Speaking · Stuart Kerr

AI that shows up on the P&L, from the operator's chair.

Talks and panels for CFOs, COOs, boards and private-equity operating partners: how to scope one AI workflow to a number, have it running in about eight weeks, and know whether it worked. No vendor content, no slides about the future.

Two IPOs · Fleetmatics' $2.4B sale to Verizon · five board seats

Talk topics

Four sessions, each built on a measured case.

Every talk uses only results we have published, with the method behind them. Formats: 20-minute keynote, 45-minute session with Q&A, panel, or a closed-door working session for a leadership team or portfolio.

01 · For CFOs and COOs

Scope an AI project to a P&L number

The four-input formula (people, hours, loaded cost, measured share), why borrowed benchmarks sink business cases, and the afternoon test run that replaces an assumption with a measurement. Worked example: a public venture lender's prospect research, 6–9 analyst hours per 100 companies to about 15 minutes.

Takeaway: a business case the audience can fill in that week. Companion article: How to scope an AI project to a P&L number.

02 · For PE operating partners

One portfolio company, eight weeks, one number

How an operating partner picks the first workflow, fixes the number before the build, and uses the Twin-Engine method (frontier tools for the technical team, an adoption program for everyone else) so the capability stays after the consultants leave.

Takeaway: a repeatable playbook that transfers between companies because the test on real work is the only part that has to.

03 · For regulated businesses

Private AI when the data cannot leave the building

What on-premise, private-cloud and air-gapped AI actually require for finance, healthcare and legal teams; the public / internal / restricted line; why capability is no longer the trade-off; and what "HIPAA and FINRA compliant out of the box" has to mean in practice.

Takeaway: a classification the compliance officer can sign. Background: Why your most sensitive AI work shouldn't leave the building.

04 · For owners and marketers

Why ChatGPT does not recommend you yet

Customers now ask AI assistants who to hire. A Delray Beach salon went from 0 of 10 assistants naming it to 9 of 10, with website visitors from 110 to 651 a month and a #4 of 245 local ranking, measured in June 2026. The AI Front Door method, step by step, and how any business can check itself for free.

Takeaway: a two-minute self-check and the five fixes behind it. Case study: The AI Front Door.
