Private AI tutoring for executives
You do not need another AI course. You need someone who has sat in your seat.
I privately tutor leaders to go from chatting with AI to actually building capacity with it. A proven operator who has run the company, built the board deck, and signed the vendor check. Plain English, your pace, nobody watching.
The messy middle
If AI feels like failure right now, you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Kanter's Law, named for my former Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, says: "everything can look like a failure in the middle." Every big change has an inspiring start, a messy middle where it all feels like it is falling apart, and a finish that only the people who push through ever see.
That is where most leaders are with AI. The excitement wore off. Your team says it is "covered." You are quietly Googling "what is an agent" between meetings, and you cannot let anyone see you do it.
That is not you being behind. That is the middle. The way out is not another webinar. It is someone who has already crossed it, sitting next to you.
Why this voice
Anyone can teach you AI. Almost no one teaching it has actually been the executive making the call.
I have, in four different worlds, which means I have very likely been in a seat like yours.
Built Caribu from a napkin sketch and sold it to Mattel. One of the small fraction of founders who actually exited.
Senior Advisor to the Treasury Secretary, as a White House Fellow.
Executive Director of Teach For America Miami-Dade.
General Manager at Mattel, one of the largest toy companies in the world.
An MBA from Harvard Business School and a Master's in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School.
And before all of that
I was a public school teacher.
Here is the part the AI experts in your feed cannot say. I was a certified high school teacher, and I have spent my career in education. I was trained to take something genuinely hard and make it click for the person in front of me.
I taught in an underfunded, inner-city classroom. If I could get my students to understand how government and the economy actually work, I can get you fluent in agentic AI. Knowing this stuff and being able to teach it are two different skills. I am one of the very few people who can do both.
What the tutoring looks like
Always private. One on one. Built around you.
Start with a 3-Hour Agentic Kickstart. One private session. You walk in curious. You walk out dangerous, with the bigger picture and a real sense of how to lead in it.
From there, we keep going however fits. Ongoing access, a standing monthly session, time with your team. We find the right shape on the call.
I also run workshops and present to leadership groups. You are the main focus, but I'm always happy to get your team caught up too.
Proof
I write the playbook every week.
I do not just talk about this. My Insights series breaks down agentic AI for leaders in plain English, the same way I do it privately.
"Max is incredibly thoughtful, sharp, and knows what she's talking about. She focuses you on what actually matters for your business."

"I have booked with other experts that were $1000 and didn't give me half as good advice as she did. I will be booking with her again."
Stephanie, via Intro
"In prep for moving forward, an invaluable 15 minutes. Absolutely 5-star. Only because 6 wasn't an option."

Tell me where you actually are. We start there.
The discovery call is a private one on one. No prep, no awkward self-assessment, no quiz. Tell me what your team is working on and what your board keeps asking, and we build the tutoring around that.
Founders, I still coach you too. Start here.
