Your team, minus the busywork.

Duess Strategies builds AI that handles what buries your people: reports that assemble themselves, answers pulled from your own data in seconds, the flood of information cut down to what matters. It doesn't replace your people. It gives them superpowers. Same team, better output.

Why Duess Strategies

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 co-founded a synthetic research platform that runs studies in 14 countries, and I still prototype, test, and evaluate what engineering teams build. Most consultants either can't read a room or can't read a codebase. I do both.

Deep in food and tech

I spent my twenties at the cutting edge of technology, working with Google, Cisco, and others. I spent my thirties building one of North America's most successful food and agriculture marketing agencies. Now I bring both to bear on the same problems.

Get your team's time back from admin

Export development organizations run on data scattered across everything. Market reports in spreadsheets, files in Dropbox, contacts in Zoho, years of in-market reporting buried in email and in people's heads. Underneath it all sits the reporting itself: UES activity, FAS deliverables, the admin that swallows weeks of staff time a year.

I'm currently embedded as fractional Chief AI Officer with a USAEDC-member cooperator. The work so far:

A market-intelligence pipeline that watches hundreds of sources in seven languages and surfaces the handful that matter, so nobody loses a day a week to reading the news
A way to ask a plain-language question and get an answer straight from the organization's own data, instead of hunting through drives, spreadsheets, and inboxes for it
Years of scattered field reporting pulled into a single searchable, mapped record of where the organization has been and what it learned

None of it replaces your people. It gives them superpowers: the same small team you have now, freed from the admin that used to swallow whole weeks.

The tools underneath are AI. You don't have to care about that. What you'll notice is fewer hours lost to hunting for data and filing reports.

Duess Strategies is a USAEDC member. If your organization runs on MAP or RAPP funding, a small team, and institutional knowledge nobody can search, this is the work I do.
