Growth strategy, built for the AI era and grounded in real operating experience.
EGAI brings together founder-led perspective and SHAPESHIFT AI’s mission: help organizations make clearer decisions, build useful systems, and pursue growth without losing sight of the people they serve.
Built from the work before the hype.
Lorenzo Hickey, founder of EGAI, brings experience across accounting, executive leadership, entrepreneurship, and marketing technology. He has helped launch more than 30 companies.
Technology earns its place when it helps a team communicate more clearly, serve customers better, or move a meaningful priority forward.
Five principles for useful, people-first AI work.
We help leaders explore practical ways to use AI without treating it as a shortcut for judgment, trust, or human connection.
Start with the outcome
We begin with the business need, the audience, and the decision that needs to improve. Technology comes after purpose is clear.
Make the complex usable
We favor clear choices, understandable systems, and a next step people can own.
Protect trust
Responsible work means being clear about what a tool does, what it does not do, and where human judgment remains essential.
Build for the people doing the work
The right system supports the team, the customer, and the relationship between them. Usefulness must be earned.
Prioritize human judgment
AI should support better decisions, not replace accountability, context, or the people responsible for the work.

From possibility to a practical path forward.
AI creates more options than most teams have time to evaluate. We turn that complexity into a more useful conversation about priorities, systems, and next steps.
People understand why you are different.
Connect brand, growth, operations, and customer experience instead of treating them as separate projects.
Assess opportunities with care.
Explore AI, automation, and better systems with care for trust, usability, and the people affected by change.
Make ambitious ideas usable.
Translate an ambitious idea into a focused plan your team can understand and carry forward.
Move forward with intention.
Use a disciplined process to decide what can wait and what practical action belongs next.
