Founder & CMO

# Ian McGavin

Builds AI that runs the shop, writes a plan you can defend, and gets you named when ChatGPT is asked who to hire.

Ian founded Strataigize in 2022. The hire is three jobs that sit with him: AI that keeps the business moving when nobody is watching, a strategy a board can stand on, and the search work that puts the firm in the answer when a buyer asks ChatGPT who to hire. Paid media is still in the building. It is not why you book him.

Client accounts here are reviewed on a schedule by systems he wrote, working inside written bounds: how far a change can move in one step, what has to be true before anything executes, and what gets handed to a person. Every change is logged and reversible. Nights and weekends still get attention, and the reasoning behind a change can be produced on request.

In 2026 he had the generative-engine deliverables the industry sells as standard put to the test, found that most of them do not hold up, cut them from Strataigize's own offer, and published the findings ungated rather than behind a lead form. The prices are on the pricing page for the same reason. An argument that only works while the buyer cannot check it is not an argument.
