

Adoption Strategy Framework

This is you if:

  • You have a working prototype or beta
  • Usage is < 20% of what you expected
  • People say "it's interesting" but don't actually use it
  • You're not sure if it's a product problem or change management problem

What We Do:

  • Diagnose resistance
  • Design gradual rollout
  • Measure real behavior change

Outcome:

90-day adoption playbook

Timeline:

8-12 weeks

2

We want to build AI but don't know what

V1 Scoping Framework

This is you if:

  • You have data but don't know what to do with it
  • Every AI idea feels "too big" or "too small"
  • You're paralyzed by choice—too many possibilities
  • You need to prove AI value before bigger investments

What We Do:

  • Find the ONE question your data can answer
  • Design the transition
  • Set realistic metrics

Outcome:

Scoped V1 feature with launch strategy

Timeline:

4-6 weeks

3

We're thinking about AI

AI Readiness Assessment

This is you if:

  • You're hearing "we need AI" but don't know where to start
  • You're worried your data isn't "good enough"
  • You want to avoid expensive AI mistakes
  • You need a reality check before committing resources

What We Do:

  • Audit your data
  • Evaluate user readiness
  • Identify where you can actually win

Outcome:

Clear 'yes, here's where' or 'no, fix these 3 things first'

Timeline:

2-4 weeks

What Makes This Different

Most consultants sell you "AI transformation."
I solve the actual problem you have right now.

Here's what I don't do:

200-page strategy decks you'll never implement

"Roadmaps" with no accountability for shipping

Workshops that end with "homework" for your team

Vendor pitches disguised as consulting

Here's what I do:

Ship working code in 3-6 weeks

Work alongside your team, not above them

Make decisions fast, cut scope ruthlessly

Leave with something in production, not a PowerPoint

My only success metric: Did we ship?

The AI PM Dude

I help companies ship AI products that actually work—no hype, just results.

I Build AI Products That Actually Work

For over a decade, I've been in the trenches building data-centric and AI-powered products across enterprise organizations and SaaS platforms.

I've led the full stack: managing cross-functional teams of 32+ people, overseeing $5M annual budgets, and shipping products from concept to scale. My work spans AI-enhanced search aggregating data across multiple repositories, machine learning platforms serving Fortune 50 organizations, and unified product ecosystems driving 100% usage growth.

The technical side: I've architected scalable data pipelines, integrated disparate systems, migrated legacy platforms to modern microservices, and built governance frameworks for regulated environments.

The leadership side: I've managed the budgets, negotiated vendor contracts, collaborated with data science teams, and sat with users to understand what they actually need.

What makes me different: I sit at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy. I speak both languages—engineers trust my technical judgment, and executives trust me to deliver on commitments.

Most AI projects fail not because of bad technology, but because of unclear use cases, poor data foundations, or teams trying to build everything at once. I help companies avoid these pitfalls and ship iteratively.

I also founded Product Manager Hub, a growing community platform where I share frameworks and best practices for AI product management—staying connected to what's working across the industry.

My approach is simple: Start with clarity, build the right foundation, ship the MVP, and iterate based on real usage. No hype, no endless strategy decks—just shipping products that work.

The Real Cost of Waiting

Your team's time:

If 3 engineers + 1 PM are spending 50% of their time on a project that's not shipping...

That's $75K/month

in fully loaded costs going nowhere.

Your opportunity cost:

Every quarter you delay = competitors shipping, customers expecting more, and your technical debt compounding.

Industry data backs this up:

87%

of AI projects fail to reach production

(MIT Sloan Management Review)

$1.3M

average cost of failed AI initiatives

(Deloitte AI Institute)

18

months average time to first AI deployment

(McKinsey Global Institute)

73%

of companies report AI project delays

(Gartner Research)

The good news?

You can ship in 6 weeks instead of 6 months.
