Suleman Ahmed · AI Operations Lead

Run the entire business from

I design and build the system behind it: AI agents, workflows and connected tools. Then I train your team to run it.

The missing system

Too much work still depends on someone pushing the next step.

Information gets copied, updates get chased and decisions wait because the work is scattered across people and tools.

Across RevOps and GTM, sales, marketing, customer success, customer support, operations and admin, work gets slowed by copying data, switching tools, chasing approvals and repairing broken handoffs.

How I work

I start with the outcome, then design and build the system around it.

  1. 01 / Map the outcome

    Agree what done looks like.

    Then I map every step, decision, handoff and system needed to get there.

  2. 02 / Design the system

    Decide how the work should run.

    The design shows what to automate, where agents make sense and where people stay involved.

  3. 03 / Lead the build

    Turn the design into the system.

    I build the agents, workflows, integrations and internal tools, then connect them to the tools you already use.

  4. 04 / Train and hand over

    Put it in the team’s hands.

    I test the system with the team, fix what breaks, document what matters and train them to run it.

About me

How I got here.

I started in 2023 as a GTM Engineer at Leadify, then at Grow Surely. At Evergrowth, as a Forward Deployed Engineer, I worked with small businesses and enterprise teams. From the outside, everything looked fine. Behind the scenes, people were copying data, chasing updates and losing context to keep the work moving.

So I mapped how the work actually ran, built AI agents and workflows around it, connected the tools and trained the teams. I stayed from the first call until the new system was running.

Alongside that, I build my own products. Cubeshell is a GTM API for AI agents. I also founded Indiecorn and built IndiecornOS, its open-source AI operating system for building and leading AI agents around how a business works.

Today I bring all of that together as an AI Operations Lead.

    “I have been working with Suleman for more than three years. He is great at taking a messy part of the business and turning it into something people will actually use. He helped us tighten up onboarding, organize the backend and automate the repetitive stuff. One AI agent he built was booking four or five calls a week. Now we’re going through the company role by role, mapping the tasks and skills, and building an AI team that can handle whole parts of the operation. The fun part is watching a rough idea turn into something real that the team can use.”

    “Suleman has completely changed the way I run my business. Before, I had things happening everywhere and it was hard to keep track of it all. Now everything is in one place. We built a team of nine AI employees based on how my business actually works. Five are already doing real work and saving me time, and we’re still training the other four. I honestly didn’t think this was possible. It really feels like we’re living in the future. Things I used to need help with now happen in the background, so I have more time for clients, creativity and relationships.”

Common questions.

Is this consulting or a fractional role?

Both. You can hire me by the hour for a specific task, or as a fractional AI Operations Lead, starting with a 90-day pilot.

Who is this for?

Hourly work suits a business that needs one specific task done, like an automation, a tool connection or an AI agent for one job. The fractional role is for companies with an established team that need one person to lead the move to AI.

What is an AI operating system?

It connects the people, data, tools and rules needed to move work from start to finish. I design that system before deciding where automation or AI belongs.

What makes the business AI-native?

AI becomes part of how the business runs, not another tool sitting beside it. Automation and agents handle the repeatable work, while people keep relationships, judgment and important decisions.

Do the existing tools need to be replaced?

Usually not. I start with the systems already in use, connect what works and replace something only when it is holding the operation back.

Does this replace the team?

Not by default. We look at the work, not the job title. When a role is mostly repeatable and AI can handle it reliably, the system may remove the need for that role. People stay where judgment, relationships, creativity and accountability matter.

How does the 90-day pilot work?

We pick one part of the business to start with. Over 90 days, I design the system, build it and put it into use with your team. The aim is to have it running and the team trained by day 90. If there is more to do, we agree what I take on next.

How do IT and security fit in?

I use approved accounts and permissions. If the work touches protected data or systems, IT and security are involved from the start.

How does pricing work?

Hourly work is $49 an hour. Before I start, we agree the task and roughly how many hours it should take. For the fractional role, pricing depends on what I own during the first 90 days and what needs to be built, and we agree the scope, fee and term before it starts.
