Find the priority
Map the business, the decision bottlenecks, and where AI actually moves a Spokane company's numbers, not just where it sounds interesting.
AI consultant in
Spokane, WA.
Fractional AI strategy and hands-on building, based in Spokane. Twenty years leading technical sales and customer success at Verizon, now applied to Inland Northwest companies that want a working system, not a slide deck.
BASE
Spokane, WA
CADENCE
Working prototype in about 30 days
INFRASTRUCTURE
Four-node local AI cluster
Local operator.
National experience.
Twenty years at Verizon took me from a mall kiosk in Spokane to Associate Vice President of Solutions Architecture for National Technical Sales, leading more than 450 people. That background now runs through Takisaki Strategy: AI strategy, agent systems, and working software for companies across the Inland Northwest.
Prototype work runs on a four-node local AI cluster based in Spokane, so sensitive workloads can stay on infrastructure I control instead of a public API.
Build the prototype
Put the priority into working software, typically in about 30 days, so the business tests the fix before anyone commits to scaling it.
Stay embedded
Carry the priority through adoption as a fractional Chief Strategy Officer, the same seat behind the AI operations case below.
Based in Spokane.
Reachable across the region.
In-person work is easiest across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Cheney, Airway Heights, Mead, and Deer Park, and a short drive over the state line into Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho. Remote engagements run anywhere.

Questions, answered.
What does an AI consultant in Spokane actually do?
The work starts with a short diagnostic that maps where AI would actually move a company's numbers, then a working prototype that proves the fix before anyone commits to scaling it. Companies that want it can carry the priority forward with a fractional Chief Strategy Officer seat.
Why work with a Spokane-based practice instead of a national firm?
A local operator sits at the table and runs the same infrastructure used for client prototypes, in Spokane, every day, rather than flying in for a workshop and leaving a deck behind.
How fast is a working prototype?
About 30 days for a focused build: a short audit to rank the opportunity, a fixed-scope build, and a version the team tests on its own data before anyone scales it.
Do you work with companies outside Spokane?
Yes. In-person work is easiest across the Inland Northwest, including Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho. Engagements elsewhere run remotely.
