The Cross-Functional Builder

From Facility Manager to Strategic Capital Allocator

I spent a decade optimizing buildings the old way. Then I realized the real leverage wasn't in the equipment — it was in the intelligence layer sitting on top of it.

Why JCI Just Co-Invested M in a Fusion Model Competitor — and What the Cap Table Tells Owner-Operators

What a $125M cap table tells owner-operators about the next 24 months of AI-HVAC architecture — read in the practitioner's voice, not the cap-table-as-PR voice. The AI-HVAC category is past the "is this real" phase.

Most coverage of the "88% AI pilot failure rate" stat treats it as a single black-box number. That framing is wrong. The 88% is recoverable when you split it into its three operational failure modes — and each mode maps to an architectural primitive…
