Leaders in counsel atop a castle tower, a moat below and a city skyline behind
Narrative advisory·For the C-suite

Trust is your last moat. Let's build it, story by story.

AI can copy your product. It has no access to your lived experiences, or the trust people have in you. I work with you, one-on-one, to perfect the stories you tell, each one aligned to a clear brand narrative that fits your brand and your audience's needs.

The problem

Your story isn't landing. And your audience can tell.

01Every leader tells a different storyExecutives, sales and marketing describe the company in different words. Audiences hear noise, not a narrative.
02The message is about you, not themPresentations lead with features and milestones. Your audience is looking for their own story in yours, and doesn’t find it.
03More content, less trustAI multiplied the volume. Attention shrank, and anything generic gets discounted as synthetic.

Where advisory delivers

The moments your story has to win.

Board & investor narrativesClimb the trust ladder, from a first meeting to the relationship that compounds.

Change & crisis narrativesReorgs, pivots and hard quarters, told with the candor that protects trust.

Why Shlomi

Counsel from both sides of the table.

Most AI experts can't tell a compelling story. Most storytellers lack AI credibility. I've built both: 20+ years with Fortune 100/500 brands like Nokia, IBM and American Express, and today co-founder & CMO of DecisionAdvantage.ai, building with agentic AI every day.
