A personal message from our founder
You don't need to start from scratch. The hard-won skills and experience you already have translate perfectly to working with AI, and I can show you how to apply them effectively.
I'm Gary C., and if you're here, you're exploring how AI fits into your business.
I've been where you are. Using AI in my own businesses has saved us time and money and helped us grow, and I learned through continuous learning and trial and error what works and what to avoid. That hard-won experience means you get there faster, with fewer wrong turns.
I wrote my first code at age 10 in the 80s on a computer I built with my dad. Back then there were no mobile phones, no Internet, and just a handful of TV channels. Since then I've witnessed every major paradigm shift: personal computers, the Internet, social media. AI is on another level, its arrival is unlike anything before, and a shift none of us can afford to ignore. Each shift taught me that early adopters who move with intentionality consistently outperform those who wait. AI follows the same pattern, just faster.
I've lived and worked in sixteen countries across five continents, and that breadth of experience makes me better at meeting people where they are. I've sat across the table from every kind of leader, in every kind of business, and my goal is always the same: make AI practical and approachable, so you gain clear choices and the confidence to move forward.
Let's put AI to work for you.
The through-line
I started coding at 10.
Royal Air Force — a decade in military electronics, telecoms, cryptography, and secure communications. Physical systems where mistakes aren't theoretical. Started my own company after leaving in 1997.
Silicon Valley. 8 years as a member of technical staff coding at Juniper Networks. Then Systems Engineering Director at Cyan.
Moved to Asia and transitioned into sales — not because I stopped being technical, but because I could sit in front of a CEO, CTO or CISO and explain the technology in terms that closed deals. MD Sales, VP Sales (three times), CRO — building entire sales organisations from zero. Always deep-tech companies: networking infrastructure, enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, AI.
Today I run AI advisories, I train leaders, I build AI applications, and I serve as a fractional AI executive.
Most AI consultants are one thing: technical people who can't explain it to a boardroom, or business people who've never built anything, or trainers teaching from slides they didn't write. I've closed enterprise deals, I train executive cohorts from my own material, and I build production-ready AI applications. That's why the consulting, the training, and the leadership all carry weight.
