WHO IS MICHELLE KAMRATH FIELDS?

I’m Michelle Kamrath Fields, a serial entrepreneur, AI consultant, keynote speaker, and digital transformation leader based in Minnesota. I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of AI Mentors, a WBENC-certified, women-owned consulting firm focused on helping enterprises and startups confidently adopt artificial intelligence through clear strategy, responsible implementation, and modern operating models.

 

For more than two decades, I’ve led marketing consulting, growth strategy, and digital transformation initiatives for global brands including Nike, Eddie Bauer, Napster, and John Deere. My career has been built at the intersection of creativity, data, technology, and business strategy—helping organizations modernize how they operate, connect with customers, and compete in rapidly changing markets. That experience shapes how I approach AI today: not as a standalone technology, but as a strategic lever for enterprise transformation, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth.

 

At AI Mentors, I work directly with executive teams across highly regulated industries, including finance, law, healthcare, insurance, and enterprise B2B, as well as fast-growing startups. My work spans AI consulting, AI roadmapping, AI strategy, AI agent design, technical implementation, and organizational change. I help leaders cut through the noise, prioritize the right opportunities, and implement AI in ways that align with business goals, governance expectations, and human impact. Clients rely on me to bring structure to complexity, clarity to uncertainty, and momentum to transformation efforts.

 

I’m often described as a Growth Mindset Visionary because I consistently deliver results across diverse industries while embracing innovation and continuous improvement. My background as both a traditional and digital marketing executive allows me to guide organizations through AI adoption with a deep understanding of brand, customer experience, operations, and revenue growth. I’ve built and executed strategies that skyrocket sales, strengthen brand equity, optimize spend, and build loyal customer bases—always with an eye toward measurable outcomes.

 

Beyond my consulting work, I’m also the founder of Squash Cancer, a mission-driven initiative created to support loved ones undergoing cancer treatment. Squash Cancer provides sponsored care boxes and moments of encouragement to people facing one of the most difficult chapters of their lives. That work is deeply personal to me and reinforces a core belief that guides everything I do: technology, business, and leadership should ultimately serve people. AI, when used thoughtfully, should empower humans, not replace them.

 

I’m also a proud mom to a teenage daughter, which fuels my commitment to ensuring the next generation, especially young women, helps lead it. That perspective influences how I advise organizations, how I design AI strategies, and how I speak about the future of work, leadership, and innovation.Known for my straight-talking style and ability to make complex topics approachable, I’m an effective communicator and trusted advisor across all phases of projects, from strategy and planning through execution and optimization. Clients and employers consistently describe me as detail-oriented, creative, analytical, and deeply collaborative, with an ability to inspire trust, loyalty, and results. My strengths as an executive leader are both strategic and futuristic, grounded in experience but always focused on what’s next.

 

Whether I’m advising enterprise leadership teams, supporting startups, leading AI implementation initiatives, or delivering keynote speaking engagements, my goal is always the same: to help organizations move forward with confidence, clarity, and purpose in a world being rapidly reshaped by AI and digital transformation.
