About Us
We're PAD Management Group
AI consulting built on delivery, not decks.
PAD Management Group exists because most AI consulting is broken. Teams get strategy decks they can't execute, pilots that never reach production, and vendors who disappear after the SOW is signed.
We built PADMG to be different. Every engagement ships something measurable. Every recommendation comes with an implementation path. And we stay until it works in production.
Our team combines enterprise consulting experience with hands-on engineering. We've built AI systems in financial services, healthcare, logistics, and professional services—and we know the difference between a demo and a deployment.
The Team
Who we are
Senior practitioners who've built AI systems in production.
Founder
Enterprise consulting background meets hands-on engineering. Building AI systems that work in production, not just in demos.
How We Work
Embedded with your team, working in your tools and attending your standups. We ship in your repos.
How We Work
Operating Principles
The commitments that shape every engagement.
Ship, then optimize
Working systems beat perfect plans. We get to production fast, then iterate based on real data.
Measure everything
If we can't measure the outcome, we don't recommend the project.
Security is non-negotiable
Every system we build accounts for data privacy, access controls, and compliance requirements.
Transfer knowledge
We build your team's capability, not dependency on us.
Stay honest
If AI isn't the right solution, we'll tell you. And we'll suggest what is.
Our Model
Embedded teams, not offshore handoffs
We don't hand you a PDF and walk away. PADMG practitioners embed directly with your team for the duration of every engagement. We work in your tools, attend your standups, and ship in your repos.
This model means faster feedback loops, fewer miscommunications, and systems that actually work within your existing infrastructure. When the engagement ends, your team owns the code, the documentation, and the knowledge to maintain and extend what we've built together.
Why PADMG
The right fit matters
Different models serve different needs. Here's how we compare for teams that need outcomes fast.
Approach
Strategy-heavy, implementation-light
Tactical, limited scope
Strategy through production
Team
Junior analysts, senior partners
Solo operator
Senior practitioners, embedded
Timeline
3–6 months for strategy alone
Flexible but fragile
2–6 weeks to measurable outcome
IP & Knowledge
Their frameworks, your data
Leaves when done
Your systems, documented and transferred
Cost
$500K+ for a strategy phase
$150–300/hr, variable quality
Scoped to outcomes, transparent pricing
Every model has its place. We built PADMG for teams that need measurable AI outcomes on a realistic timeline and budget.
Values
What we stand for
- Bias toward action over analysis paralysis
- Transparency in pricing, timelines, and trade-offs
- Long-term partnership over one-off projects
- Respect for your team's existing expertise
- Continuous improvement grounded in data
