Andrew Stafford

Most AI content is either hype or fear. Andrew Stafford builds the stuff in between — the workflows, automations, and agent systems that real businesses actually use. With 25 years across Amazon, NASA, and five startups (two exits), he now serves as a fractional Chief AI Innovation Officer helping companies implement AI that ships. He's the author of AI for Business, co-leads The AI Collective Hampton Roads (part of a 220,000+ global community), and runs a sold-out event series on agentic AI and Claude Code. His take: pro-adoption AND risk-aware. No hype. Just what works.
