Yuri Kruman

CEO at Portfolio Leverage Company

New York, NY, United States

Fractional CAIO | AI Transformation Executive and Operator | 3x CHRO | Numerous M&A Integrations | Built a Portfolio of 20+ AI Web Apps, Agents and Workflows (NOT a Coder)

PE-backed companies going through M&A or operational overhaul need someone who can design AND execute AI-enabled HR transformation, not just deliver a deck.

I've run 30+ HR transformations across companies from 50 to 2,500 employees, integrated HR and L&D infrastructure through 12+ acquisitions, and built the AI tools myself when the market didn't have what my clients needed (FastAPI, React, Supabase, Claude API).

Former lawyer. 3x CHRO/CLO. No CS degree. I just got tired of waiting.

Here’s what I've shipped (among others):

? AIHRPilot.com — enterprise HR policy intelligence tool with TF-IDF semantic search, risk scoring, and structured HR workflow automation

? CareerBeastMode.com — full-stack career coaching SaaS (React/TypeScript/Vite, Supabase, Claude API) for executives navigating AI-era transitions

? DueDrill.com — institutional VC due diligence platform with a 26-category multi-agent DD framework (FastAPI + React + AWS)

? ChaiRaise.com — nonprofit fundraising CRM with Gmail OAuth, automated donor pipeline management, and API-integrated workflows

? CommanderInChief.AI — RAG-based executive coaching agent on my 4-volume book series (42 chapters), with multi-session memory

? BookToCourse.AI — transforms book content into structured online courses

? AIWageGap.com — quarterly report on the AI Wage Gap for mid-career executives

-
Other work:

AI SME & Trainer — Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI (via Mercor, micro1, Sepal AI)

Course redesign for Coursera — AI-driven curriculum for practitioners

Founder, Portfolio Leverage (PortLev.com) — AI enablement platform for executives

Publisher, LeverageBrief.com — 5,000+ subscribers | weekly intelligence for Portfolio Executives closing the AI Wage Gap

Fly Like a Phoenix
Substack
May 12, 2025
It’s fire season here in Israel.

Just a couple weeks ago, a couple hundred people were lucky to escape with their lives from Highway 1 between the Center and Jerusalem.

After a (too-) dry winter, the land is parched.

A day with particularly brutal winds that spread a fire set by negligent campers (and a few Arab arsonists piggybacking) right along one of the main arteries of the country, with insane speed.

The price will DOUBLE after the pilot. Take advantage of this now, while you still can.

You’ve gotta love it when people think turbulence at work will “blow over.”

‘Cuz ya know, layoffs are happening all around, AI is silently, already doing the work of many.

Writing’s on the wall, but nobody wants to read it.

I hate to sound like a Cassandra, but I’ve been right about this stuff time and time again.

But hey, I get it.

A deeper look at what animal symbiosis can tell us about ourselves.

And of course, at how appearances are most certainly deceiving when it comes leading humans, rather than cows.

Let’s talk turning your book into a course, a minute.

Many (most?) thought leaders are published book authors, like myself.

Likely looked into, maybe even started, creating a course.

Tried many different platforms like Thinkific, Teachable, Kajabi, Maven and others.

Likely recorded some videos of yourself, used some old materials, a speaking reel, maybe even hired a videographer.

Guys, I’m still frankly in a bit of shock from what happened earlier today.

One of the most eye-opening, impressive and truly incredible supporters of Israel came to speak today at my work.

Who could it be?

Mike Bloomberg? Ron Lauder?

Maybe a cabinet minister? A former prime minister?

These guys are all either current donors or otherwise periodic visitors, etc.

NO.
