We help businesses think with intelligence
Fornaro & Respo is a boutique AI consultancy. We translate complexity into strategy and strategy into working systems.
Built on clarity,
driven by results
We are M. Fornaro and Nathan Respo — two practitioners who have spent years at the intersection of AI research and business transformation. We founded this consultancy on a simple belief: AI should serve your business goals, not the other way around.
We work with leadership teams to cut through the noise, identify genuine opportunities for AI, and build systems that deliver measurable value. No hype. No black boxes. Just intelligent solutions.
