Fractional Chief AI Officer
Your team, minus the busywork.
I build AI solutions that handle the stuff that buries your people, the dross, the dregs, the deep-sigh work. Now imagine that your reports assembled themselves. Answers were pulled from your data in seconds. The flood of information cut down so your people can focus on what actually matters.
My work doesn't replace your people. It gives them superpowers.

FishDog — Synthetic Market Research
A research platform built on synthetic populations. We recruit synthetic consumers to mirror real ones, then run the studies you'd normally wait weeks and five figures for. Answers land in hours.
Why Duess Strategies
Most consultants either can't read a room or read a codebase. I do both.
Operators, not advisors
I've built, scaled, and sold businesses. When I advise on implementation, it's from having done it, not from having read about it.
Technically fluent
I understand the technology well enough to know what's real and what's a sales pitch. I co-founded and help run FishDog, and I still prototype, test, and evaluate what engineering teams build.
Deep in food and tech
My twenties at the cutting edge of technology with Google, Cisco, and others. My thirties building one of North America's most successful food and agriculture marketing agencies.
The research work at FishDog
Most market research fails the people who pay for it.
Too slow for the decision it was meant to inform. Too expensive to run twice. Too thin to mine for the question you didn't think to ask.
FishDog starts from a different place. We build synthetic populations. We recruit synthetic respondents to mirror a real population, the way a good pollster recruits a sample. Recruitment is where representativeness lives. We never invent an audience to flatter a brief.
