18 years in technical recruiting. I've built hiring operations for startups scaling from 5 engineers to 500+, specializing in software engineering, cloud/DevOps, GTM, and AI/Machine Learning. I've helped founders understand what great hiring looks like.
But the real breakthrough came when I founded ViewsAI—a modern executive search firm built for the AI era. Before ChatGPT, before everyone was talking about AI, I was building the founding AI leadership teams at Big 4 consulting firms and AI-native companies. I watched firsthand how the best operators think differently about AI.
The pattern I noticed: The founders hiring the best AI teams weren't waiting for AI to mature. They were learning it, building with it, and teaching their teams to move faster.
So I started documenting the playbooks. Not recruiting theory. Not "leadership lessons." The actual workflows, prompts, and systems that work: how to screen candidates faster with Claude, how to write cold emails that convert with ChatGPT, how to build your own AI agents to run your business.
That's O'Brien HQ. Practical AI education for founders and operators who actually ship.
