Founder & CEO, Versai Labs | Helping Founders Run Companies That Don't Break
I specialize in
“3 decades of COO work, distilled into one direct conversation.”
Background & Highlights
Three decades building companies that run. Not just ones that launch. I have been a COO inside tech, nonprofit, media, and marketing companies. Fifteen-plus startups and growth companies. I have seen what happens when execution slows, when teams stop aligning, and when the systems underneath a company start to crack. I know how to read those signals early and fix what is actually broken. Right now I am founder and CEO of Versai Labs, where we build DataWell, a system intelligence platform that works like an MRI for your infrastructure. It maps everything running underneath your company so you can see problems before they cost you. I also co-founded Press Rocket, a demand generation agency. Both companies run on agentic infrastructure, meaning AI agents handling real business functions, not prototypes. I built that from scratch and I know how to help you think through it for your company. What I actually bring to a session: ✓ COO experience across 15+ tech startups and growth companies ✓ Four NSF grants for an edtech IP built on applied ML and systems design ✓ Agentic business infrastructure, built and running across multiple companies ✓ Digital workforce strategy, integrating AI into how teams actually operate ✓ Behavior Driven Development (BDD), a method that defines what your system should do before anyone writes a line of code or sets a single KPI That last one matters more than it sounds. BDD is how you stop building things that work technically but fail operationally. Most companies skip it. That is usually why things break. Founders bring me in when decisions get slow, teams lose alignment, or the company is growing faster than the systems underneath it. We focus on one real problem per session. You leave with clarity and next steps you can actually use. If you are building something real and want to run it like you know what you are doing, book a session.
