// What This Is

The Business Comes First. Always.

AI isn't a strategy. It's a tool. And tools don't fix broken processes — they scale them.

Gato helps SMBs cut through the noise. We start with your business — what's working, what's not, where the real gaps are. Then we figure out where technology actually helps.

No agency retainer. No 90-day onboarding. No paying for things you don't need yet.

Pick what moves the needle right now. That's it.

// Why Gato

You're Not Talking to an Agency. You're Talking to Me.

I'm Carleen Haylett. 3x founder. 25 years selling platform technology to C-suite executives in insurance, healthcare, financial services, and telecom.

I've built sales orgs from scratch, closed enterprise deals, raised capital, navigated exits, and watched AI hype turn into expensive mistakes for businesses who skipped the basics.

I started Gato because SMBs deserve real help — not theory, not a 90-day retainer, not a junior consultant with a framework.

You get me. Direct. No fluff. Just what actually works.

  • 25+ years closing enterprise deals in competitive markets
  • 3x founder with 2 successful exits
  • Over $1M in VC funding raised
  • 100s of SMBs helped
  • No fluff. No padding. Straight to what moves the needle
"Fix the business first.
Then automate."

I came in thinking I had a sales problem. Turns out I had a process problem. Carleen figured that out in the first 20 minutes and we spent the rest of the hour fixing it. Worth every penny.

I was about to spend $40k on a CRM implementation. One call with Carleen saved me from that mistake. She showed me exactly what I actually needed. Game changer.

Michelle T.
Founder, Financial Services Firm

We had a deal stuck in procurement for three months. Brought it to the Deal Table and had a clear path forward within the hour. Deal closed two weeks later.

Finally someone who skips the theory and tells you what is actually wrong. No fluff, no upsell, just exactly what we needed to hear.
