Top Enterprise AI Strategist | Ontological Architect | Keynote Speaker

Hi, I’m Michael—an AI transformation leader trusted by global enterprises across telecommunications, energy, oil & gas, automotive, and beyond. As a keynote speaker at global conferences like Mobile World Congress and Visma AI, and the creator of the Executive AI Operating System, I help C-suites and enterprise teams transition from AI-curious to AI-first. What I Deliver: • Enterprise AI Strategy & Execution I’ve deployed over $50M in AI solutions for some of the world’s most complex industries. From AI bootcamps to agent deployment pipelines, I design systems that move beyond pilots and deliver real-world impact at scale. • Ontological Frameworks & AI Architecture I’m a recognized leader in ontological AI frameworks and multi-agent systems—the critical infrastructure behind scalable, interoperable AI in the enterprise. My work translates messy legacy environments into structured AI-ready systems that drive decisions, not just dashboards. • AI Operating Models for Leadership Teams I don’t just build models—I rewire how organizations operate. The Executive AI OS helps senior leaders unlock agentic leverage, streamline strategic planning, and orchestrate AI teams to outperform traditional org charts. • AI Culture & Workforce Transformation AI is not a tool—it’s a behavior change. I help companies instill AI-first rituals, redesign org design around microteams (1 human + AI), and embed decision automation at every layer of the business. ⸻ Why Enterprise Leaders Hire Me: • Cross-Industry Credibility: From telcos to oil & gas, I’ve worked across high-stakes sectors where AI success demands not just tech fluency—but domain precision. • Executive-Level Thinking: As a Portfolio CEO myself, I bring a rare blend of technical depth and boardroom strategy. I speak the language of both data models and enterprise value. • Systemic Change, Not Theater: I reject surface-level AI. My engagements create enduring capabilities: ontologies, agents, and operating models that evolve with your business. ⸻ Let’s Architect Your AI Advantage If you’re ready to move beyond the hype and build something real—systems, strategy, and culture that give your business an exponential edge—let’s talk. “AI is not the future. It’s the leverage. The best human in the world at any task is now the human-AI microteam.”
