Why Barnabas Coaching?
Aaron Williams has run his own business for over 8 years. He knows what it costs to make a wrong bet — with his own money, his own team, his own clients. When he advises you, it's owner to owner. Here's what makes that different.
Track record, not trend-chasing
Aaron has been at the leading edge of technology through multiple cycles — early internet voice infrastructure in the '90s, algorithmic trading systems, Microsoft at hundreds of millions of users, and today, complex enterprise IT at a major life sciences company. He doesn't chase what's new. He evaluates what's proven, what's ready, and what fits your specific business.
Honest about what AI can't do
Most AI consultants want to impress you with possibilities. Aaron's job is to tell you the truth, including when the right answer is "not yet" or "this one's not worth your time."
Owner-to-owner
Aaron has run his own businesses for over 8 years. He understands cash flow, hiring decisions, and what it means to make bets with your own money. He's advised from experience, not a presentation deck.
About Aaron
In the late 1990s, Aaron was building routing infrastructure for real-time internet voice systems before most people knew that was even possible. Skype launched four years later. He joined Microsoft at 24, working on MSN Messenger, one of the first products to prove that millions of people would shift a core communication habit to the internet.
He's seen what it looks like when a wave hits: the confusion, the urgency, the organizations that move early and win, and the ones that wait and play catch-up for years. AI is that wave, right now. Barnabas Coaching exists to help Seattle business owners get on the right side of it.
