At AR Advisory & Consulting, we partner with retail, mobility and financial services companies to do the research and apply the experience to support better decision-making with data. We deliver technology strategy, market planning and operational efficiency, primarily in three areas of expertise: 

Computer Vision, Gen AI & Payments

Computer Vision, Gen AI & Payments

Computer Vision, Gen AI & Payments - Skyrocketing interest in computer vision, Gen AI and embedded payments has created a wave of opportunity—and uncertainty. Organizations are eager to adopt these transformative technologies but often face a maze of vendors, architectures and use cases. From checkout-free retail and curbside automation to personalized experiences driven by real-time data, the promises are compelling—but execution requires a steady hand on the rudder.

At AR Advisory and Consulting, we help clients separate the signal from the noise. With deep experience across computer vision, AI and commerce infrastructure, we evaluate the landscape and identify strategies that align with your business goals. Our focus is on practical innovation—solutions that scale, deliver measurable outcomes and meet rising customers’ expectations. Whether you’re rethinking your retail experience or integrating intelligent automation into operations, we help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

GTM/Product & Sales Led Growth (PLG & SLG) - Sales growth is the lifeblood of any organization—startups and mature companies alike. As a former Chief Revenue Officer and long-time leader across sales, account management, and marketing, I’ve personally led sales growth from $0 to $50MM ARR. We understand firsthand the urgency and complexity of building scalable revenue. At AR Advisory & Consulting, we help organizations craft and operationalize effective growth strategies — whether driven by product-led adoption, sales-led outreach or a hybrid motion.

Today's growth environment demands more than hustle. Product cycles are accelerating, competition is intensifying, and the line between sales, marketing and success is blurring. We guide clients through modern GTM design, including high-value targeting, next-generation contact management and data-backed expansion strategies within the existing customer base. Our goals are to create clarity, alignment and momentum in your growth strategy—so your teams spend less time hoping and more time winning.

Acquisition, Investment Strategy & Due Diligence

Acquisition, Investment & Due Diligence - In critical M&A and investment decisions, it’s not enough to understand what a technology does—you need to know how it works, how it scales, and what it truly takes to deploy and maintain it. At AR Advisory & Consulting, we dive deep into the underlying data architecture, security model, market fit, and the operational complexity of modern retail and commerce technologies. Whether you're acquiring, investing or building, our approach ensures you see beyond the pitch deck to the real levers of value and risk.

Our edge lies in bridging traditional diligence frameworks with real-world operating experience. We assess not just the technology stack, but also its impact on product direction, go-to-market strategy and long-term competitive posture. By combining analytical, financial, and strategic insight with hands-on understanding of retail systems and commerce infrastructure, we help clients make confident, informed decisions that unlock durable growth.

“Andy collaborated with me on a private equity due diligence project related to computer vision technology. His depth of expertise in this fascinating niche is unparalleled. He was able to bring a true ‘voice of the practitioner’ and unique data-driven insights to our project. Andy never over-promised, he always over-delivered, and he has the executive presence you would expect from someone that has been a C-level executive for many years. I would love to work with Andy again!”
