I've spent 35 years inside agencies, on the client side, and running AI-powered platforms. I've led teams, made the calls, and lived with the outcomes — and I've watched a lot of smart organizations get stuck at the "talking about AI" stage without ever quite getting to the "using it" stage.
That gap is what Neurohaus is about.
I work with marketing teams, agencies, and brands to close it — through hands-on workshops, workflow diagnostics, and fractional leadership. The engagements usually start with one of those things and evolve from there, depending on what the organization actually needs.
I'm also still figuring out what the next full-time chapter looks like. In the meantime, this is the most useful work I can be doing — and I'm genuinely enjoying it.
Background: CEO of Media Kitchen for 16 years, President of Inuvo (NYSE: INUV), lecturer at Columbia and Baruch, 90+ published articles, angel investor via Gaingels and TBD Angels, board member at Compass Community Center.
If you're wrestling with how to get your team actually using AI — or just want a smart conversation about it — I'm easy to reach.
