Chicago's Expert AI Consultant
Proven AI expertise for Chicago and Midwest businesses
Chicago is the economic engine of the Midwest and one of America's most important business centers. From manufacturing to finance to professional services, Chicago companies need operational efficiency to compete.
I am Zack Shields, and I help Chicago businesses implement AI solutions that deliver measurable results. Based in Orlando, I serve clients throughout the Midwest.
Chicago businesses built on hard work and efficiency deserve technology that matches their values. AI automation multiplies your team's capabilities without losing the human touch.
The Efficiency Challenge Chicago Businesses Face

I am Zack Shields, a business and technology consultant with a unique background that combines real business operations with deep technical expertise. Unlike consultants who only advise, I run multiple businesses where I use the same strategies and tools I recommend to clients.
My experience includes managing real estate operations worth hundreds of millions in Silicon Valley, operating short-term rentals with over 700 stays annually, and owning a bar where I built enterprise-level inventory software from scratch. This hands-on experience means my recommendations come from practical reality, not just theoretical knowledge.
When you work with me, you get a partner who understands both the technical possibilities and the business realities you face. I focus on solutions that deliver measurable results and provide a money-back guarantee on automation implementations to demonstrate my confidence in delivering value.
My approach prioritizes practical outcomes over impressive technology. Every recommendation is evaluated based on its potential to save time, reduce costs, and grow your business. I believe in building long-term relationships with clients rather than one-time engagements, and many of my clients have worked with me for years as their businesses have evolved.
