Athena AI Academy · Executive Concierge

Your AI expert, at your desk.

A bespoke, one-to-one program that makes senior leaders personally productive with AI. We configure your tools, build custom AI skills for your real workflows, and give you a plan to scale AI across your organization. White-glove, built around how you work.

What’s Included

The Leadership Challenge

You sponsor the AI strategy. No one has shown you what AI can do with your own work.

You approve the budgets and answer the board’s questions about AI. Yet there is a gap no one talks about: no one has sat beside you to show what AI can do with your actual work. Athena closes that gap with a private engagement, built around how you operate.

The briefing gap

Your teams use AI every day. You rely on secondhand updates and demo screenshots to understand what is possible. That makes it hard to know which investments will pay off and which are just noise.

The time problem

The board expects AI leadership, and you know it matters. But between running the business and everything else, there has not been time to go deep on AI tools yourself.

The relevance problem

Generic AI sessions cover the basics for everyone. They do not address board prep, financial modeling, strategic analysis, or the workflows that fill your day. You need something built for how a senior leader actually works.

What’s Included

A fixed-fee program, not hourly billing.

You work with a senior Athena strategist who configures your tools, builds custom AI skills for your workflows, and supports you at every step.

A personal AI environment, fully configured
The AI tools relevant to your role, set up on your devices and connected to your calendar, email, and documents. Ready for daily use from the first session.
Two to three custom-built AI skills
Not templates. Skills built around your real daily work: board prep, financial review, stakeholder communications, strategic analysis, whatever matters most to you.
Three private 90-minute sessions
Delivered over two to four weeks, in person at your office or by video. Each session has a clear focus and a tangible outcome.
A scaling playbook
A practical guide for rolling AI adoption into your teams, so you can champion the change from experience, not from a deck someone else prepared.
Async support between sessions
Direct messaging access to your strategist between sessions, so you are never stuck. Quick questions answered, blockers removed, momentum maintained.

The Program

Three sessions to AI confidence.

Each session is 90 minutes, enough to make real progress without taking your whole day. In person at your office or by video, with async support between sessions.
