You get Bruce as your Chief AI Officer with 6 developers and 2 UI/UX designers on your account every day. Strategy, systems, workflows. A full team for a fraction of what hiring in-house would cost. Month to month, no lock-in.
Your team is testing ChatGPT, buying AI tools, running pilots. But nobody owns the roadmap and nothing connects into a plan.
Money is going out on AI subscriptions and vendor demos. Nobody can tell you what came back. The board is starting to ask.
You hear about AI in your industry every week. You read about it, you talk about it, but you have no plan to act on it.

Every number below came from a system Bruce built or rebuilt. 15 years across 9 industries. No theory, no case study from a book.
Bruce built the complete distribution and ordering system for this health products company. Monthly revenue grew from R78k to R1.1M+, with no added headcount. 39 resellers automated through the platform. 91% re-order rate.
A high-ticket US client. 3-person team. After Bruce implemented his 8-week process system, conversion rate nearly doubled (5% to 9.5%) and every team member has hit target for 2 consecutive months.
Bruce built every operational system from the ground up. Annual revenue grew from R14M to R99M over 7 years. The playbook he built there became the framework he now implements for every client.
Running operations for an AI automation agency. Bruce closed R2M in new business across 3 months. Enterprise contracts, mixed industries. He implements AI because he has built with it.
Built the entire distribution and operations system from zero to the number one brand in South Africa over 6 years. Direct-to-consumer and retail channels, built every system and process from scratch.
Grew the platform from 27 to over 40,000 members by redesigning the go-to-market system and pivoting into a different segment. The product did not change. The system around it did.
R4M in closed deals in the first 60 days by implementing a structured acquisition system, with a R22M qualified pipeline built in parallel.
Built the complete pipeline and tracking system. R13M in deals closed with a R85M qualified pipeline running behind it.
Secured long-term supply deals with two municipalities, worth R120M over 3 years.
Landed a supply contract worth R9M per month in recurring revenue. One system, one process, every month.
12 months running the complete commercial system: R25M in closed deals and a R100M pipeline. Direct contact with Zambia's power authority and a quote submitted on Namibia's 100MW solar plant.
Implemented the full training and process system for a South African life insurance company. 1,802 new policies written in 6 weeks.
Over the last 5 years, Bruce has helped more than 50 businesses build the systems they needed to find and convert their first paying customers.
Bruce started on the floor at BTS Electrical and built every system that took the business from R780k to R99M. That took him 7 years. He has since built the same systems across cable, CBD, solar, SaaS, utilities and finance. Nine industries. Four countries. Same framework every time. Each time he strips something out.
7 years. Then 3. Then 2 years 4 months. Then 18 months. Now 4 months.
Today those systems include AI. Not as a buzzword. As a tool inside a framework that has been tested across 15 years and 9 industries.
Bruce audits your operations, technology stack and AI readiness. You get a 90-day plan with the top 10 opportunities ranked by impact.
No obligation to engage after. If we are not the right fit, you keep the plan. If we are, we build the engagement around what your audit surfaced. No fixed packages.
Every engagement is built from what your audit surfaces.
Bruce in the seat as your Chief AI Officer. Strategy, prioritisation, weekly working session with you and your team.
Which AI tools to implement, in what order, and why. Every initiative tied to a business metric.
AI connected to your existing tools, CRM, processes. Not another standalone app nobody uses.
Which workflows AI should automate, which it should augment, and which it should leave alone.
Which AI tools fit your business, which are burning money, and which you should build versus buy.
Responsible use, data privacy, compliance. A framework that keeps you covered as regulations tighten.
Your people need to use it. Hands-on training for your team, not a webinar they forget by Friday.
If you cannot measure it, it did not happen. Every initiative tied to a number you can verify.
Your audit tells us which of these your business needs.
Request your auditA Chief AI Officer who owns your AI strategy and implementation on a monthly retainer instead of landing on your payroll full-time. You get senior AI leadership, systems implementation and governance, without the two-year hiring risk or HR overhead. Bruce comes with a trained team on your account from day one.
Owners of businesses that know AI should be part of their operation but have no one leading it. You are buying AI tools, running experiments, hearing about competitors using AI, but nothing is connecting into a real strategy. If you have been meaning to hire someone to lead this for the last 12 months and nothing has landed, this is for you.
You can. A full-time CAIO takes 4 to 6 months to find and you carry the hiring risk. The good ones cost R4.3M to R9M a year before incentives. A Chief AI Officer starts next month, has a track record you can verify in advance, and runs month to month. If you decide later you want someone in-house, Bruce helps you hire and train them.
Every engagement is built from your audit. Scope ranges from AI strategy and governance at the smallest end through to running your entire AI transformation at the top. Investment is quoted against your scope on the audit call. Month to month, no contract.
Every client gets Bruce as the strategic lead plus a dedicated implementation team: 6 developers and 2 UI/UX designers working on your account. On larger engagements, specialists on AI integration, workflow design and governance join the team. You get a full department at a fraction of what it would cost to hire in-house.
No. Month to month from day one. If it is not working you walk with no severance.
He works in your business hours on calls with your team. He already does this for teams across Africa, the USA and Canada.
No. Bruce works with the tools you already have. AI layers on top of your existing systems, not instead of them. If something needs replacing, your audit will surface it.
Not usually. Most businesses do not need custom models. They need the right tools implemented correctly into workflows that people actually use. Where custom development is needed, we bring in specialist partners. The value is in the implementation, not the model.
What we promise is the work itself: a clear AI strategy, disciplined implementation, and one honest report on what is working. Results also depend on your product, market and team, so we will not promise a number we cannot control. If the audit shows AI is not the right move for your business right now, we will say so on the discovery call.
