The same question runs under the writing and the work: what remains, and what holds, when the machine arrives. In the advisory practice, that question becomes practical. The market is racing to automate the decisions a machine can make. The ones that decide whether any of it lands are still yours. Board membership, founder mentorship, product and AI strategy for teams building at the intersection of climate, capital, and code, from an operator who built and sold in exactly that space.
The hard part of AI isn't the technology. Anyone can get a good answer from a machine now, and more people every day take a good answer for a made decision. The hard part is judgment: knowing what to adopt, what to resist, and what it means for the people inside the organization.
I built and sold a company in this exact space: water, climate, and agricultural finance. I advise on building because I've done it.
My day work is aligning leaders who don't share a language. That instinct is the heart of good advisory.
Twenty-five years solving hard problems where capital, technology, and the natural world collide.
I'm Christopher Peacock. Over 25 years I've built companies and led teams at the intersection of agriculture, water, and financial systems, most recently as co-founder and CEO of AQUAOSO, a water and climate intelligence company acquired by Growers Edge in 2024.
Today I'm VP of Digital Strategy & Collaboration at FCCS, convening leaders across the Farm Credit System. Alongside that I serve on startup boards, mentor founders with gener8tor and Techstars, and direct the AO Legacy Foundation, a private foundation backing water and climate resilience.
The advisory practice is where I bring that experience to a small number of founders, boards, and teams building through this turn. It's the same person, and the same question, as the writing.
A short call is the best place to start. Tell me what you're building or governing, and where AI fits.
