Flintridge Intelligence brings together two perspectives on growth. One of us has spent a career leading companies and the people in them. The other grew up with the tools that are changing how work gets done. Together we help founders build companies that grow faster than their payroll.
Samson runs Flintridge Intelligence and leads its AI work. He grew up digital, and he treats AI tools the way earlier generations treated the spreadsheet: as everyday equipment, not a special project. An avid chess player, he approaches a growing company the way he approaches the board: think several moves ahead, find the strongest position, and don’t waste a move. His focus is finding the work AI can take on, so his clients hire only where people make the difference.
Brendan leads the people side of Flintridge Intelligence’s work. He has served as president or CEO of companies including Razorgator, the venture-backed live-event ticket marketplace, and Fanfare Media Works, and on the board of Points International, a publicly traded loyalty company. Along the way he has built, grown and reshaped teams through periods of rapid change. He is a magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University and a named inventor on a U.S. patent. Off the clock, he’s working on his table tennis game.
