Independent advisory for companies betting on AI, and defending against everything else.
Twenty-five years in cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, now helping AI companies sharpen their go-to-market strategy, and helping organizations adopt AI for real productivity gains while getting an honest read on their security posture.
Disciplines that increasingly answer to the same question: can this be trusted at scale?
AI Adoption & GTM Strategy
Advisory for AI companies and the enterprises evaluating them — go-to-market positioning and partner strategy on one side, practical productivity-focused AI adoption on the other.
- Go-to-market and partnership strategy for AI vendors
- Positioning against incumbent and adjacent platforms
- AI adoption roadmaps focused on measurable productivity gains
- Vendor and tool evaluation for enterprise AI adoption
Cybersecurity Review & Advisory
Independent review and analysis of your security posture, tools, and vendors — clear recommendations you can act on, scoped to what you'll actually budget for.
- Digital footprint profiling and exposure assessment
- In-house team vs. managed service provider (MSP): how you actually run security
- How AI is reshaping your security posture and industry requirements
- Cyber insurance readiness and application prep
Partner & Advisor Selection
You rarely need one advisor — you need the right mix. I help scope the actual problem, identify who should be in the room, and stay involved so the pieces fit together.
- Scoping the real problem before recommending who to call
- Vetting and introducing technology implementation partners
- Direct legal input where it's in scope, SC-licensed — nationwide counsel hand-fit by industry and issue where it's not
- Coordinating with insurance brokers on coverage that matches your actual risk
One regulatory signal worth building into the pitch
Regulated buyers increasingly expect AI vendors to speak to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — not as a compliance audit, but as part of how trust and risk get messaged to enterprise buyers. This practice treats that as a go-to-market input, not a deliverable: the engagement is sales and positioning, not compliance work.
Barnaby M. Page
Twenty-five years in financial and cyber software, built on one rule: start with what the buyer actually needs.
Barnaby has spent twenty-five years in financial and cyber software — building go-to-market from the ground up at startups, and driving institutional sales by working backward from what the buyer actually needs and is trying to accomplish. That same instinct now shapes how he advises AI companies on go-to-market, and how he reviews security posture and vendors for the organizations buying from them.
He is a licensed attorney in South Carolina and can advise directly on matters within that scope. Just as often, the right move is bringing in someone else — and hand-fitting the right nationwide counsel to the specific industry and issue, rather than a generic referral, is part of how this practice works.

A network, not a referral list
This practice works alongside a small set of vetted partners — technology implementation firms, outside counsel, and insurance brokers — chosen to fit the specific industry and issue rather than offered as a generic list. Partner details are being finalized and will appear here.
Technology Implementation
Vetted partners for standing up AI and identity platforms once a strategy is set.
Outside Counsel
Nationwide counsel hand-fit by industry and issue, coordinated alongside direct SC-licensed advice.
Insurance & Risk
Brokers who understand cyber coverage well enough to match it to actual risk, not boilerplate.
