USAEDC Forum Speaking in Baltimore, Wednesday November 18, 4:00 PM. Superpowers for Cooperators. Session details

AI consulting for established organizations

Less busywork. More buyers.

I help established organizations use AI where it pays. Inside: the reports, research, and admin that eat your team's week, done in minutes. Outside: when buyers ask ChatGPT who to call, your name comes up.

My work doesn't replace your people. It gives them superpowers.

What I do

AI consulting services: four ways to work with me


01

AI automation audit

Two weeks, one workflow. I find where your team's hours go, and which reports and data nobody can reach. Then I set up one workflow on your own data, so you see it working before you commit to more. You keep it, plus a written plan for what comes next.

How the audit works

02

AI search visibility (GEO)

Pew Research found that 44 percent of US adults now use ChatGPT, more than double the share in 2023. More buyers ask AI instead of Google. I find out whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google name you, who they name instead, and which sources they trust. Then you get a fix list, easiest wins first.

See if AI names you

03

AI sales audit

Fewer buyers find you through Google now. I check where your pipeline comes from, fix the email setup that gets outreach blocked, and build one AI outbound workflow your team runs, with a person checking every message.

04

Fractional Chief AI Officer

I join your leadership team part time and run AI across the organization: strategy, building, getting people to use it, and handing it over to your team.

Why Duess Strategies

Most consultants either can't read a room or read a codebase. I do both.

Operators, not advisors

I've built, scaled, and sold businesses. When I advise on implementation, it's from having done it, not from having read about it.

Technically fluent

I understand the technology well enough to know what's real and what's a sales pitch. I build with it every week. On the side, I co-founded FishDog, a synthetic research platform.

Deep in food and tech

My twenties at the cutting edge of technology with Google, Cisco, and others. My thirties building one of North America's most successful food and agriculture marketing agencies.

Agricultural export organizations

AI for agricultural export organizations on MAP and RAPP funding.

Duess Strategies is a USAEDC member, and I'm currently embedded as fractional Chief AI Officer with a member cooperator. Market intelligence in seven languages, answers from the organization's own data, years of field reporting made searchable.

Let's talk

It starts with a conversation.

Whether you want to automate the reporting, get found in AI search, bring in a part-time Chief AI Officer, or book a keynote speaker.

I've been bringing new technology to market for thirty years. I was part of the team that launched Cisco Systems' global marketing campaigns in Europe. As Creative Director, my job was making sure we built share value in every market. I was also on the teams that launched Google Ads in Europe and Autonomy, one of the first AI software companies. They taught me how a new technology goes from the pitch to a normal working week.
