Jared Cohen, Chief Operating Officer at NU Advisory Partners, was recently quoted in the Ad Age article “How Brands Get More From AI With Forward-Deployed Engineers,” about the growing role of AI experts who work alongside business teams to accelerate adoption and build practical, real-world solutions.
The piece highlights how companies are moving beyond AI experimentation and investing in professionals who combine technical expertise with business context to identify opportunities, develop custom AI tools, and integrate artificial intelligence into everyday workflows. It also notes the significant investments major technology companies are making to help organizations adopt AI at scale.
Sharing his perspective, Jared said:
“With an FDE, you get someone who not only has a range of skills from a background in design or engineering, but who is also great at using AI. In one package, you get all these skills and the ability for this person to put out real solutions.”
As COO at NU, Jared helps lead the firm’s AI strategy and operational innovation, identifying practical ways technology can create a better executive search experience for clients, candidates, and the NU team. His inclusion in Ad Age reflects NU’s commitment to staying at the forefront of AI and its impact on business.
