At pyrAI, our mission isn’t just to implement "cool" tech—it’s to protect the most valuable resource an entrepreneur has: time.
The firm was founded by Kerry Schaffer, a technology leader with over 20 years of experience navigating the complex intersection of emerging technology, data security, and business growth. Kerry’s career has been defined by a single obsession: making technology work for people, not the other way around.
Before launching pyrAI, Kerry learned exactly how automated workflows and data-driven decisions can be the difference between a business that survives and one that thrives.
Kerry led global digital transformations for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. She spent years at the forefront of emerging technology, identifying which innovations were just "hype" and which could actually drive a customer’s bottom line. At pyrAI, she brings that same high-level enterprise sophistication to the small business landscape.
In a world where AI and automation are rapidly evolving, Kerry believes that productivity cannot exist without protection. With a deep background in cybersecurity and data privacy, Kerry ensures that every "handshake" pyrAI automates is built on a foundation of safety. We don’t just move your data; we guard it. Our "Guardian" mindset means that while your business is running on autopilot, your customer information and proprietary workflows are locked down tight.
You might notice a theme in our name and logo. Outside of the tech world, Kerry is a devoted owner of Great Pyrenees rescue dogs. These majestic animals are legendary livestock guardians, known for their incredible loyalty, tireless work ethic, and protective nature.
Watching her rescues "work" inspired the name pyrAI. Just as a Great Pyrenees quietly and diligently guards its herd against predators, our AI solutions quietly and diligently guard your productivity against the "predators" of admin busywork, manual data entry, and operational friction.
We’ve adopted their spirit: Hardworking, loyal to your vision, and always standing watch.
"I’ve spent my career helping businesses scale through technology. With pyrAI, I’m taking everything I’ve learned about enterprise-grade automation and cybersecurity and putting it into the hands of the small business owners who need it most. We’re here to guard your productivity so you can grow your vision." — Kerry Schaffer, Founder
