ABOUT
The advice is only worth something because I'm still in the work.
Fifteen years leading product at scale, a few companies of my own, and the last several years almost entirely in AI.
Through-line.
Most people advising on AI stopped building a long time ago. I never did — I'm leading AI transformation at Intuit right now, and I've built and sold companies of my own.
The technology was never the hard part. The hard part is judgment: what to build, what it changes, and what you're really steering toward. That's where I'm useful.
How I work.
Warm and direct — I'll tell you what I actually think.
Honest about the hype.
Built to leave: your team owns it when I go.
Zane publishes field notes from active work — not predictions about AI, but decisions made and tradeoffs navigated in real products shipping now.
