AI Learning Platforms: Education Into Action | GTM & Vertical SaaS

I build native AI platforms where people learn, then do the work in-product: go-to-market systems for founders, clinical between-session care, business English practice, and other vertical learning products. Why me: I'm Expert-Vetted with a 100% Job Success score across 25+ engagements. For 30+ years I turned tech into revenue: learning the company's technology, analyzing markets, packaging solutions, building partner channels, closing multi-million-dollar deals, then productizing the offer and hiring, training, and coaching the sales organization. That includes VP Western Region at AirDefense (80-100% YoY growth) and work with GE, Unisys, IBM, Cisco, Motorola, and NTT Data. Products I have shipped: - GTM OS on SoloFrameHub: AI-guided go-to-market so founders move from ICP and offer to outreach and customer acquisition - 60-Day Founder: trilingual AI startup school from idea to first customers - Digital Wellness Academy / clinical education platforms for psychiatric practices - SV English: Silicon Valley style business English with curriculum and live coaching When a project needs it, I also wire CRM, outbound, and follow-up around that system. That is secondary to the platform, not the headline. Good fit if you need: - An AI learning platform that turns education into action - A founder GTM operating system or vertical academy - Strategy plus implementation from someone who has sold and built - CRM or outbound automation in support of a real product (not a one-off Zapier job) Author of the Solo Founder's AI-Powered Customer Acquisition Playbook. Semifinalist, Nebius AI Discovery Award for AI Innovation in Healthcare.
