About
Diagenic AI is led by Allen Jackson, a decades-long practitioner who has sold, built, implemented, partnered, automated, and defended enterprise technology in front of the people who own the numbers.
The Practice
Diagenic AI is a strategic advisory practice focused on enterprise workflow platforms, services economics, and the transition to AI-augmented delivery. The work sits at the intersection of systems of record, orchestration layers, partner ecosystems, and the operating models that determine whether AI programs create durable value or expensive theater.
The point of view is practitioner-first: start with customer impact and ROI, name the broken work pattern, explain the technology lever and organizational friction, and tie it back to the executive accountable for the result.
Why This Perspective Is Earned
Allen's career arc runs from builder to enterprise software salesperson to alliance diplomat: a technical generalist with real depth across BPM, predictive analytics, machine learning, workflow platforms, and AI. The through-line is making technology useful to the business: problem solver, systems thinker, mentor, and translator between technical capability and commercial outcome.
Much of the work looks like diplomacy between organizations that should be aligned but are structurally inclined to compete: vendor field teams, GSI practices, partner sales, delivery teams, product teams, and line-of-business owners. The goal is not soft relationship management. It is building enough trust, incentives, process, and commercial clarity that both sides move toward the same customer outcome.
Allen holds an MBA with honors from Kennesaw State University. His background spans enterprise consulting and practice leadership, chief-level strategy inside large operators, and sustained global alliance and commercial leadership across major platform and systems-integration ecosystems.
