Hi, I'm Riché!

VP of Product
AI Context Layers Architect
Building Data & Intelligence Platforms

I turn raw AI models into reliable, context-rich intelligence and decision engines for product and GTM teams.
At Suzy I rewired a legacy survey company into an AI-native Decision Intelligence Platform in six weeks. Earlier I co-founded Grandstage and shipped a proprietary RAG + vector-search answer engine that delivered $0 CAC and 300% growth.
Models get smarter monthly. Context Layers = the new moat.
