High-level meets hands-on. Product and technology leadership for organizations navigating AI transformation, scaling complex systems, or filling a senior gap mid-flight.
Time-boxed engagements for organizations needing clarity, alignment, or a real plan — without committing to a long-term retainer.
Cohorts, masterclasses, and coaching for AI builders at every stage — adult founders & operators, high school students (via Kyros Prep), college students (via AnitaB.org), and organizations seeking white-label programs. 80+ trained. 80% launch-or-advance rate.
Keynotes, executive workshops, and custom AI literacy programs for enterprises, foundations, and education partners. By introduction.
Strategy meets code.
Creativity meets scale.
Alisha Outridge has spent 15 years building AI products — at Reuters, at TuneCore, and at two acquired startups. She founded Byte & Chord in 2024 to take that work directly to the people, schools, and organizations that need it.
As CTPO of TuneCore, she led AI personalization that drove +25% revenue and +30% engagement across 500K+ creators. As CPO of FlyBy, she shipped the computer vision and AR work that seeded Apple's ARKit. As CPO of WHIM, she scaled a $1B smart-screen platform to 3.3M+ daily viewers across NYC Transit.
She now teaches at Brown University and Hunter College CUNY, advises the U.S. Department of Education on AI governance through USDR, and runs the AI Founder Playbook — the cohort and masterclass program that's trained 80+ founders, PMs, and operators with an 80% launch-or-advance rate.

Pick the path that fits. Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation about what you're trying to ship and where the gap is.
