## About the Founder

Gisele Hasman is the founder of GQ & Company. She was named Top Artificial Intelligence Trainer of 2026 by the California State Treasurer's Office at the 4th Annual AI Business Summit. Her background includes 20+ years across sales, marketing, account management, consulting, and training, including media buying at Experian under CFPB oversight (managing more than $5 million per month in ad spend), digital sales at the Orange County Register, and TV advertising at MTV, ESPN, CNN, and Fox News.

## Services

GQ & Company offers four primary service lines:

1. **Live AI Workshops** — Hands-on, practitioner-led AI training for teams. Workshops cover practical AI tool use, prompt engineering, and workflow integration. Designed to produce same-day actionable results. Available in English and Spanish.

2. **AI Automation & Adoption Strategy** — Strategic engagements for leadership teams planning a meaningful AI rollout. Includes discovery, workflow and automation audit, sequenced roadmap, team readiness planning, and ongoing advisory.

3. **AI Integration & Strategy** — Use-case prioritization for businesses with hundreds of possible AI applications. Identifies the highest-leverage opportunities that move revenue, save hours, or close measurable business gaps.

4. **1:1 Executive AI Coaching** — Private coaching for founders, CEOs, and senior leaders who need to personally develop AI fluency to lead their organizations effectively.

## Core Philosophy

AI rollouts deliver real ROI when planned, not improvised. Most failed AI initiatives don't fail because the tools don't work, they fail because companies automate the wrong things, skip the strategic groundwork, or roll out tools without preparing the team. GQ & Company plans the strategy, the team, and the implementation as one connected conversation.
