The problems we hear every time

Leaders who see the stakes and feel the gap. These are the tensions they bring to us.

  • Personal fluency

    You know AI matters but haven't had time to build your own stack. You're making decisions about something you're not yet operating in yourself.

  • Variable executive skills and buy-in

    Your leadership team is at different levels. Some are all in; others are skeptical or overwhelmed. You need alignment, not more training decks.

  • EA and Chief of Staff underutilized

    They're your highest-leverage people, but the operating model wasn't built around them. They could do more. The system holds them back.

  • Board and plan questions

    AI is on every board agenda. They'll ask what you're doing. You need a real answer and a strategy that holds up.

  • Potential vs. operating model

    You see the potential. The hard part is how you get everyone to change: roles, rituals, and expectations. How do you move the whole org?

  • Management, not tools

    The gap isn't which AI to buy. It's how you hire, onboard, orchestrate, and lead around it. That's a management problem.

Run by operators, not consultants

Why work with Claire & team?

3x CPTO

Former CPTO at LaunchDarkly, Color, and Optimizely. Now a full-time founder building ChatPRD with AI every day. Operator DNA, not consulting BS.

Host, How I AI

The podcast: 90+ conversations with EPD leaders on what's actually working. The deepest bench of AI adoption stories out there.

Intentionally small cohorts

Flagship coaching = three execs max. Full attention, full accountability.
