This workshop is part of the OPEN AI Roundtable Workshop Series, built for business leaders who want to move past the AI hype and into real applications.

Our event speaker is Mehrab Momin, Founder of aiCTO Services. As the founder of aiCTO.services, he serves as a Fractional AI CTO for startups and growth-stage companies, helping teams move from idea to working AI products in weeks through practical, execution-focused leadership. He has led engineering, product, and AI initiatives across SaaS, fintech, industrial, healthcare, and real-estate technology. Mehrab is a veteran product and engineering leader with over two decades of experience building complex, scalable software systems and transforming organizations through AI-native solutions.

Join us for an interactive 90-minute AI Roundtable workshop on Friday, February 20th at 9am CT, designed for business owners, innovators, and technology leaders who want to improve productivity and drive better business.

In This Interactive Session, Mehrab will:
Clarify what “AI-native” really means for modern businesses
Walk through how a service business can run with AI as the execution layer
Explore where human judgment must stay in the loop—and why
Show how these systems can be productized and scaled with trust intact
While examples may include client service businesses, this discussion is relevant for any leader thinking about AI strategy, operational leverage, and long-term impact. This is a practical, no-hype conversation for business owners and executives who care about building things that last.
