About us

We extract what your best people know and build AI systems around it.

Cadence Intelligence is an AI consulting and implementation firm for organizations that run on expertise. We work with the people whose judgment drives your most important outcomes.

Why us

Four specialists. One focus.

We are not a large consultancy that assigns junior analysts to your project. Every engagement is led directly by a co-founder who has built AI systems, extracted expertise, and trained teams across industries. When you work with Cadence Intelligence, you work directly with the people doing the work.

Zain Haseeb

Zain Haseeb

Co-Founder, Strategy & Product

Zain leads engagement strategy and product direction at Cadence. His background spans management consulting at Deloitte, an MBA from Duke University, founding and scaling a digital agency through acquisition, and leading enterprise product strategy at General Motors across vehicle and software platforms. He’s been applying AI within enterprise contexts since 2023, finding leverage at the intersection of strategy, systems thinking, and real organizational complexity. At Cadence, he approaches every engagement the same way: break the business down to its core workflows, find where the invisible expertise lives, and build AI around it.

Tam Nguyen

Tam Nguyen

Co-Founder, Operations & Systems

Tam builds the AI systems, automations, and workflows that make Cadence's extraction engagements run. She spent a decade in fintech at Ramp and Xero implementing technology for national franchises and accounting firms, training hundreds of offices along the way. She learned early that the gap between "built" and "actually used" is where most technology investments die. At Cadence, she closes that gap, wiring together the right tools, building the operational layer, and making sure what gets delivered actually sticks.

He holds an MSBA from the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business and brings deep technical fundamentals alongside real AI governance experience from GreenSky. He’s been building with AI since middle school, when he wrote his first chess neural network. At Cadence, he builds the production-grade AI systems, custom agents, and technical infrastructure that turns extraction work into functioning tools embedded in client workflows.

How we work

Start with the people, not the technology.

AI is a tool. The expertise of your people is the asset. We always start by understanding the human judgment before touching any technology.

Build for adoption, not demonstration.

A system nobody uses is a system that failed. Everything we build is designed to fit into how your team already works.

Own everything we build for you.

No vendor lock-in. No proprietary platforms you cannot leave. You own your extracted expertise, your AI systems, and your training materials.
