Building the transformation engine from zero
A pre-seed AI company needed to pivot from selling basic workforce intelligence to something sharper: identifying where and how to embed AI and agentic workflows to actually transform how a business operates. The product, the proof, and the path to customers all had to be defined more or less from scratch.
Operating as interim Head of Transformation, I shaped the MVP and personalized it toward real customer needs; defined the base set of OKRs and KPIs the product would track to initiate and measure AI transformation; and built out the process for developing the sales material used to engage prospective customers. In practice, I de-risked the product-and-proof side of the business so the founder could stay focused on outreach and the raise.
