Loops, leaps, and leadership. It's an automation transformation!

I’m Andrew Mayfield, Founder of Ortomate.ai and a Fractional Chief Automation Officer.

Most AI initiatives fail. Not because of technology, but because leadership teams lack the readiness, risk management, and execution discipline required to succeed. I bring 20+ years of SaaS leadership experience, scaling companies from startup to global, guiding capital raises, and embedding automation as a core driver of growth.

At Optimal Workshop, I led the business from inception to a B-Corp certified global leader with 25% annual growth (CAGR over 14 years) and a client base of Fortune 500s, governments, and universities worldwide. Today, I help CEOs, boards, leadership and product teams apply a structured decision framework to ensure readiness, address predictable failure modes, and tie every automation investment to ROI.

My approach is hands-on and strategic:

• Quick wins in 90 days, delivering measurable efficiency improvements.
• Documented cost savings and revenue lift within 6–12 months.
• Sustainable competitive advantage supported by board-level governance and reporting.

I translate complex AI/ML capabilities into board-ready strategy, ensuring automation creates real business outcomes, not just experiments.
