Ian Harvey

Business Leadership. Financial Discipline. Practical AI.

I bring together executive leadership, finance, operations, investing and entrepreneurship with practical experience building and applying AI-enabled business solutions.

My focus is straightforward: understand the business, identify what matters, find opportunities to create value and turn good ideas into practical action.

Experience Meets What's Next

My career has taken me across executive leadership, finance, operations, private investment, advisory work and entrepreneurship.

Understand the business. Identify what matters. Apply the right tools. Execute.

As a CPA and MBA with CEO and CFO experience, I have spent much of my career evaluating businesses, making decisions, solving financial and operating problems and working with owners, executives and investors.

More recently, I have applied that experience to the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence—developing AugVation and building applications, digital products, content systems, business tools and AI resources.
