Who This Is For
You Need a Commercial Operator in the Room.
You run the company. You need someone who has sold, built a team, and spent well over a decade turning vague mandates into decisions the business can run. That mandate can be innovation, sales, or an AI initiative the company needs scoped.
The seat is a fractional innovation or sales role. The plan is set with you. What is worth funding gets decided. The people who do the work are hired or selected to work inside your company. Dole Consul does not build the system.
Founder
Christopher Dole.
Career work primarily focused on commercial leadership, enterprise sales, and sitting with executives while they funded & staffed technical work. For a decade, I co-founded and help grow an applied AI firm to over 100 employees. Prior to that, I led business development for a 250-person technology consultancy and was top-ranked in sales at two Fortune 1000 companies. Clients have spanned SMEs through the Fortune 500.
The through-line is the same: read the room, earn trust fast, translate complexity for people who do not care about the tech, and move an interesting idea to an approved budget with someone accountable for ROI.
The job is to make the work practical, measurable, and owned by the business. If that is the seat you need, write me.
