Highlights
- VP of Sales and Customer Success, early-stage cybersecurity company. George joined when the company had four employees.

Approach to Agentic AI
George treats agentic AI as an execution layer, not a product. He starts with workflow design: each step, each decision point, and where human judgment is required. Only then does he introduce automation. Agents begin with bounded autonomy, people stay involved where relationships, accountability, or risk require it, and autonomy expands only when production results support it.
Applications include:
- Classifying mortgage documents, identifying missing information, and preparing follow-up responses
- Researching salons and distribution partners to support a beauty-sector sales team
- Engaging executives on LinkedIn to validate the market for AI governance, with a human expert joining active conversations
- Answering investor questions through a website chatbot built on company documentation
