ABOUT FORREST HOWARD
Most AI strategies fail because they ignore the reality of dirty data and legacy infrastructure. I fix that.I sit at the intersection of technical engineering and P&L management. With deep roots in operations and supply chain, I build AI systems that solve boring, expensive business problems. I don\'t just create roadmaps; I build the agents, architect the RAG pipelines, and lead the implementations that replace manual toil with automated intelligence.For Private Equity, I act as a pragmatist in a market full of noise. I help funds and PortCos identify where AI actually works, and more importantly, where it is a distraction.What I bring to the table- Deep Technical Fluency: I build and deploy, I don\'t just spectate- Operational DNA: I build systems that respect process constraints and workforce realities- Financial Discipline: If it doesn\'t move the needle on the bottom line, we don\'t build it.
