AI Advisory with Michael

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how companies operate, compete, and create value. Most leadership teams recognize the urgency — but struggle to translate that recognition into a coherent strategy, a prioritized roadmap, or measurable results.

The challenge is rarely the technology. It is the decision-making around it: where to start, what to prioritize, how to build internal capability, and how to separate genuine opportunity from noise.

I advise executives and leadership teams on AI strategy and implementation — with a particular depth in AI adoption within finance functions. My perspective is grounded in active executive leadership as CFO of a large enterprise and as an AI Project Lead, combined with hands-on experience designing AI use cases, evaluating AI readiness, and leading implementation across finance and business operations.

The objective is practical clarity — not theoretical frameworks, not vendor pitches — but structured, decision-ready direction that leadership teams can act on immediately.

What I Help Leadership Teams With

My AI advisory work typically focuses on:

• AI strategy development and executive alignment

• AI readiness assessment across the organization and the finance function

• Use case identification, prioritization, and business case development

• AI implementation planning and execution governance

• Finance function AI adoption — FP&A, reporting, forecasting, controls

• AI tool and vendor evaluation frameworks

• Change management and capability building for AI adoption

• Risk, governance, and responsible AI considerations

Typical Situations Where I Add Value

I am particularly effective when organizations are facing:

• Early-stage AI strategy questions and leadership alignment challenges

• Finance functions that are exploring or beginning AI adoption

• Uncertainty about where to start or how to prioritize AI investment

• Pressure to demonstrate AI ROI without a structured framework

• Implementation stalls or adoption challenges mid-program

• Board or investor questions about AI strategy and execution readiness
