AI Counsel · Executive Advisory

Helping AI Leaders Think.

I work with the people leading AI inside their organizations — executives, AI leads, and the advisors carrying the mandate — helping them make clearer decisions and lead the change with confidence.

She is exactly who you need in your corner. Highly, highly recommended.

Why me

I build with AI every day. Agents, workflows, operations, marketing — all of it inside my own business.

I'm in it. I know what's real, what's hype, and what's around the corner.

I bridge conversations between:

  • The C-suite and the IT team
  • The technical and the non-technical
  • The enthusiasts and the skeptics

Watching her facilitate those meetings is something special… a masterclass in what inclusive leadership actually looks like.

The role

Your newest counsel. Maybe your most important.

You're the one everyone turns to on AI. So who do you turn to when something smells a bit ‘off’?


Every function with real stakes has a seat for this: legal has outside counsel, finance has the auditor, the board has its advisors. AI's seat is still empty at most tables.

That's the seat I fill — confidential, retained, and no stake except your clarity. Bring the strategy, the vendor pitch, the question you can’t ask out loud anywhere else. I'll think it through with you, push back where it matters, and pressure-test the plan.

Why “maybe your most important”? Because every major decision you make this decade will have an AI dimension.

I'm someone to think with.

Angie has a gift that's hard to explain until you've seen it in action.

The engagement

What this looks like in practice.

There are two ways people work with me. A standing retainer, or a single-goal project. We'll figure out what makes sense in the first conversation.

First, we talk. No charge, nothing to prepare. We figure out the one or two decisions that are right in front of you... maybe the ones keeping you up at night. Once those are on the table, the rest sorts itself out pretty quickly.

From there it goes one of two ways.

Either — a standing retainer
ongoing, month to month

We put a working session on the calendar every month, and in between you can just send me things — the vendor pitch you're not sure about, the board question, the one you'd rather not ask your team. Every quarter or so we zoom out and look at what's changed.


Usually the right fit when AI decisions keep landing on your desk and there's no one around to think them through with.

Or — a single-goal project
scoped, with an end

Sometimes it's one goal with a date attached — the policy, the readiness assessment, the plan you're presenting to the board in November. Usually six to ten weeks. We scope it in that first conversation.


Probably the right fit if there's one decision in front of you with a date attached to it.

What sets Angie apart is her ability to navigate the middle ground between fear of AI and reckless enthusiasm.
