AI Operator Sprint · AI Boot Camp · 1:1 Training
Train yourself in AI.
Embed it in your company.
Both. Fast.
I've been in your seat — running a company, sitting on boards, raising capital, training for races at 5am because that's the only hour nobody owns. AI rewrote how I work. Now I help leaders do two things, in this order:
Train you personally — one day at the AI Boot Camp, or 1:1 around your schedule. You leave fluent, with a working toolkit and a 90-day plan.
Deploy AI inside your company — the AI Operator Sprint. 4–6 weeks embedded with your team. We identify your highest-leverage AI bets and ship them. By the time we're done, your company is running on workflows you helped build — and a knowledge system that doesn't depend on me.
No theory. No slides. No vendor demos. Operator to operator.
The AI Bootcamp for Leaders with no time
Your teams are training.
Are you? And is your company?
No serious athlete delegates their training to their support team. They show up, they do the work, they build the capacity themselves — then they lead from that position of strength.
AI leadership is no different. You can't direct what you don't understand. You can't challenge what you haven't tried. You can't lead from the sideline. And no consultant deck installs AI inside your company — your team has to live it.
Your Executive AI Trainer
I've been training for this my whole career.
I'm Cris Grossmann. I've competed as a triathlete for 15 years. I know exactly what separates athletes who plateau from those who keep improving: a trainer who has done the work themselves, builds a programme specific to you, and refuses to let you coast.
I apply that same philosophy to AI. I don't teach from textbooks. I built Beekeeper from zero to $50M ARR, raised $100M, ran the post-merger integration at LumApps. AI changed how I work, how I decide, how I compete — and I can show you exactly how, session by session.
That's the difference. Most AI consultants haven't run a P&L. Most AI trainers haven't carried a quota, raised a round, or fired anyone. I've done all three. When I tell you what AI changes for your role, your board, your sales motion, your back office — I'm not theorizing. I've already done it for myself.
ETH Zurich · PhD, Automatic Control
Systems thinking, model predictive control. I see AI the way an engineer sees a performance system.
Beekeeper · Co-Founder & CEO, 14 years
0 → $50M ARR. $300M+ exit. I scaled through every stage AI is disrupting now.
Board Member · Doodle & others
Multiple active board mandates. I sit in your chair, ask the AI questions you'll face, and carry the same governance responsibilities you do.
Triathlete · 15 years competitive
No shortcuts. Marginal gains. Race-day performance built in training. Same philosophy here.
Author · The Rise of the Frontline Worker
I wrote the book on how technology changes the humans who use it. Without AI. Now I live it daily.
Operator-in-residence · Yeastup AG · 2026
First AI Operator Sprint. Production diagnostics, sales prioritization, investor strategy, company "Brain." 2 hours of workshop → 4 weeks of embedded work.
Training plans
Pick your programme.
You have three ways to work with me. They build on each other — most CEOs start with a Boot Camp, then bring me into their company for a Sprint. Some go straight to the Sprint. Some prefer 1:1.
Tier · Operator-grade · 4–6 weeks embedded
AI Operator Sprint
4–6 weeks embedded with your team. Your highest-leverage AI bets, deployed.
This is what I do when a Boot Camp isn't enough. I come into your company, work alongside your leadership and the people who actually run the business, and we ship AI workflows into your operation. Not strategy decks. Not pilot programmes that die. Running systems your team owns by week six.
Format
- Week 1 Diagnostic on-site. We identify the 3–5 AI bets with the highest expected return for your business.
- Weeks 2–5 We build and deploy them — together. Sales prioritization, document intelligence, decision-support, internal knowledge.
- Week 6 Handoff, team training, written playbook. Your company runs them. I leave.
What you get
- 3–5 AI workflows running in your business
- A "Brain" — your company's first proper AI knowledge system
- Your team trained · documented · self-sustaining
- 12-month roadmap for what's next
- 90-day check-in included
Who this is for
- Companies CHF 5M–150M ARR
- CEO who wants AI fluency and AI inside the business
- Leadership willing to do the work — this is not a delivered-on-a-platter engagement
One full Boot Camp day. Small group of peers. You arrive as a spectator and leave as someone who has done the work — with a personal AI toolkit running, a 90-day plan in hand, and the muscle memory of having built something yourself.
Where are you today? Honest baseline — tools you've tried, decisions you can't make, gaps you can feel but not name.
The 5 AI tools every leader should use daily. Live build. You leave this block with them running on your device.
Coffee. Peer conversation. Questions surface here — good ones.
Map AI to your actual decisions and workflows. Not generic. Your company, your sector, your specific performance gaps.
Peer exchange. Open Q&A. Unfiltered — this is where the real conversations happen.
How your competitors are using AI. How to evaluate vendor claims. How to set the AI agenda on your board.
