I find where AI creates real leverage in your business — in your product, your workflows, your team — then I make sure it gets built. Not with a slide deck. By showing up and doing it with you.
Your board is asking about your AI strategy. Your engineers are curious but stretched thin. You've seen the demos but can't connect them to your actual workflows and revenue drivers.
You don't need a 6-month "AI strategy" from a consulting firm. You need someone who's done this before — at KKR, at MLB, at scale — to show up, identify the highest-leverage opportunities, and start building.
I'm Drew Mehta. Twenty years of shipping AI-powered products at institutions that don't tolerate slide decks — KKR (GenAI due diligence agent), MLB (fan engagement platform), Code3 ($2M analytics revenue), New Stand (consumer media). Now I work with a handful of growth-stage companies as a fractional chief AI officer.
That means I sit in your meetings, scope your features, find where AI moves your most important numbers, and help your team ship — in weeks, not months.
I embed with your team for a week. Audit every workflow, identify the highest-leverage AI opportunities, scope the first quick win, and start building it. You walk away with a prioritized roadmap and something already working.
~8 hours a week of institutional-grade judgment in your corner. Product and engineering meetings, feature scoping, AI integrations, roadmap gut-checks. The experienced operator you can't justify hiring full-time — until you can.
Got a specific outcome? A new AI feature, an internal tool, a workflow that needs rebuilding around LLMs. I scope it tight, build it fast, ship it in weeks — not months.
I know what to build, what to cut, and how to ship it in weeks instead of months. I've done zero-to-one more times than most people have done zero — at institutions that measure outcomes in millions.
Not theory. I run AI-powered products daily — engineering workflows, automation, internal tooling. I know what creates real leverage and what's hype dressed up in a demo.
Most delays aren't technical — they're indecision. I make the calls other people committee to death. My job is to move your most important numbers, not to look busy doing it.
No decks. No frameworks. No 90-day discovery phase.
I show up, I help, and things get shipped. If I'm not adding obvious value within the first engagement, fire me. No long-term contracts. No guilt.
The goal is to make myself unnecessary — to transfer enough judgment and systems to your team that you don't need me anymore. That's how I know it worked.
30-minute call. No pitch. Just figuring out if there's a fit.
