Speaker One-Sheet
Matthew Henry
Co-Founder & CEO, EffiWise Solutions
Book an operator who's actually shipping the AI he's talking about.
Most AI talks are given by people who sell AI. Matthew builds and runs it inside real insurance agencies, accounting firms, and operations. He is co-founder and CEO ofEffiWise Solutions, a Belmont, MS technology firm that consults on AI readiness and holds a portfolio of vertical software. He spent fifteen years leading sales and operations in equipment sales and industrial distribution before software, which is why the talks land with people who run operations instead of people who run slide decks.
Formats
- Keynote. Why AI rollouts fail, what readiness actually looks like, and what an operator sees that a vendor won't say.
- Breakout session. One workflow, end to end, from undocumented to automated, with the failure points shown.
- Panel. The operator seat. Deployment scars in conversations that otherwise run on vendor slides.
- Hands-on workshop. Attendees leave with prompts, guardrails, and a starting SOP. Build something real in the room.
What the audience walks out with
- Real screenshots from real deployments, not a hype reel.
- A prompt and skill library they keep, usable Monday morning.
- A build-vs-buy framework grounded in the readiness thesis: AI amplifies what it can read.
- The honest version of where AI helps in operations today, and where it dangerously doesn't.
