About SkyeStaq

Putting AI to work for small and mid-size businesses

The potential is real. We help you reach it.

What makes us different

Most AI consultants come from one direction. They know the technology well and learn the business as they go. The trouble is that the things most likely to derail an AI implementation aren't technical. They're operational. Processes that aren't documented, data that isn't accessible, teams that haven't bought in. Plenty of technical consultants can spot those problems. Far fewer are equipped to fix them.

SkyeStaq brings both sides to every engagement. Our practitioners pair deep experience in business operations and organizational change with hands-on digital transformation and systems expertise. That means we can do the operational groundwork and build the AI solution on top of it. Very few firms in this market offer both under one roof.

Why we started SkyeStaq

For most of the history of business technology, the tools that genuinely move a company forward were out of reach for smaller businesses. They were priced for enterprise budgets, took months to implement, or came from vendors who made it hard to ever leave. Small and mid-size businesses made do with less, or did without.

AI is changing that. For the first time, a 40-person company can put the same caliber of capability to work as an organization many times its size, built around its own data and owned on its own terms. Every business runs on information. What used to separate the large from the small was the ability to do something with it, and that gap is closing fast.

We started SkyeStaq because we believe that shift is real, and because we have seen how much it can change for a business that gets it right.

Who we're for

The owners we work with aren't resistant to AI. Most are already using it in some form. What they're looking for is a partner who understands that their team is a competitive advantage worth protecting, and that the point of AI adoption is to give people back time for the work that grows the business. Someone who understands that the relationships behind their brand aren't all meant to be automated. And someone honest about what AI can and can't do, rather than selling the most impressive version of the story.

We don't need to be experts in your industry to do that well. You are. The best outcomes come from pairing what we bring, the method and the technology, with what you know about how your business actually works. That partnership is what we build every engagement around.

SkyeStaq is led by Michelle Rodriguez and Greg Chait, who together bring more than four decades of experience in business operations and digital transformation across small businesses and Fortune 500 organizations. They work directly with every client, which means the expertise that shaped each service is the same expertise in the room when your engagement is underway.
