Forward Deployed Operator Demo Day: Cohort 1
Hiring someone who can take a messy business problem, figure out what’s worth building, and use AI to deliver results? Come meet 7 people who’ve spent the last 8 weeks doing exactly that.
At Forward Deployed Operator School’s first Demo Day, our graduates will show the systems they built for real companies. All are looking for their next opportunity.
Who should attend?
Hiring managers and recruiters filling roles like:
Forward Deployed Operator
AI Implementation or Automation Specialist
GTM Engineer
Revenue, Sales, or Marketing Operations
Business Operations or Business Systems
Solutions Architect or Solutions Engineer
Forward Deployed Engineer, depending on the role’s coding requirements and the candidate’s background
What makes a Forward Deployed Operator different?
They’re business-side generalists who start with a KPI and work backward to what’s worth building. They own the work end-to-end: understanding the problem, building the system, getting people using it, and measuring results.
For an AI transformation leader, this is the person who takes a priority and runs with it, giving you more room to focus on strategy, prioritization, and storytelling.
What you’ll see
Each participant will walk through:
The business problem and KPI they set out to improve
What they built and why
The decisions, tradeoffs, and challenges along the way
How they approached testing, adoption, and measuring impact
You’ll see how they think, build, and communicate, with time to ask questions directly.
October 8 at 12:30pm ET · Virtual · 90 minutes · 100% free
Live attendees also get free, ongoing access to our vetted talent pool.
Hosted by FDO School co-founders Philip Lakin, Director of AI Transformation at Zapier, and Ysimer Gonzalez.
Come meet your next figure-it-out person.
