About James Drury

@chiefoutrider

James Drury

James Drury is the founder of Outriders.ai and COO of a $20M e-commerce operation in Dubai. He builds AI products and operating systems for SME founders — the same systems he used to cut his own team from 50 to 30 while growing revenue 38%. He's not a consultant who reads about AI. He runs it in production, every day.

Five ways we work with you

Different problems, different solutions. Pick the one that fits.

CEO Brand Builder

Your LinkedIn runs itself. You run everything else.

You know LinkedIn could be building your reputation and your pipeline... but writing posts consistently never makes it to the top of the list. So your profile sits quiet, when it could be working for you every single day.

We become your content engine. We pull your voice and your real point of view out of your head, turn it into a month of posts in one sitting, publish them, grow your audience, and handle the outreach. You approve... we run the rest.

AI App & Product Builds

The six-figure product... without the six-figure quote.

You've been quoted a fortune for the app, platform or tool your business needs... and told it'll take a year. So the idea just sits there.

We build custom AI-powered apps, websites and platforms in milestones. You see real, working progress every couple of weeks and pay as you go. Don't like what you see after phase one? You walk away and only pay for that phase. No year-long black box.

AI Enablement Intensive

Make AI actually stick... for you, or your whole team.

You've got Claude or ChatGPT open in a tab and you're still doing the work the old way. Or your team "has access to AI" and nobody really uses it.

This is the hands-on program that makes AI second nature in weeks, not someday. We build you a personal AI "brain" trained on how you actually work, wire it into your real tools, and drill it until it's part of the day. Not a course you'll never finish... a working setup your team keeps using.

Advisory & Accountability

Your AI and operations brain... on call.

You don't need a six-month consulting deck. You need someone sharp in your corner every couple of weeks who tells you where AI fits, what to fix next, and holds you to it.

Fortnightly 1:1s on your real problems... sales, ops, AI, the lot. You execute between sessions, I course-correct, and you've got me keeping you accountable. Don't see the value after two sessions? Full money back, no questions.

Founder Launch Package

Everything you need to look real and run lean... from day one.

You're starting something new and you need to look credible yesterday: brand, website, email, the systems to actually run it. Stitching together five freelancers to get there is its own full-time job.

One package, done for you: your brand foundation, a clean website, Google Workspace set up properly, and four weeks of AI coaching so you can run the thing yourself. Then we keep it hosted and humming. You launch... we handle the plumbing.

Coming soon

LinkedIn Content SaaS

A month of LinkedIn posts in about an hour. Soon.

The self-serve version of CEO Brand Builder. Write, schedule and track a month of posts in roughly an hour... on your own, whenever you want.
