Meet Kola
The person behind
the systems you're buying.
I'm the founder of Kola AI Systems. I'm a former LinkedIn employee — Senior Account Executive — and my lane has always been owning digital marketing at scale: advertiser portfolios, live budgets, and outcomes measured in pipeline and revenue, not vanity metrics.
The LinkedIn-era revenue and scale from those portfolios — spend managed, accounts in motion, ROI lift — are in the row directly under this section. Today I build governed AI programs and workflow automation for teams that need audit-ready delivery. I previously served in the U.S. Army National Guard as an HR specialist — high-stakes personnel and records work that still shapes how I think about process, documentation, and working under scrutiny.

LinkedIn-era proof
What the work looked like at scale.
Two anonymized examples from the paid social years — same rigor I bring when we wire up your brokerage systems.
Heavy spend, weak pipeline.
Rebuilt targeting and creative path so spend reached asset managers, not random corporate titles. Added retargeting and a cleaner handoff to sales. Result: stronger ROAS on closed revenue and a shorter path to first deal.

Stack I ship today leans on Gemini, Claude, Python, FastAPI, and Next.js — the same tooling behind your portal and automations.
Why this work
I don't sell finished AI. I build systems that improve in production.
Most teams don't need another demo deck — they need programs that stay documented when models and vendors change, with evidence in a portal instead of scattered screenshots. That's the shape of work I focus on.
Brokerages are sitting on two live problems: tools that nobody has documented or governed, and a book that isn't being worked as hard as it could be. I build systems that close both gaps at once — and I dogfood the same stack on my own ops first.
Next step
See if there's a fit.
