<p class=\"itbd-bio-text\">Alex Bratton has been working on AI implementation inside real businesses since before it became a channel conversation. At Lextech and AIWhy, he helps organizations move from AI interest to AI decisions, specifically the business conversations that determine whether an AI initiative produces results or just produces activity. His coaching covers AI strategy, AI implementation, and how to talk about AI with clients, leadership teams, and boards in a way that leads to actual forward movement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n      <h3 class=\"itbd-bio-sub\">Area of Expertise<\/h3>\r\n      <ul class=\"itbd-bio-list\">\r\n          <li>AI strategy<\/li>\r\n  <li>AI implementation<\/li>\r\n  <li>AI business conversations<\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d648fa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6d648fa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4015b66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4015b66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/itbd.net\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Christopher-M.-Carter.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13810\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itbd.net\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Christopher-M.-Carter.webp 400w, https:\/\/itbd.net\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Christopher-M.-Carter-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/itbd.net\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Christopher-M.-Carter-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31c5fe4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-social-media\" data-id=\"31c5fe4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-social-media.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t\t <ul class=\"ekit_social_media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-repeater-item-b2d2bc1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/christopher-carter-885159\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LinkedIn\" class=\"linkedin\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon icon-linkedin\"><\/i>\n                                                                                                            <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-607014d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"607014d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Christopher M.

He also works on talent strategy and using data and AI to improve operational performance across a business that can&rsquo;t rely on one person having visibility into everything.

class=\"itbd-bio-text\">Rich Carlton coaches at the intersection of AI, M&amp;A, and team building, three areas where most MSPs are making decisions they haven&rsquo;t fully thought through yet. At aunalytics, he&rsquo;s led a technically advanced organization through multiple acquisitions and built the team required to execute on both sides of that work. His coaching covers how to bring AI into MSP operations in a way that actually changes performance, how to approach M&amp;A whether you&rsquo;re buying or selling, and how to build the leadership bench that makes any of it sustainable. If you&rsquo;re sitting on a decision in any of these areas and want to pressure-test it with someone who&rsquo;s been inside it, Rich is the right person in the room.<\/p>\n\n      <h3

class=\"itbd-bio-text\">Chris Caprio&rsquo;s coaching is for the MSP owner who knows the business is growing but can&rsquo;t get the financial picture to tell a clean story. He built the financial reporting infrastructure from the ground up, and he works with operators on exactly that: setting up reporting that actually reflects what the business costs to run, raising debt and equity when the timing is right, and understanding the financial mechanics of M&amp;A from both sides. He&rsquo;s direct about what the numbers mean and what they&rsquo;re hiding. If you&rsquo;re heading into a fundraise, a transaction, or just trying to read your own financials like a CEO, this is the session.<\/p>\n\n      <h3 class=\"itbd-bio-sub\">Area of Expertise<\/h3>\n
