Quantum Rise is launching a new initiative focused on leveraging industry-specific expertise to support its clients’ AI transformation efforts. 

The Chicago-based consultancy works with organizations to implement artificial intelligence and automation solutions. Its new Ambassador Program brings together experts with real-world experience in using AI across various industries. These ambassadors will operate as an extension of Quantum Rise’s Consulting 2.0 approach, which “focuses on outcomes that matter,” such as increasing revenue, according to a news release.

Quantum Rise’s inaugural group of ambassadors features Paul Phillips, who has a background in building scalable infrastructure from his time as a founder and C-suite technology leader; Demetria Veal, who brings AI insights from her more than 18 years working in the consumer packaged goods space; and Hugh Seaton, a construction tech veteran with perspective on using AI to enhance jobsite operations.

“Our ambassadors bring decades of hands-on industry experience to the table. They know what works, they know what’s broken and they know how AI can make the difference. We couldn’t be more excited to have them on board,” Alex Kelleher, Quantum Rise founder and CEO, said in a statement.
