Intersecting AI and Business

Make Successful Investments inAI and Machine Learning

I'm Aaron (Youshen) Lim. I've helped 200+ companies align technology with business objectives—including building business-aligned AI and machine learning systems.

Now I help businesses and enterprises implement AI that actually works.

P.S. Yes, I have a Cornell MBA and am Agile Scrum Certified. But what matters is that I understand AI/machine learning. I have actually built & deployed AI. I also have a proven impact track record of successful cloud implementations, product GTM strategies, launching platform businesses, scaling operations across markets, spearheading IPO initiatives, and venture capital investment research.

The AI Implementation Problem

Most AI projects fail to deliver ROI. Here's why:

—— A

No clear business case or success metrics

—— B

Treating AI as technology, not business transformation

—— C

Lack of AI development experience

—— D

Missing alignment between POC and scale that realizes business objectives

I solve this by combining:

—— A

Real implementation experience

—— B

Revenue and GTM focus

—— C

Enterprise management experience

—— D

Technical depth (AI fluency from Cornell + AI development & deployment experience)
