04 · Fall 2026 launch · Morocco

A degree launch, run as one program.

For AUI Global's Fall 2026 launch in Morocco I built the program that brought it together: seven workstreams, each with its own owners, deadlines and dependencies, all landing on the same first day of class. I also lead one of the launch regions end to end.

PlanBuildLaunch

First day of class

One plan, many ownersEach workstream had a lead, a weekly target and a clear hand off to the next.
Dependencies tracked dailyAdmissions waited on contracts, contracts on the model, placements on employers. Nothing moved alone.
Reported to the boardFigures first, built from live data, so decisions were made on the real position.

05 · Atlas · AI systems

AI systems and a second brain.

I built Atlas, AUI Global's internal platform. It collects what happens in every tool the team uses, and AI agents use it to handle the daily work.
