REBUILD YOUR GO-TO-MARKET AROUND AGENTS.
I help enterprises in Asia Pacific move from AI demos to working agent systems: strategy, deployment and the training that makes it stick.
ABOUT
I am the founder of The AI Capitol, an agentic AI consulting and deployment firm. I publish The AI Capitol on Substack, host curated C-suite roundtables, and train teams across the region.
Before that I spent my career in senior commercial roles across Asia Pacific: Apple, TikTok / ByteDance, Tencent / WeChat and Bondee / Metadream. Now I apply that go-to-market experience to the agentic era.
SPEAKING
Four talks, one thread. Practical, built around your team.
Agents run the work
Tools wait for instructions. Agents take a goal, break it into steps, handle errors and deliver results. I draw the line between the two and show your team how to start delegating.
The difference between a conversational AI and an autonomous agent. Start small: specific goals, clear constraints, a defined output format. Where agents save the tedious work so people keep the judgment calls.

A practical framework for building real AI workflows in a month, for work, sales and growth. Treat AI as a personal operating system, not a bag of tips.
AI is a thinking partner, not a search engine. Specificity is everything: context, constraints and clarity. Turn one-off prompts into repeatable workflows.
Read the roadmap ↗AI for selling and marketing
How your sales and marketing teams can use AI without losing the human skills that close deals and build loyalty.
AI-powered sales strategies for winning deals. Real-time customer engagement and personalisation. Predictive analytics and sentiment analysis for marketing decisions.

Orchestration, memory, tool use and deployment. Live demos on real workflows, not slides. Controls, testing and monitoring so agents stay aligned.
