Professional Summary

AI First

Hi, I'm Marc Claproth. Throughout my career, I've partnered with manufacturers both in the U.S. and overseas to transform product ideas into successful direct-to-consumer brands. I specialize in building and optimizing sales channels—from mapping every SKU to crafting marketing campaigns that connect with real people.

With the rise of AI, I've been able to produce and execute at a faster and more efficient rate than ever before. I specialize in AI workflow orchestration, LLM development, and MCP integrations—building autonomous pipelines that eliminate bottlenecks and scale operations intelligently.
