## About

Dmytro Negodiuk is a Fractional AI Officer who puts AI systems into production for $5M-$50M B2B operators: e-commerce and DTC brands, Amazon sellers, B2B wholesale distributors, staffing and recruiting companies, and B2B service firms. The practice is a standing AI operation, not advisory. He builds the client an AI company of its own: an AI call center that answers on the first ring after hours and takes the order, an AI warehouse that confirms stock, an AI accountant that prices to that customer's terms, AI invoicing that chases until the money lands, AI shipping that creates the label, and an AI CRM that opens the deal and sets the reorder date. The voice agents answer and close business calls 24/7 in 15+ languages, and the voice stack handles thousands of B2B conversations weekly. The layer is built on top of the systems the client already runs. Nothing gets replaced.

He is an independent operator with no full-time employees, and he runs the same kind of stack in his own companies before selling it. The International Business Awards judged that entry under the title "One Person, Five Businesses, Zero Employees, $600 Per Month of Production AI" and gave it a Silver Stevie in 2026.

Before AI, Dmytro spent 13 years running B2B distribution operations end to end, from China sourcing to the retail shelf: 6 brands into 10+ retail chains, 16,000 cases moved. Forbes featured his work twice, in April and June 2026. Author of an SSRN working paper on the Fractional AI Officer model.

Based in New York City. Serving clients remotely across the US.
