Innovating With AI Certified Consultant Directory: Why I’m Proud to Be Listed

TL;DRShort Answer
Short Answer: Innovating with AI launched the Certified Consultant Directory to help businesses find vetted, ethics-first AI consultants without ads or pay-to-rank incentives. I’m proud to be listed because it prioritizes trust (real work, real standards) over marketing. If you’d like help applying AI responsibly, explore our services or contact us.
Today I’m excited to share something I’ve been looking forward to for a while: the launch of the IWAI Certified Consultant Directory.
I’m proud to be one of the very first consultants listed, and even prouder knowing what that represents. Out of more than 1,000 people enrolled in the program, just a couple dozen of us have made it through the full certification so far.
If you’re evaluating consultants or AI training for your team, you can explore our AI consulting services, review real outcomes in our case studies, or contact us to discuss your goals.
Most directories work the same way: pay more, rank higher. Some even skim off your projects with platform fees or lock you into their messaging system. That might work for ad clicks, but it doesn’t work for trust.
The IWAI Directory was built differently:
No ads, no sponsored profiles. Listings are randomized within tiers, so you don’t just see who paid the most.
No commissions or hidden cuts. If you find me here, it’s a direct relationship — no middleman.
Vetted consultants only. Each listing is reviewed by IWAI staff based on actual client work and ethics.
Backed by community. We share best practices and support each other, so when you hire one of us, you benefit from the collective.
For me, this isn’t just another directory. It’s a platform that keeps the focus where it belongs: helping clients succeed with AI.
