ABOUT ROBERT RAY

I build commercial engines from zero.I\'m currently VP of Solutions Engineering at 4MINDSAI, where I\'m standing up the technical go-to-market function for an enterprise AI platform that gives organizations their own custom AI — built on their data, capable of structured reasoning, adaptive as that data changes, and governed from the ground up. I\'m hiring the team, building the playbooks, and connecting what customers need to what the platform delivers.Before 4MINDS, I spent seven years at AWS. I built the Global M&A Advisory Organization from a first-call deck into a structured practice generating ~$1.5B in revenue across 90+ engagements representing over $500B in aggregate transaction value. Before that, I was an enterprise Solutions Architect developing $300M+ in pipeline across 300+ customers. I also founded my own consulting firm, built a cloud practice at a mid-size consultancy, and served as a Network Engineer in the Marine Corps.The thread across all of it: I operate at the intersection of deep technical understanding and commercial strategy. I build things from nothing, I scale them, and I develop the people and mechanisms that make it repeatable.I write about AI at aidecoded.ai.If you\'re working on hard problems at the intersection of AI, enterprise, and go-to-market — or if you want to build something from the ground floor — I\'m always interested in the conversation.
