Consulting

Consulting for AI systems, operations, automations and the business itself.

I've sat in every seat in several million-dollar companies now, from the CEO to COO, CTO, CRO, CMO.

01What I consult on

AI systems, Operations, Automations, Business consulting

  1. AI systems

    Automations, agents, encoded best practice, built on one source of truth your company owns.

    • Work that runs without a person. The part you actually want, and the only layer that can't be built first.
    • The industry sells Layer 3 to companies that never built Layers 1 and 2. Automations on dirty data, with nothing to see them fail.
  2. Operations

    One source of truth your company owns, and the cockpit your team works in.

    • Every order, contact, quote, and invoice in one database, full history migrated in. Most companies have never had this.
    • One place where every department sees the same numbers and does its actual work.
  3. Automations

    If it works, it deserves automation.

    • Automating a broken process doesn't fix it. It makes you wrong faster.
    • We won't build you Layer 3 before Layer 1 exists. That's not a preference, it's the reason this works.
  4. Business consulting

    Top-level business consulting from someone who has sat in every seat.

    • Strategy, architecture, vendor calls.
    • Most fractional CTOs manage and recommend. We ship. Strategy and execution in one seat.

    One source of truth, the tools around it, and the agents on top.

04How it runs

Map. Build. Run.

  1. Map

    Two weeks inside your operation. What leaks, what it costs, what to build first, and what each fix is worth.

  2. Build

    One source of truth, then the cockpit, then the automation. Fixed price against a written brief. First working demo in days.

  3. Run

    We run what we build: outside monitoring, weekly ship notes, a monthly savings ledger.

In the room

The work starts in a room like this.

  • A working roundtable, notebooks open, in front of an 'I am a CEO' banner
  • A speaker on stage, arms raised, facing a packed hall on its feet
  • A large group of attendees, arms up, in a group photo after a session

05In their words

What the people I build with say.

Rob is a transformative force in all things business, but specifically when it comes to identifying bottlenecks and developing systems. If you want to increase your revenue, and need a reliable human to build the machine, Rob is a must-have on your team.

Ryan RobertsRyan RobertsCo-Founder @ Alchemy Executive

Rob has completely transformed the way my agency operates. He walked us through defining our core processes, showed us what needed to go, and helped set up AI automations that have seriously freed up our team to focus on growth. Knowing Rob, he'll overdeliver.
