What actually goes wrong after you deploy AI
The dead pilot
Six figures spent. Never made it past the demo.
The breach
An AI tool nobody put behind real security became the way in.
The lawsuit
A hiring or pricing decision the model made — now a discrimination claim.
The blank stare
A board asked “what is our AI actually doing?” and the room went quiet.
Most leaders brace for one of these. The other three are what blindside them.
Four books — one operator — the rules, tests, and playbooks Jeff used in the chair to get ahead of each. Read one, or read all four. Written to be used, not shelved.
Cover all four and AI stops being the risk you brace for. It becomes what you deployed it for — producing, secure, defensible, and yours to answer for.
Four books. Four ways to stop AI from backfiring.
Agentic AI for Leaders
Prevents pilots that flop. Deploy AI that actually produces, at enterprise scale.
For: Leaders putting AI to work without an army of engineers.
Responsible AI Governance in Practice
Prevents the board questions you can't answer. Accountability, transparency, and performance in the age of AI agents.
For: Boards and operators installing governance that holds.
The Zero Trust CEO
Prevents the breach. Turn cybersecurity from a cost center into an advantage, with zero trust as the foundation for an AI-extended company.
For: CEOs and CIOs securing AI environments.
The Moral Code of AI
Prevents the lawsuit and the bias scandal. Decide what your AI is allowed to optimize for - and who's accountable when it's wrong.
For: Leaders whose AI is already making consequential calls.

Why Jeff
wrote these
Jeff Yelton spent 43 years building, running, and selling technology companies — including one he took from $45M to a $245M exit. McKinsey brings him in on Fortune 50 deals.
He wrote these because he watched leaders get the same things wrong for 40 years — and AI made every one of them faster and more expensive. Field manuals from someone who's been in the chair, not theory.
Don't take my word for it
Jeff's books go out to PE firms and Fortune 50 operators every week.
Every CEO is racing to adopt AI, but few have someone who can help them govern it. Jeff gives leaders a practical blueprint they can actually use.
Very few advisors combine Jeff's strategic clarity with the ability to actually execute. If you want a partner who keeps you relevant in the decade ahead, start with Jeff.
