Who this is for
You need a commercial operator in the room.
You run the company. You need someone who has sold, built a team, and spent a decade turning a vague mandate into a decision the business can run. That mandate can be AI, innovation, or sales.
I take a fractional seat as your AI, Innovation, or Sales Officer. I set the plan with you, decide what is worth building, choose who builds it, and help you hire or rent the team that works inside your company. When you need someone to sell for you, I will. I take the narrative, the pipeline, and the rooms where budget gets approved, and I will represent you until your own team can run the motion.
Founder
Christopher Dole.
I work from Columbus and travel when the work requires it.
For nearly twelve years, I co-founded and commercially led an applied AI firm that grew from a startup into a 120-person practice. The work was with mid-market, Fortune 1000, and Global 2000 companies spanning retail, manufacturing, insurance, procurement, and supply chain. This included establishing multi-year partnerships on problems like forecasting, procurement, fraud, and operations, turned into outcomes leaders could defend. Before that, I ran business development for a 250-person technology consultancy and was top-ranked in sales at two Fortune 1000 companies.
I have sold and stayed through delivery with companies from about $10 million a year through the Fortune 500. The through-line is the same: read the room, earn trust fast, translate complexity for people who do not care about the tech, and move an interesting idea to an approved budget with someone accountable for ROI.
The job is to make the work practical, measurable, and owned by the business, not parked in a lab. If that is the seat you need, write me.
