The Pie Grower Llc

The Pie Grower is the think tank and fractional practice helping leaders figure out what to do with people in the age of agentic AI. In our digitally overwhelmed, low-trust environment, traction breaks down in a predictable way. As responsibility grows, proximity to the people who shape the market fades. Leaders get pulled into product and operations, away from the relationships that create demand, confidence, and pull. The Pie Grower closes that gap from both sides. For companies, it puts senior presence back in the field so strategy comes from high-integrity conversations rather than secondhand signal. For the people companies want to serve, it offers a credible point of contact who understands the technology and is completely (and genuinely) committed to understanding what matters to them. Chief of Field is the productized version of this work. It builds genuine, trusted relationships that inform better product positioning and go-to-market decisions. AI improves speed and follow-through, while judgment and connection stay human. The role is ideal for early, ambiguous, pre-scale situations like: – New companies translating early problem framing into qualified interest. – New verticals testing positioning in unfamiliar markets. – New products turning launches into real demand. More on the Chief of Field: My practice honors and aligns with Alex Edmans'"pie-growing mentality," emphasizing that investing in stakeholders expands overall value to benefit both investors and society.
