Brian Handrigan — Strategic AI Advisor
Brian Handrigan is a serial marketing-technology founder, inventor, and AI builder. Over two decades he co-founded and led a series of ad-tech companies — Advocado, Traaqr, and Click With Me Now — building measurement, attribution, and conversion systems that turned real-world activity into trackable signal. He is a named inventor on six issued U.S. patents spanning online-to-offline conversion tracking, automated call routing, and co-browsing. Most recently he built the NEXT90 and grāmatr AI platforms largely himself, harnessing AI agents to execute a decades-long vision for intelligent, self-improving software. He advises CPP on AI strategy — bringing an operator's view of where AI actually creates leverage and where it quietly burns budget.

[PUBLISHING FLAGS — resolve before this goes live:
- Patent count is 6 issued (registry-verified) — NOT 5 or 7. Do NOT reference the website-traffic-tracking filing (WO2019083848A1 / US20190130439A1) anywhere public — litigation-sensitive.
- Frame patents as "named inventor" (safe/accurate). Do NOT claim patent OWNERSHIP/exclusivity publicly — reassignment is in progress; verify final USPTO recordation first.
- Headshot still needed.]
