Deep experience. One mission:
getting you to the next level.
I'm Delray Wannemacher, fractional Chief AI Officer. My career spans investment banking and capital markets — biotech, healthcare, and nearly every kind of company — public-company leadership, board service at the World Trade Center Atlanta, and AI automations deployed across my own portfolio companies. Now I put that experience to work for small businesses and small public companies, with priority for companies that give back. Drop your website below to start.

We execute the 90-day plan
Consult → design → implement → govern.
Three ways to engage. One way to start.
Every engagement begins with a 15-minute briefing: we determine whether there is a problem worth solving and whether I am the right operator to solve it. Scope and fees are set in writing after that conversation — no menu of packages, no pressure.
Executive AI Audit
30 Days · Fixed Fee, Quoted at Your Briefing
A board-ready audit of where AI creates measurable operating leverage in your organization — and where it does not.
- AI-readiness & infrastructure review
- Revenue, funding & messaging audit
- Prioritized 90-day opportunity map
- Written findings for leadership
- Executive walkthrough session
90-Day AI & Capital Roadmap
90 Days · Monthly Retainer
Hands-on execution: the systems identified in the Audit are designed, deployed, and governed — with weekly accountability to leadership.
- Automation of your top 3 priorities
- Custom workflow & agent architecture
- Governance, compliance & risk controls
- Weekly milestone reviews with leadership
- Measured reclamation of time & opex
Fractional CAIO Retainer
Ongoing · Custom Retainer
Standing Chief AI Officer leadership inside your executive team: strategy ownership, vendor and build governance, and delivery accountability — sustaining what the 90-day roadmap built, without the full-time hire.
For public-company clients, IR apps and filing/disclosure pipelines are delivered through our affiliate First Look Equities.
Fees are straightforward: a fixed fee for the Audit, a monthly retainer for the Roadmap, and a custom retainer for CAIO leadership — every engagement quoted in writing after your briefing.
Mission-Driven Commitment: Verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits and veteran-owned businesses engage at 50% of standard advisory rates — a standing policy, not a promotion. Mention your status at your briefing; verification is confirmed before any invoice is issued.
Three things, done well.
AI Automation
Custom agents and workflows that absorb the manual load — lead qualification, proposals, reporting, follow-up.
Executive Audits
AI-readiness, messaging, and funding gap audits that tell leadership exactly what to fix first — and what to skip.
Companies That Give Back
Priority engagement for organizations that give back — and a standing 50%-of-standard-rates policy for verified nonprofits and veteran-owned businesses.
Portfolio companies. Automations deployed.
I don't just advise — I operate. These are companies I own or co-founded, where the brand systems, campaign creative, and AI automations were built and deployed by the same playbook you'd engage.
First Look Equities
Investor relations and capital formation for public companies — the capital-markets engine of the portfolio.
Luxury Marine Life
AI concierge for yacht ownership, charter, and resale — lead qualification, proposals, and CRM automations running in production.
LuxuryMarineLife.shop
The commerce arm — marine lifestyle apparel and gift experiences, with 10% of every transaction pledged to GARMN.
GARMN
Global Aquatic Resource Management Network, co-founded with Angelina Cotta — Magic School Box & Magic Adventures youth programs; the give-back engine: healthy people, healthy water, healthy animals.
A working portfolio — every company shown is owned or co-founded by Delray Wannemacher; imagery is each brand's own. GARMN is a marine-conservation nonprofit (federal 501(c)(3) pending). No third-party client work is implied.
Small businesses and small public companies
Every engagement finds the operational leaks costing you the most, automates them, and returns leadership time to growing the company.
Small Public Companies
Streamline investor relations pipelines, automate SEC compliance filing prep, and package capital-market messaging to strengthen shareholder communications.
Small Businesses
Reclaim hours lost to manual back-office tasks, automate lead qualification and nurturing, and scale operations to support profitability and valuation.
Companies That Give Back
Nonprofits, veteran-owned businesses, and any company with giving built in move to the front of the line.
Capital. Operations. Giving back.
My career is capital markets first: founding First Look Equities in 2015, organizing years of investment conferences, and working across investment banking with nearly every kind of company — biotech, healthcare, technology, consumer, and beyond. That work continues alongside board service as Executive Board Member and VP of Business Development at the World Trade Center Atlanta.
I've also carried the operator's seat — as founder, Chairman & CEO of Edge Data Solutions (OTC: EDGS), an SEC-reporting company where I personally signed the Sarbanes-Oxley certifications until 2023. Today, through TimeBroker.ai and AI Edge, I deploy AI automations across my own portfolio companies, including Luxury Marine Life — the same systems I bring to clients as a fractional Chief AI Officer.
The give-back side is orchestrated by the Global Aquatic Resource Management Network (GARMN), which I co-founded alongside Angelina Cotta (acotta.life): buy back time, and invest it where it matters most — healthy people, healthy water, and healthy animals. That's the mentality I bring to every engagement, and why companies that give back get priority.
Digital assets are what we create. Time is what we give back.
"Come to the edge (AI Edge) where you can see the future..."
— Delray Peter Wannemacher, after Christopher Logue
The Timebroker Protocol in Action
We accept a small number of case-study partnerships at a time — each carries a 6-month measurement commitment, so capacity is set by my calendar. We measure your baseline opex, build custom automations, and track time saved.
LML Yacht Operations & Brokerage
Disclosure: Luxury Marine Life is an affiliated company co-owned by Delray Wannemacher — a first-party implementation, not an independent client engagement.
1. Baseline Status
Hand-crafting yacht charters, manually sorting broker applications, and a heavy weekly load of administrative email and opex coordination.
2. Applied Automation
Deployed a sovereign lead-qualification agent, a multi-agent RAG concierge, and automated proposal creation synced to a Firestore CRM.
3. Measurement Protocol
Baseline opex hours, active leads, and response times are logged monthly. Results are published only when the 6-month window closes, with the participant's sign-off — no projections, no synthetic metrics.
Apply as a Case Study: Agree to measure opex hours, active leads, and profits monthly for 6 months. Approved applicants receive a preferred case-study rate, confirmed in writing at your briefing.
