Caitlin Ferguson is the founder and CEO of COOPilots.io, where she teaches founders, operators, and teams to build AI that works the way they actually work. She has trained more than 150 leaders in AI for operations through live, hands-on classes -- the kind where everyone leaves with something they built for real work or real life, not a page of notes.

Before COOPilots, she spent 20 years as the operational right hand to founders and CEOs, including growing a social enterprise to exit, supporting international research on entrepreneurs, and advising growth-stage companies. She holds an MPA from the University of Georgia and serves on the board of Goodie Nation.

At home, she’s mom to a baby boy -- who now has his own app.
