About TrustedAdvisorsAI

Leadership

TrustedAdvisorsAI was founded by three longtime colleagues and friends whose working relationship began at Citi in 1999. Over the past 25 years, we have collaborated on numerous technology and business initiatives while maintaining a personal friendship that all three of us value.

Friends and family together during a trip to IndiaOur work together has always combined different perspectives — business, communications, technology, and development — with a shared interest in solving practical problems. TrustedAdvisorsAI is our newest effort together, bringing that experience to the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. We're excited to see where it leads.
