About
Most enterprises know AI is important. Budgets are approved. Leadership talks about it. Teams run pilots. Yet months later, very little in the business actually changes. AI becomes a presentation topic instead of a real business lever. This is the gap I’ve spent the last decade working in. I began my career at Apple before moving to Tencent, where I helped expand WeChat’s overseas market. I later spent four years at TikTok, building market expansion teams across regions where AI, automation, and commerce were part of daily execution, not future plans. Being inside some of the world’s fastest-scaling tech companies showed me something many organisations still struggle with today: AI only creates value when it is tied directly to revenue, operations, and execution. Today, as the founder of The AI Capitol, I work with enterprise leadership and operating teams to design revenue-driven go-to-market and operational systems powered by AI. My work focuses on helping organisations move from AI curiosity to AI execution, and ultimately to AI accountability, where automation, workflows, and teams are aligned to measurable business outcomes. I am also a bestselling author of The AI Selling Revolution, The AI Marketing Revolution, and The AI Agent Revolution, where I share practical frameworks for embedding AI into sales, marketing, and automation in ways that produce real results. If you are part of an enterprise team trying to figure out where AI should start, how it should be implemented, and how it can drive meaningful impact across your organisation, I’d be glad to have a conversation.
