Who runs the workshop

Adoption is the hard part. That's the part I've done for 20 years.

Jonathan Malkin has spent two decades getting enterprise teams to actually use new technology, not just buy it. The workshops teach the AI workflows he already runs every day.

20+ years in enterprise technology, focused on adoption across Finance, HR, IT, Operations, Sales, and Marketing.
6 to 250 scaled a global solutions engineering organization at Automation Anywhere.
Built and running a daily AI operating system that ships code, drafts content, and runs real products.

Where the credibility comes from

Eight years inside the last big automation wave

From 2017 to 2025, Jonathan watched RPA move from one-off departmental wins to governed, federated programs. The tools are newer now. The hard questions, adoption, ownership, exceptions, and governance, are very familiar.

2017 – 2018
Sales Engineer, Automation Anywhere. On the front line of selling automation, translating messy operational pain into scoped, explainable builds.
2019 – 2021
Director of Operations, Presales. Scaled the global solutions engineering organization from 6 people to 250, the adoption engine behind the product.
2021 – 2023
Automation Architect, Strategic Accounts. Designing automation programs for the largest customers, where governance and operating models matter most.
2023 – 2025
Automation & AI Architect, Healthcare. Bringing AI into highly regulated workflows, then going independent in 2025 to build full-time.

That work crossed functions and borders: banking, airlines, and telecommunications; teams in the United States, Germany, and Brazil. Jonathan lived in Sao Paulo for five months in 2012, so working across cultures and time zones is practical experience, not a slide-deck abstraction.

What that means for your workshop

The workshop teaches what already works in production

Jonathan runs his own AI operating system across research, content, coding, scheduling, review, and memory. The consulting point of view comes from systems he actually uses, not slides.

Understand the real work

Sit with operators and map the actual workflow before touching a tool. Most AI projects skip this and fail here.

Decide what AI should touch

Automate, govern, delegate, or leave human. Make ownership explicit and keep a person in the review path.

Build the smallest useful thing

Ship a working build that proves the pattern and survives after the demo, not a throwaway proof of concept.

Proof, not theory

Built in public, demoed live

In April 2026, Jonathan gave an AI Tinkerers demo of Jules, his AI collaborator system. AI Tinkerers is a builder-first room: live systems and technical scrutiny over polished positioning.
