Course overview

Transform from task manager to AI-driven strategic project leader.

Transform Your Project Management Career in Just 3 Weeks


This course takes you from a task-focused project manager to a high-impact, AI-driven strategic leader. Built on the proven 10xPM framework, it equips you with the skills to align projects with business goals, harness AI for measurable outcomes, and position yourself as an indispensable leader in the future of project management.



The Growing Demand for Strategic PMs


PMI projects a need for 25 million new project managers by 2030, but here’s the catch: demand for traditional PMs is declining. Organizations are empowering teams to self-manage projects while adopting AI-driven approaches that prioritize results over oversight. To remain relevant, project managers must evolve their roles, skillsets, and mindsets as AI and agent technologies transform the industry.


PMI’s recent declaration underscores this shift:


“At PMI, we believe that assessing projects by meeting their triple constraints is no longer fully relevant in a world of hyper-competition, unstable regulations and policies, and fast-paced innovation...”


Delivering on time, within scope, and under budget is the baseline. Organizations now demand measurable business value and real outcomes. This course will show you how to exceed these demands and thrive in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.



Why Learn From Me?


With over 28 years of leadership experience leading global projects and delivering billions in value, I’ve learned one undeniable truth: strategy is the ultimate career accelerator. It’s what separates those who execute from those who lead.


This course is based on the principles that helped me rise from Senior PM to VP of PMO at a multi-billion-dollar AI tech leader, tripling my income in just seven years. With AI as your ally, you can accelerate this journey and unlock your leadership potential.


As co-founder of Intralign.ai—the first project management tool focused on outcomes—I’ve helped countless PMs future-proof their careers, transforming them into leaders who drive measurable impact. My expertise has been shared at industry-leading events like the PMI Silicon Valley AI Project Management Symposium and Silicon Valley AI Think Tank, PMI Chapter Workshops, and as co-host of the Future of Work 2.0 Podcast.


Combining a Computer Science background with certifications as a PMP and Agile Scrum Master, I bring a blend of cutting-edge AI expertise and strategic leadership insights designed to help you thrive in an AI-driven world.

Why This Course Matters

This course prepares you to lead that transformation, giving you the tools, skills, and confidence to thrive in an AI-driven future while delivering the results executives value most.



This Course May NOT Be a Good Fit If You're:


Content with Task Management: Sticking to the status quo risks irrelevance in an AI-driven future.

Resistant New Technology: Hesitating to adopt AI could mean falling behind as it reshapes the field.

Seeking a Quick Fix: Real transformation takes effort—this course provides the tools, but you must do the work.

Unready to Embrace Change: Staying static in a rapidly evolving world limits growth opportunities.



Personal Note


These aren’t barriers—they’re opportunities for reflection. If any of these resonate, it could mean you’re standing on the edge of transformation. Change is challenging, but it’s also the key to breakthroughs.


For those ready to grow, this course offers a unique opportunity to redefine your professional path. AI is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to expand your role, amplify your impact, and boost your earning potential.
