Business Strategist, AI Builder
Andy Kannurpatti
For 25 + years I’ve moved from the lab to leading businesses, always pushing the limits of how we create, scale, and sell products. Whether it was introducing data‑driven quality control, launching fast‑access flexographic plates, enabling low‑loss flex circuits for 5G phones, or co‑founding a sustainable‑materials startup, my rule has been simple: adopt tools that lift performance, shorten cycles, and deepen customer trust. Aligning technology, people, and strategy turns innovation into better performance, lower cost, cleaner footprint at customers delivering profitable business growth.
To discern hype from reality, I set out to understand AI’s true business impact. Last June, I completed Wharton’s AI for Business specialization, learning how AI can create value, ethical frameworks, risks in deployment, and enterprise adoption strategies. This month, I did the AI Builder course by Ed Donner, which gave me hands‑on implementation experience with AI agents, Agentic Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), voice agents, and low‑code automation. The result? I now see AI as a rapid prototype engine that can shorten sales cycles, improve customer experience, cut support costs, and accelerate product adoption.
I am looking to partner & reconnect with business leaders in manufacturing, electronics, packaging & printing, distribution, and sustainability, AI practitioners who demand a results‑first mindset, and early‑stage innovators seeking a clear path from concept to market. If your organization is ready to move beyond hype and achieve measurable, customer‑centric impact, let’s connect. Together we’ll turn data into decisions, ideas into products, and potential into performance.
