We help growing small and mid-sized businesses (typically 20–200 employees) implement AI strategy, automation systems, and technology infrastructure that pays for itself — guided by 25 years of enterprise-level expertise.
"AI is the crossroads moment of our generation. The businesses that move now will compound their advantage for years. Those that wait will spend years catching up."
— Corey Hawk, Founder
This isn't a technology trend. It's a structural shift. Every industry is being repriced around who has better data, faster decisions, and leaner operations. AI is the engine behind all three.
Most business owners know AI matters. What they don't have is a trusted guide with enterprise-level depth who can cut through the noise, identify the right tools, and actually implement them.
That's exactly what Teklani does. Teklani is a Maui, Hawaii–based AI and technology strategy consultancy serving growing businesses across the United States. We bring Fortune 500 strategy to companies that are growing fast and can't afford to get their technology decisions wrong.
We don't just advise. We design, implement, and optimize the systems that drive measurable ROI.
We audit your business, identify your highest-leverage AI opportunities, and build a prioritized 90-day implementation roadmap. No jargon. No guesswork. Just a clear path from where you are to where AI takes you.
We map the manual work costing your team 10–20 hours a week, then design and implement the automation systems that eliminate it. Every hour saved is an hour reinvested in growth.
We integrate ChatGPT, Claude, and custom AI models directly into your existing tools, workflows, and customer touchpoints — so your team gets AI superpowers without changing how they work.
From security and compliance to vendor management and strategic planning, we run the technical foundation that keeps your business safe, efficient, and ready to scale.
Every engagement is designed to pay for itself — usually within the first 90 days. Here's what that looks like in practice.
A multi-property resort was drowning in manual reporting across three locations — 22+ staff hours weekly compiling occupancy data, vendor invoices, and guest feedback by hand. Teklani designed an automated workflow integrating their PMS and accounting software with a custom AI layer that delivers a one-page operations brief to leadership every morning.
A regional CPA firm was losing 6–8 hours per new client engagement to manual document review, data entry, and compliance checklist completion. Teklani implemented an LLM-assisted intake system that auto-extracts data from client documents, pre-populates engagement files, and flags compliance gaps before a partner touches the file.
A growing medical group across four locations had fragmented IT systems, inconsistent workflows, and zero AI tooling. Teklani standardized their infrastructure, introduced AI-assisted scheduling optimization, and built an automated insurance pre-authorization triage system that handles the 80% of routine cases without staff involvement.
25 years of enterprise IT leadership at some of the world's most demanding organizations. Currently leading IT for a major Hawaii federal contractor — where I deploy these exact AI and automation systems every single day — and former Director of IT at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters & Activities, Senior Manager of IT Global Services at Okta, Tech Lead at CrowdStrike, and sole architect of Stanford University's PCI compliance program.
I've managed multi-million dollar IT budgets, led global service operations, guided companies through mergers and acquisitions, and built security frameworks that protect some of the most sensitive data in the world. Now I bring that same rigor and experience directly to business owners — because that's where I can have the most impact.
I'm not a vendor. I'm not a ticket system. I'm a partner who cares about your business as much as you do.
"We're at a historical moment. The businesses that engage with AI now — thoughtfully and strategically — will look back on this as the decision that changed everything."
Teklani is an AI and technology strategy consultancy based in Maui, Hawaii that helps growing small and mid-sized businesses implement AI. We deliver four core services: AI Strategy & 90-day Roadmapping, Workflow Automation, LLM & AI Integration (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot), and IT Infrastructure & Operations. We don't just advise — we implement, and every engagement is designed to pay for itself.
We work best with growing businesses — typically 20 to 200 employees — that are drowning in manual work, know AI matters, and want a senior partner who implements rather than a slide deck. Our clients span hospitality, professional services, healthcare, construction, real estate, and retail. If you're smaller and serious about growth, book the free call anyway — we'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit.
Every engagement is scoped after a free 30-minute strategy call, because the right investment depends on your workflows and goals. What stays constant: every engagement is designed to pay for itself, usually within the first 90 days, and every roadmap includes a financial model showing projected ROI before you commit to anything.
No. Teklani is based in Maui and works with Hawaii businesses in person, but most engagements run smoothly fully remote. We serve clients across the United States.
Three ways. First, you work directly with a principal who spent 25 years running IT at Okta, CrowdStrike, Stanford University, and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters — not a junior account team. Second, we lead with your business goals and ROI, not a tool we're incentivized to sell. Third, we implement and stay accountable to measured outcomes, not billable hours.
In 30 minutes, we diagnose your biggest technology or operational bottleneck and tell you exactly what we'd do about it — whether you hire us or not. No pitch, no pressure, no obligation.
AI adoption is compounding. Every month you delay is a month your competitors gain ground that becomes harder to close. The good news: the strategic window is still open. Let's talk.
No pitch. No pressure. In 30 minutes, we'll diagnose your biggest technology bottleneck and tell you exactly what we'd do about it — whether you hire us or not.
