About Franz Stoneking

I help companies figure out which AI bets are worth making, then I build the systems to prove it.Most AI leaders either stay in the C-suite or stay in the codebase. I move between both. I\'ve presented governance frameworks to boards and opened PRs in the same week. That range is the point, strategy without implementation is a slide deck, and implementation without strategy is expensive experimentation.At Brady Corp, I led AI transformation end-to-end enterprise data platform architecture on GCP, production RAG systems, and semantic search, MCP agents connecting engineering workflows across DevOps and JIRA, and an AI assistant projected to free 3.5 FTEs in its first deployment. Before that, Analytics PM at Acrisure, where propensity models drove a 23% increase in cross-sell rates and a 12% reduction in churn. Before that, six years at Wells Fargo building risk models in regulated environments.The through-line: eliminate busywork, surface better decisions, and build systems that actually get used.Tech I work in: Python, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI, BigQuery, dbt, Databricks, DialogFlow, Pinecone, Claude CodeWhat I\'m building: RAG architectures, agentic workflows, MCP agents, semantic search, AI governance frameworksCarnegie Mellon MBA (Tepper). MIT Executive Education in Leading AI Organizations. Open to relocation — Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa.
