The starting point

Your goals.
A clearer way forward.

AI is changing how businesses work. For owners and leaders, the challenge is knowing where it can help and how to put it into practice.

Led by Jon Cambras, former Head of Emerging Technology Research at Vanguard, Cambras Technologies combines strategic experience with a teacher's clarity to make AI useful for growing businesses.

We help you identify opportunities, choose tools, and prepare your people through advisory services, executive education, and fractional AI leadership.

Our work starts with your goals and turns emerging technology into practical steps that save time, strengthen your operations, and give your business room to grow.

What we offer

Focused support for a specific need, or an ongoing relationship as your business evolves.

  1. Fractional AI leadership

    An experienced Head of AI on a flexible basis. We identify valuable opportunities, evaluate tools and vendors, set priorities, and guide implementation. Employee workshops and hands-on training help your team use new tools confidently and responsibly.

  2. Executive and board coaching

    Tailored coaching, briefings, and facilitated discussions on the decisions you face: how emerging technology affects strategy, how to assess investments, and what to ask management and vendors. Support for an immediate decision or continuing education.

  3. Founder / CTO advisory

    Turn complex capabilities into a clear, compelling story for business customers. Drawing on years of evaluating startups, we help sharpen your value proposition and connect what your technology can do with what your customers need.

  4. Focused custom application development

    Small-scale applications and automations built for a specific operational need, from more efficient workflows to better knowledge management. Each engagement has a defined scope, agreed success measures, and clear expectations for data handling, testing, training, and support.

  5. Emerging technology education and speaking

    Workshops, hands-on training, and speaking engagements that make emerging technology understandable. Help leaders ask better questions and give employees the understanding to use new tools confidently and responsibly.

Why Jon

Experience connecting technology to business needs

As Global Head of Emerging Technology Research at Vanguard, I worked with all four of the firm’s business lines to explore what developments in AI, digital assets, and quantum computing could mean for their businesses. That work led to practical applications and shaped the approach I bring to Cambras Technologies: understand the business problem first, then decide together whether—and how—technology can help solve it.

Clarity that helps organizations move forward

Before Vanguard, I spent ten years as a teacher in New York City, helping students understand complex ideas, ask better questions, and build confidence. That experience taught me the importance of listening carefully and meeting people where they are. Today, I bring that same approach to business leaders and their teams: making unfamiliar technology understandable so they can make informed, responsible decisions about using it.

A partner who starts with your business

With a master’s in education from NYU and an MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, I combine an educator’s approach with a grounding in business strategy. I take the time to understand your goals, your people, and how your business operates before recommending a path forward. I’m deeply passionate about emerging technology—and even more motivated by helping you put it to good use.
