Hosted by Mike Birdsall, Doxa Oakland
A six-hour, hands-on workshop for lower mid-market CEOs ready to put AI to work inside their company. We cover where AI moves the needle, how to staff for it without slowing down, and the operating model that makes both real. You leave with a concrete plan — not a deck of buzzwords.
Built for CEOs of $10M–$50M businesses who suspect they're behind on AI and want a credible path forward.
Meet the speakers and other CEOs in the room.
Where it moves the needle, where it doesn't, and why.
Pick a real process from your business. Ship a working AI version of it in 45 minutes.

How to pair your team with global AI engineers without breaking your org chart.
Working session: leave with a written plan and a Doxa partner to keep you accountable.
Book a consultation slot before you leave.
CEO, DOXA Talent · Co-Founder, Guidant Financial
David has built two companies from nothing into something. Guidant Financial helped 30,000 entrepreneurs secure $7 billion to start or buy a business across all 50 states. DOXA Talent runs a 1,000-person distributed team across six countries — with zero office space. No hybrid policy. No headquarters. Just people doing real work across time zones, every day.
Founder, AI Officer Institute · Former Microsoft, TINYpulse
Dave started at Microsoft in 1999 as a data analyst — back when most people hadn't heard the word "algorithm" outside a math class. He's spent 25 years since at the intersection of technology and business, building systems that ran millions of rows of data and millions of dollars in transactions. He co-founded TINYpulse, a venture-backed startup that reshaped employee engagement for the Boston Red Sox, Fidelity, and thousands more — later acquired by WebMD.
