Experienced AI Leadership. Practical Guidance
I’m Trevor Aeschliman, founder of Dive Data, Principal Data Scientist and AI Engineer, and an instructor teaching AI and machine learning through eCornell, Cornell University’s online education platform. I bring nearly a decade of industry experience to helping founders evaluate AI opportunities, make sound technical decisions, and guide their teams from idea to production.
My experience includes:
-
Production AI at scale:
-
Nutrien: Pioneered predictive modeling, scaling the initiative to $55M in additional captured sales within three years.
-
HealthEquity: Co-invented and deployed a patented AI claims auto-reimbursement application available to 17M members.
-
Monogram Health: Guide clinical data science strategy and scale generative AI adoption, supporting 60,000+ chronic-care patients.
-
-
Building teams and capabilities: Helping establish and grow data science functions, shaping technical roadmaps, and guiding hiring and delivery.
-
Startup and executive collaboration: Working with executives, founders, business leaders, and technical teams to assess feasibility, prioritize investments, and connect technical work to business goals.
-
Teaching and mentorship: Over 10 years of teaching experience, including teaching Python, machine learning, and AI through eCornell, with an emphasis on making complex concepts understandable and actionable.
I hold a master’s degree in Applied Statistics, a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics, and am currently pursuing a master's in Philosophy, Science, and Religion (AI-focused).
Through Dive Data, I bring this experience directly to founders who need senior AI guidance as their businesses grow.
Understand Your Business
We begin with a discovery session focused on your goals, current challenges, and one priority workflow. We review the relevant tools, available data, and team capabilities to understand what a useful solution would require.
Evaluate Opportunities
I identify and prioritize up to three AI opportunities based on potential business value, technical feasibility, effort, and risk. You’ll understand what’s worth pursuing, what needs more investigation, and what can wait.
Leave with a Practical Roadmap
You receive a concise written assessment and a readout session covering the recommended starting point, key dependencies, and next steps. We discuss whether existing tools, custom development, or further validation makes the most sense.
AI Opportunity and Roadmap Assessment
What’s included:
Discovery session • Focused workflow and technology review •
Prioritized opportunities • Written assessment • Readout meeting
EACH ASSESSMENT HAS AN AGREED SCOPE, TIMELINE, AND FIXED FEE BEFORE WORK BEGINS. IMPLEMENTATION IS SCOPED SEPARATELY.
WHY AI ADVISORY?
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry, but knowing where and how to apply it is often the hardest part.
Most organizations don't need another AI tool—they need a clear strategy. The companies creating lasting value with AI are identifying the right opportunities, prioritizing high-impact initiatives, and implementing solutions that solve real business problems.
That's where we help.
Dive Data partners with startup founders and business leaders to cut through the hype and build practical AI strategies that drive measurable results. Whether you're exploring generative AI, AI agents, workflow automation, or machine learning, we provide the executive guidance needed to make informed decisions and execute with confidence.
AI isn't about replacing people—it's about empowering teams, accelerating growth, and building a stronger, more competitive business.
AI OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
EVERY BUSINESS HAS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE AI—BUT NOT EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS WORTH PURSUING. WE HELP LEADERS IDENTIFY THE HIGHEST-IMPACT USE CASES, EVALUATE FEASIBILITY, AND PRIORITIZE AI INITIATIVES THAT ALIGN WITH BUSINESS GOALS AND DELIVER MEASURABLE VALUE.
AI STRATEGY AND ROADMAP
SUCCESSFUL AI ADOPTION REQUIRES MORE THAN SELECTING THE LATEST TOOLS. WE WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD PRACTICAL AI ROADMAPS, IDENTIFY QUICK WINS, AND DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES THAT REDUCE RISK WHILE CREATING A LASTING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
AI IMPLEMENTATION AND EXECUTIVE ADVISORY
FROM GENERATIVE AI AND AI AGENTS TO WORKFLOW AUTOMATION AND PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS, WE PROVIDE EXECUTIVE GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE AI ADOPTION JOURNEY. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP ORGANIZATIONS IMPLEMENT AI WITH CONFIDENCE, MEASURE RESULTS, AND BUILD CAPABILITIES THAT SCALE AS THEIR BUSINESS GROWS.
Let's Discuss Your AI Priorities
Every engagement begins with a complimentary 30-minute strategy session. We'll discuss your business goals, identify where AI can create the greatest impact, and determine whether we're the right fit to work together.
