Raising the execution standard for applied AI.
AI Executive focuses on the operating decisions that determine whether AI becomes a durable capability: governance, access, measurement, change management, cost, and the partner ecosystem required to scale.
Led by Marla Ellerman, CEO.
Marla Ellerman
Marla created the Channel Partners Conference and Expo, the industry event that defined a generation of channel sales. After a twenty-year run as Group Publisher at Virgo Publishing, where she built the telecom division to $16M in annual revenue and positioned the company for a $55M sale, she has spent the last fifteen years at the center of the payments, telecom, and marketing technology ecosystems.
AI Executive is the network she always wanted to build. Operators, not spectators. Accountability, not theater. Real deployment, not hype.
Signal, not noise
A higher-signal peer network, practical frameworks, and a weekly briefing designed for accountable leaders moving from talk to repeatable outcomes.
Selective by design
Curated membership, small working sessions, and operator-first content. The goal is to compress learning cycles and reduce avoidable risk when programs meet executive scrutiny.
Operators only
Founders and operators responsible for outcomes, not observers. Members run real programs and exchange what actually works.
