Jay Templeton Consulting · Bellevue, WA
Fractional CTO, CPO & CMO.
AI consulting, product and go-to-market.
I've spent 35 years turning new technology into revenue, at Microsoft and in companies I've built. Today I help companies put AI to work and get new products into market, and I step into the leadership team when there's a senior gap to fill.
Ex-Microsoft · CEO North America, Intergen · Co-founder, Aware Group (acquired by HSO)
How I work
I stay until it works.
Once we agree the work, I stay with it until it's running and the numbers show up, whether that's an AI build or a seat on your leadership team.
Selected work
From Microsoft NZ in 1996 to an exit in 2024.

Thirty-five years, one throughline
I joined Microsoft in 1996 and later ran Intergen's North American business for five years. In 2016 I co-founded Aware Group, which HSO acquired in 2024. More recently I built the original Windows Copilot for Business demos. Today I'm fractional CTO and AI lead for GG International and CTO of Patient Concierge. The throughline hasn't changed: find where new technology makes a business money, then make it work.
Fit
Who I work with
Companies in any industry that need someone senior on AI or on getting a product to market. Usually that means founders, CEOs and boards, plus the fractional executives and consultants who bring me in alongside them.
I'm not the right fit if you want a strategy deck to hand your team, a tutorial on building it yourself, or a cheerleader for tools you've already bought.
