Scale to Exit: AI-Native Systems Architecture for Expat Founders in Thailand & SEA

Don’t just find bottlenecks—eliminate them in 90 days. I architect the AI-native systems that turn chaotic operations into a self-running asset—automating the daily grind so you stop fighting fires and unlock scalable cash flow.

Start the Audit

48-Hour Systems Audit

I enter your business and identify the 3 fatal bottlenecks killing your margins. You get a brutal, data-backed roadmap to fix chaos and reclaim 20+ hours of your week immediately.

The "Self-Running" OS Install

I replace manual grunt work with AI agents and documented playbooks. We automate your sales, support, and ops so the business runs without you constantly pushing buttons.

Engineered for 5x Exit Value

I restructure your financials and operations to be "Investor Ready." Whether you sell or keep it, you own a scalable asset that generates cash flow on autopilot, not a job.

I Don’t Sell Advice. I Build Assets.

If it doesn't increase your company's Exit Value, it's not a business improvement.

18+ years of direct P&L responsibility, sitting in every key seat at the table: Founder & CEO of Performance Marketing & Tech Agencies; Principal of an M&A Firm; and Chief Systems Architect.

Having built, scaled, and exited ventures across 50+ niches—as an operator, not a spectator—this approach goes beyond theoretical advice. I engineer the exact asset-class systems used to build and sell my own companies.

The Brutal Reality: Industry data (Gartner/BCG) confirms that nearly 90% of AI initiatives fail to generate significant ROI. The cause is structural, not technical: automating a chaotic process simply scales the chaos.

The Fix: M&A Logic First, AI Second. Risk is eliminated by applying an ‘Exit-Readiness’ Audit to repair operational logic first. Only once the foundation is solid is the AI-Native Operating System deployed.

The goal is not just "efficiency." It is Enterprise Value—building a self-correcting asset that functions independently of the founder.

Are You Building a Scalable Asset, or a High-Stress Job?

We measure success by one metric: Transferability. Do changes make your business more valuable, or just harder to manage?
  • Old Way: The "Founder Trap"

    The logic of a non-transferable business.
    • The Bottleneck: You are the highest-paid employee. Every major decision is waiting for your approval.
    • The "Bus Factor": If you step away for 30 days, revenue goes down. The business cannot survive your absence.
    • The Valuation Penalty: Investors view your company as "High Risk." You are capped at 1x–2x earnings because the asset is you, not the system.
  • New Way: The "Exit-Ready" Machine

    The logic of a transferable asset.
    • The Operating System: AI Agents and documented Playbooks execute 80% of daily ops. You only handle high-level strategy.
    • The Autonomy: Revenue is decoupled from your time. The business grows while you sleep (or travel).
    • The Valuation Premium: Investors view your company as a "Turnkey Asset." You command 3x–8x earnings because the system generates the cash flow.

CASE
Case studies
AI-Native Turnaround for an E-commerce Beauty Brand
From manual chaos to streamlined, data-led growth in [90 days].
Client
Fast-growing DTC skincare and beauty store selling across multiple markets. The founder was stuck in daily operations, with flat profit, rising ad costs and no clear data on what was actually working.

Challenge
  • Manual reporting and no single source of truth for KPIs
  • Fragmented tech stack (Shopify + ads + email + support tools not talking to each other)
  • Offers and pricing built ad hoc, without unit economics
  • Founder overloaded; no real operating system for the team
Our Approach
  • Ran a Business & AI Strategy Diagnostic: mapped funnels, offers, ops and numbers
  • Rebuilt the offer and pricing strategy around contribution margin and LTV
  • Designed and implemented AI-powered workflows for customer support, abandoned carts and email campaigns
  • Connected Shopify, ads and CRM into a live KPI dashboard (revenue, CAC, LTV, margin, inventory)
  • Created simple SOPs and weekly review cadence so the team could run the system without me
Results
  • Clear visibility on unit economics and cash flow within [30 days]
  • [X%] increase in profit on the same or lower ad spend
  • Founder reclaimed [Y hours] per week from operations to focus on strategy and product
  • Business now structured to be scale- and exit-ready if the owner chooses later
