About
Ken Jackson
Founder of Nexus Advisory, Austin, Texas. 20+ years building software products and the teams behind them, as an engineer, a VP of Product and a principal product manager. Now I do it for owner-run businesses: find where the work leaks, then build the fix myself.
Track record
Built products at scale. Now building for owners.
- Led product at Volusion through an API-first rebuild for a platform serving 50,000+ merchants and $4B+ in yearly sales.
- As VP of Engineering at Camp Gladiator, shipped a virtual product in under 60 days, opening 50 states and 15 countries.
- Led product for an agentic ad-generation platform that cut creative iteration time by about 80%.
- Ran a code-verified workflow analysis for an enterprise operations program that found 120 hours a week of recoverable manual work across three roles.
How I work
One person, start to finish.
- The person who audits your business is the person who builds the fix. Nothing gets handed to a junior team.
- AI-amplified, human-judged. I use AI heavily to draft, analyze and move faster, and every decision passes through my judgment before it ships.
- I show the math. Every number in a report has its assumption written next to it so you can correct it.
- Where AI is the wrong answer, I say so. A better form or a simple automation often does the job.
- It runs on accounts you own. If we stop working together, everything stays with you.
- I run my own businesses on the same kinds of AI systems I build for clients.
