I help business leaders confidently adopt AI and turn emerging technology into a practical competitive advantage. My work has been featured in Forbes, and I regularly speak at institutions like Emory University, XPX, ProVisors, and industry associations to educate executives on how to safely and effectively leverage AI.With over 20 years of global leadership experience at Fortune 100 companies including Disney, Warner Media, and Diageo, I bring a business-first lens to AI consulting.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Gerardo and the WSI team for a corporate training session focused on artificial intelligence, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Gerardo brought a strong command of the subject matter, delivering content that was both accessible and highly relevant to our business.
The session helped our team understand not only the fundamentals of AI, but also practical ways we can apply it to increase efficiency in our daily workflows. Gerardo provided real-world examples and interactive discussions that made the learning process engaging and impactful.
Equally important, he emphasized responsible AI usage and guided us through best practices for establishing guardrails.
Our team left the training with greater confidence, clarity, and excitement about the potential of AI in our business. I highly recommend Gerardo and his team at WSI to any organization looking to deepen its understanding of AI and implement it safely and effectively.

As a director at the Fayette Chamber of Commerce, we were lucky enough to hosted Gerardo Kerik for one of our quarterly small business talks. He was amazing!! He effortlessly discussed Artificial intelligence tailored to our audience for 35+ minute. As a veteran on AI myself, I and our novice audience was so riveted by the content that you could hear a pin drop. Mr Kerik's talk was interesting, attention grabbing, and memorable. Everything we need our speakers to be and more.
He not only simplified and demystified the complexities of AI but also gave real life demonstrations on which tools small business owners should be utilizing to streamline their businesses. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Kerik at your next technology event.

After the first initial call with Gerardo I hired him immediately for a project we were working on. The discovery call was one of the best calls I have had in my 30 year career. The work Gerardo did for the company was some of the best consultant work we have received.
