Whole AI Foundry™ turns stalled pilots into production-ready systems built for trust and scale.

Nearly nine out of ten AI pilots stall before deployment – ROI is unclear, data isn’t ready, expertise runs thin (IDC / Lenovo, 2025). For CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, and CAIOs in healthcare, finance, legal, and industry, the struggle is real: how do you move from proof to production without losing control, trust, or time?

Roadmap-to-MVP (6 weeks)

Whole AI Foundry™ accelerates stalled pilots into production with a focused, six-week engagement that equips CIOs, CAIOs, CTOs, Head of Data, Head of AI, and Business Unit Leaders in MedTech, Finance, Legal, Industrial & Infrastructure Systems with clarity, direction, and tangible next steps:

  • Gap Analysis: Assess data, talent, and governance readiness.
  • Tools & Platform SWOT: Compare vendors, strengths, and tradeoffs.
  • Procurement Roadmap: Map enterprise approval and integration paths.
  • Accelerated Strategy: Prioritized use cases, risk guardrails, and ROI metrics.

Selections can be customized based on your interest and needs.

Ecosystems That Matter

Whole AI creates ecosystems that matter – intimate, high-trust forums where leaders move beyond theory into shared execution. Through a curated dinner experience (limited leaders per cohort), private salons, strategy labs, and executive dialogues, Nicole brings together leaders responsible for enterprise AI adoption (CIO, CTO, CAIO, CEO, CFO, General Counsel), Board Members & Advisors, Policy & Regulatory Influencers and select Founders/Technical Architects from regulated industries to shape AI adoption and proactive strategies that balance growth with governance. These aren’t panels or panels-in-disguise; they’re working circles designed to surface real constraints, foster alliances, and accelerate strategies that endure.

Nicole Yue is engaging with fellow executive leaders to shape and enrich these experiences today, with the next dinner in mid-2026.
