Our team

The people you'll work with.

A small team that embeds rather than advises. The same people teach the courses.

  1. Chris Kuselias

    01Partnerships

    Chris Kuselias

    Founder & Chairman

    Chris has spent three decades building and running companies: launching ventures, employing thousands of families, and doing the unglamorous work of getting people to change how they operate. He has been profiled on 60 Minutes, CNN, FOX, ABC and NBC.

  2. Eliyahu Cohen

    02The build

    Eliyahu Cohen

    Head of AI & Build

    Systems and builds: architecture, diagnostics, and the software a client ends up owning outright. Eliyahu has helped venture-backed startups streamline operations, guided private-equity portfolio companies through digital transformation, and built AI systems for healthcare organizations that cut administrative overhead.

  3. Ben Eydlin

    03Learning

    Ben Eydlin

    Head of Growth & Learning

    Ben has always been drawn to how value gets created, from building a business to judging which ones are worth backing. He started and runs his own business, researches public equities for UConn's student-run Opportunity Fund, has evaluated 120+ startups at Hillside Ventures, and works in wealth management at Fidelity.

  4. Yasmin Rensch

    04Social media and press

    Yasmin Rensch

    Social Media & PR Coordinator

    Yasmin runs OceanCrest AI's social media and PR: the posts, the short expert clips from the team, and the news and speaking engagements worth sharing.

Fractional consultants

They work alongside our team.

  1. David Taiwo

    Delivery

    David Taiwo

    Fractional Consultant, Engineering & Delivery

    Engineering and delivery, from an enterprise systems background, applied to the unglamorous work of sitting inside an organization, mapping how its core processes actually run, and producing a ranked plan for where the money is.

  2. Cheryl Rykowski

    Adoption

    Cheryl Rykowski

    Fractional Consultant, Cultural AI Strategy

    Cheryl works on the part of an engagement that decides whether any of it survives contact with a real team: leadership alignment, the people who become internal champions, and the training plan that turns a finished module into a changed room. Her ground is how people actually react: fear, resistance, over-reliance, and the difference between judgment and avoidance.
