Marcus Thornfield
Senior Program Director
Marcus spent eight years at McKinsey & Company before transitioning to AI consulting in 2018. He's led decision automation projects for three major automotive manufacturers and developed predictive analytics frameworks still used by two international banks.
His teaching philosophy focuses on practical application over theoretical concepts. Students work through case studies drawn from his actual consulting engagements, modified to protect client confidentiality while preserving the core learning challenges.
Adrian Kowalski
Technical Lead Instructor
Before joining our team in early 2024, Adrian managed AI product development at a startup acquired by Microsoft. He's particularly skilled at breaking down complex algorithms into understandable components.
Adrian's sessions blend technical depth with business context. He believes the most effective AI implementations happen when technical teams and business stakeholders can communicate clearly about what the technology can and cannot accomplish.
How We Structure Learning
Rather than following traditional academic approaches, we've designed our program around the way professionals actually encounter AI challenges in their work. Each learning module connects to real scenarios our instructors have navigated.
-
1
Context-First Learning
Every technical concept gets introduced through a specific business situation. We start with the problem, then explore how AI provides solutions.
-
2
Collaborative Problem Solving
Small group sessions allow participants to tackle challenges together. Our instructors guide these discussions rather than lecturing.
-
3
Progressive Complexity
We begin with straightforward decision scenarios and gradually introduce more nuanced situations that require sophisticated AI approaches.
