Not only am I a fractional CMO, I am your strategic bridge between human intent and AI execution 🤝 I’m certified with Google AI and I’m an expert at Claude Cowork and Claude Code If your business is doing $1M+, but your growth has hit a ceiling, you don’t have a talent problem. You have a "Human Glue" problem, the manual, repetitive, and fragile processes that require your best people to act like data-entry clerks just to keep the lights on. I am Mike Volkin. I am a Business Modernizer. I help CEOs and Founders replace operational chaos with autonomous AI pipelines. With a track record of building, scaling, and exiting six companies, I don't just "implement AI tools", I engineer enterprise value. 🏢Why Mid-Market CEOs hire me: Margin Protection: I identify the "invisible leaks" where manual labor is eating your profits. We replace $150k/year administrative overhead with $50/month automation loops. The Founder’s Exit: Most companies aren't sellable because the "system" is in the founder's head. I document and automate your tribal knowledge, turning your business into a turnkey asset. Operational Speed: I build "Centralized AI Knowledge Bases" where your team can find any answer in 5 seconds, not 5 hours. Battle-Tested Leadership: As an Army veteran, I bring military-grade precision to your tech stack. We modernize without breaking what’s already working. 🥇My "Modernization" Framework: The AI Readiness Audit: A deep dive into your current marketing and operations tech stack to find your biggest automation opportunities. The Automation Roadmap: A strategic blueprint for replacing "Human Glue" with autonomous AI agents. Deployment & Governance: Building and overseeing the implementation of custom AI workflows that run 24/7 with 0% error rates. 🚫What I am NOT: I am not a generalist developer or a "prompt engineer." I am a fractional AI and automation strategist for CEOs who realize that "doing things the way we've always done them" is the fastest way to become a dinosaur. Skills: -AI Strategy & Consulting -Business Process Automation -Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) -Business Process Mapping -Operations Management -Generative AI Implementation -Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) -Workflow Optimization -Exit Strategy & Sellability -No-Code Automation (Make, Zapier) 🦸Strategic Fractional CMO: Bridging Marketing & Modern Operations Most companies don't have a marketing problem—they have a "Leaky Bucket" problem. They spend thousands on traffic only for those leads to die in a manual, fragmented sales process. As a Fractional CMO with six successful exits, I don't just focus on top-of-funnel vanity metrics. I focus on Revenue Operations (RevOps). I modernize your entire marketing department by integrating AI and automation into your sales funnels, ensuring that every dollar spent on growth is captured by a high-efficiency machine. When I step in as your Fractional CMO, I take full ownership of your growth strategy and the systems that power it. From architecting AI-driven lead nurturing sequences to optimizing your CAC/LTV ratios, I ensure your marketing isn't just a "cost center," but a predictable, scalable asset. I provide the high-level leadership of a full-time executive at a fraction of the cost, allowing your company to modernize its growth engine while you stay focused on the big picture.

What I do for cannabis clients: 🌿 Marketing Strategy and CMO Leadership Build and execute revenue-driven marketing roadmaps. Lead your team without the cost of a full-time hire. Vendor management, campaign planning, and cross-functional leadership. 🌿 Brand Development and Graphic Design Cannabis packaging, brand identity, logos, dispensary signage, print collateral, promotional materials, and branded apparel and swag. I understand what resonates with cannabis consumers and what gets flagged by compliance. 🌿 Project Management From campaign launches to dispensary openings, I keep complex, multi-stakeholder projects on time, on budget, and on brand. I use Asana, Monday, ClickUp, and Trello. 🌿 Email and SMS Marketing Strategy and execution across Mailchimp, AIQ, Constant Contact, and MailerLite.