You design, build, and test one real AI workflow. Something you use on Monday. Not a demo you watched.
Concrete actions, tools, milestones. Accountability commitments. Built around your life and your organisation.
Four hours. Zero warmup. Straight into the work. The Half Day Boot Camp is designed for executives who can't clear a full day but refuse to keep spectating. You leave with a working toolkit and a 90-day training plan — in half the time.
Where you are today vs. where you need to be. Honest, fast, specific to your role.
5 tools, live build, running on your device before the coffee break.
Coffee. Questions.
Your decisions. Your workflows. Your sector. Not a generic AI tour.
EU AI Act obligations, what to ask your team, your personal training plan for the next 90 days.
No group. No fixed date. No full day blocked. The Personal AI Training Sessions are 1:1, online or in person, built entirely around your schedule and your specific role. 4–8 sessions of 60–90 minutes — the same rigour as the Boot Camp, at the pace your calendar allows.
Where you are today. Your tools, your decisions, your gaps. Honest baseline — specific to your company and sector.
The tools and workflows that matter for your specific role. Built live. In use before the next session.
Map AI directly to your highest-leverage decisions. Strategy, communication, competitive intelligence — specific to you.
One real AI process per session. You design it, test it, use it. Cumulative — each session builds on the last.
Where you go from here. Tools, habits, 90-day targets. Optional: move to monthly retainer for continued coaching.
Performance outcomes
What you can do
after training.
01
Use AI daily — from Monday morning
5 tools set up, running, and part of your workflow before you leave. Not homework. Done in the session.
02
Know your performance gaps — and how to close them
A precise map of where AI creates leverage in your specific role. Not a generic framework. Your decisions, your workflows.
03
Perform in the boardroom
Challenge vendor claims. Direct your CTO. Set the AI agenda. Ask the questions that signal you've done the work — because you have.
04
Race with a plan
A 90-day training plan built in the session. Specific targets, tools, habits. The same rigour you'd expect from a serious athletic programme.
05
Train with peers at your level
10 people maximum. All CEOs or board members. The peer group trains you as much as the programme does — and the connections last.
06
Own a workflow you built yourself
Not a demo you watched someone else run. A real AI process you designed, tested, and know works — because you built it in the room.
07
Your company actually runs on AI
Not a pilot. Not a proof of concept. Actual workflows your sales, ops, or back office uses every day — built with your team, owned by your team, documented for your team. The kind of thing that survives a personnel change.
08
A "Brain" that doesn't leave when I leave
A structured AI knowledge system your business can keep asking questions of long after the Sprint ends. Sales intelligence. Operational data. Strategic memory. The single most-asked follow-on from leaders who've worked with me.
EU AI Act · Article 4
AI fitness is now a legal obligation.
Since 2 February 2025, every company deploying AI tools is legally required to ensure their leadership has sufficient AI literacy. The law calls it "AI literacy." In training terms: your executives need to be fit, not just informed.
Attending the AI Boot Camp gives you a documented training record and a certificate. Your legal team gets what they need. Your board sees you're ahead of the curve.
"Providers and deployers shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf."
— EU Regulation 2024/1689 · In force: 2 February 2025
Train your leadership team.
One invoice. One Boot Camp. Compliant.
What this means for your training
Personal Duty of Care
As CEO or VR-Mitglied, you carry personal accountability. "My CTO handles it" doesn't satisfy Article 4 at leadership level.
Compliance Training Budget
The Boot Camp qualifies as regulatory compliance training — not personal development. Company expense, not personal.
Swiss DSG Alignment
The training covers what AI systems can and cannot do with personal data under Swiss law — a governance essential for every board.
The Window Is Now
Enforcement escalates through 2026–2027. Companies training their leadership now are ahead. Those who wait will react under pressure.
Executive AI Fitness
Three ways to
train.
Half Day Boot Camp
Four hours.
Zero warmup.
- 4-hour focused session (08:30–12:30)
- Max 8 participants — CEOs & board members only
- AI fitness baseline + executive toolkit
- Personalised use-case drills
- 90-day training plan
AI Boot Camp · Full Day
One day.
Everything changes.
- Full training day (08:30–17:30)
- Max 10 participants — CEOs & board members only
- Competitive AI strategy session
- Race simulation — build your own workflow
- Working lunch included
- Personal 90-day training plan
- Compliance certificate included
The Boot Camp is also how most CEOs scope a Sprint. You'll leave with personal AI fluency and — if relevant — a sharp view of what 4 weeks inside your company would deliver. No pressure, no upsell. Just an honest conversation if it makes sense.

warming up.
Your competitors are training. Your teams are training. Some of them are no longer just training — they're racing. The question isn't whether AI matters to your business. It's whether you and your company are fit enough to lead it. One day starts you. A Sprint changes the whole company.
