In plain terms
- Who it's for
- Companies that want AI to do real work, and have nobody senior to own it.
- How it starts
- A 2-week Assessment for $2,500. You keep the plan.
- The rhythm
- A weekly session with your team. A monthly check-in with leadership. New builds every month.
- What you keep
- Every tool, account and document. I build it all in your accounts.
Why this role exists
Tools get bought. Pilots pile up. Nobody owns the result.
Many companies already pay for AI tools. What they lack is one person whose job is to make those tools pay off.
Salary guides estimate a full-time Head of AI in the US at about $270,000 a year in base pay. Then add benefits and the time it takes to hire.
My retainer starts at $5K a month. You get a senior AI lead every week, without the hire.

Your team learns as we build
Every retainer trains one person on your team to be your AI champion. Each week we take one of your real processes, and they build it with me. By the end, your team runs it without me.
“Dani, I could hug you. I could hug you if you were over here.”
“I'm hooked now… Can we do this again tomorrow?”
“You've been very good about staying macro with me, staying strategic with me, being clear on expectations first.”
“I felt like I had a real partner in the process and technologically and otherwise. His execution was awesome.”
“We see a lot of promises and then when we actually go to a program it doesn't deliver that much, but that's not the case here.”
“In one hour I… it felt like… five years of knowledge in my brain.”
“You have been a great partner in that thinking. You've been very good about staying macro with me, staying strategic with me, being clear on expectations first before we throw ourselves into the project. So I found the right partner that way. I'm really happy about that.”

Questions
Who pays for the AI tools and software?
You do, directly, in your own accounts. You own everything and pay no markup. The Assessment estimates these costs before you commit.
How much of your time do we get?
You get a set rhythm, not a bank of hours. A weekly session with your team, a monthly check-in with leadership, building in between, and replies within one business day. I take only a few retainer clients at a time.
Why not hire a full-time Head of AI?
You may, later. Most companies don't need one five days a week yet. If you hire one, I help write the role, interview candidates and hand over, at no extra fee.
Why a 3-month minimum?
Building and training take a few months to pay off. After three months it's month to month, with 30 days' notice.
Our data is a mess. Is that a problem?
It's normal. The Assessment maps what you have and ranks the work that fits it. Data cleanup is often part of the first builds.
Will you work with our IT team?
Yes. I build in your accounts and follow your security rules. Your IT team can see everything I build.
How do you handle confidential information?
I sign an NDA if you need one. Your data stays in your systems, and I use it only for your work.
What happens when it ends?
You keep everything. You get documentation, access to every account and a handover session. It ends one of three ways. Your AI champion takes over, you hire a full-time AI lead with my help, or you stay month to month.
Tell me what you want AI to do for you.
I'll tell you straight what's worth doing, and what isn't.
