His own gaps early on were marketing, sales and management. His mission now is to help small and medium traditional businesses avoid those same mistakes. He runs his own companies AI-native — agents handle sourcing, quality control and customer acquisition — because he believes business and sales are ultimately human, and AI is the leverage that magnifies what good people already do.
