Jonathan M K.

VP of GTM Strategy & Marketing - Momentum | Founder GTM AI Academy & Cofounder AI Business Network | Business impact ​> Learning Tools | Proud Dad of Twins

I’m Jonathan, an AI and GTM strategist passionate about transforming how businesses harness AI for real impact. With over 15 years in Revenue Excellence, Enablement, and GTM Acceleration, I’ve successfully developed and implemented transformative enablement programs for global organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. Recognized in SEC’s 2023 & 2024 Enablement Ones to Watch and honored as an Enablement Legend by Seismic and the Enablement Squad, I strive to stay ahead of industry trends.

4 Years ago I deep dove into AI after enabling an AI tech for an internal team and it's customers and in 2022, I founded the GTM AI Academy to bridge the gap between learning AI tools and creating tangible business outcomes. My mission is to provide AI-driven strategies that cover all functions of a Go-To-Market (GTM) team, helping professionals implement actionable use cases for their own companies. I also consult on AI integration and strategy for high-growth businesses, offering GTM insights that drive revenue growth and efficiency.

If you’re looking to leverage AI either for Yourself, Your team, or C-Suite and Board level advising, refine your GTM strategies, or accelerate business outcomes, feel free to connect. I’m always open to discussing the future of AI in business and how to make true impact.

Every vendor promises autonomous AI for GTM. None of them can actually deliver it…. Yet. 

Here’s why and what you need to build instead.

The gap between AI hype and reality isn’t about model capability. It’s about architecture.

We go deep in this concept in the IGNITE book released just barely.

Most companies are trying to buy autonomous GTM from a single platform. 

That’s like expecting one tool to handle your entire tech stack. It won’t happen.

What actually works is a 5-layer architecture where each layer does what it’s built for:

Layer 1: Data Foundation
Your CDP, CRM, data lakehouse, and identity resolution create the ground truth. Without clean, unified data, everything built on top collapses. This is where 70% of AI projects fail, not because the AI is bad, but because the data is garbage.

Layer 2: Integration Layer
MCP (Model Context Protocol), APIs, and connectors let your systems talk to each other without building custom integrations for every combination. This is the “USB-C for AI” one protocol that connects everything.

Layer 3: Agent Layer
This is where specialized AI agents live. The Analyst pulls insights. The Strategist recommends next moves. The Content Agent generates variations. The Optimizer runs experiments. Each agent is narrow and verifiable, not trying to do everything.

Layer 4: Execution Layer
Ads, email, web personalization, campaign launches. This is where AI decisions turn into real actions. Current systems handle this autonomously for narrow tasks (bid optimization, send-time) but still need human approval for creative and strategy.

Layer 5: Human Oversight
Governance, strategy, brand stewardship, guardrails. Humans don’t disappear, they move up the stack. You own the creative direction, relationship decisions, and high-stakes judgment calls that AI can’t verify.

The reality check:
Gartner predicts 60% of brands will use agentic AI by 2028. They also predict 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027.

The difference? 

Companies that win aren’t deploying the most AI. They’re architecting human-AI collaboration with clean data, proper governance, and realistic expectations about what AI can actually do autonomously today versus three years from now.

The people winning last year and this one are the ones planning for this future so when the tech is available they are ready. 

Are you?

This 2026 LinkedIn Bible is the roadmap to 1M+ followers. My man Chris Donnelly is letting me share, want in?

Or, like so many successful founders, as part of your business strategy. 

I decided to go all in on LinkedIn 2 years ago, 
And the results have been unbelievable.

✅ How to create a community feel in your comments that drives deeper connection
✅ Content repurposing systems for Instagram that multiply your reach with minimal effort

You don't need a content team or years of trial and error.

Giving away more goodies on the GTM AI Podcast, want it? Comment below.

Most GTM teams are drowning in research and prep work. The top 5%? They automated all of it and closed 3x more deals.

I just sat down with Dannielle Sakher (VP of GTM at MindStudio) who walked me through the exact AI agents she uses to close enterprise level partnerships.

Not theory. Not "use cases." Actual workflows running behind the scenes at one of the fastest-moving AI platforms right now.

What she showed me:
→ LinkedIn outreach that's personalized at scale (200+ quality requests per week vs. the typical 50) 
→ Pitch optimization that pulls live prospect research in real-time 
→ Meeting prep that collapses 3 hours of work into 2 minutes 
→ Contract review that flags every high-risk term without legal bottlenecks 
→ Launch teasers that make partnerships feel real before they exist

Here's what hit me hardest: Dannielle is automating the high-value stuff that made her successful in the first place.

The secret sauce activities most people stop doing when they get promoted because there's "no time." AND she puts in her own flavor and genius to take it to the next level.

Personalized research. Deep prep. Creative pitch assets. She built agents to do them at scale.

The result? More pipeline. Higher close rates. Zero sacrifice on quality.

So I partnered with HSE and we created THE 2026 Trends report, want it?

As of today, AI methodology revolves around defining the stages of its market entry, changes in value propositions, and the construction of a completely new architecture.

In 2026, AI capabilities are set to advance faster than the methodologies designed to govern them, creating a widening gap between technological potential and effective use.

I’m excited to share my perspective and partner with Julia Nimchinski and Hard Skill Exchange with Momentum.io on the report, “2026: In Pursuit of AI Methodology”, focused on the trends and predictions shaping AI-native GTM.

The report brings together 80+ contributors – CXOs, VCs, founders, and analysts – examining how AI is moving from experimentation to operating models.

The analysis reflects what is actually working as AI transitions from isolated pilots to embedded GTM systems.

Fourteen trends emerged:
-AI becomes a managed role (3.41%)
--Narrative + intent as the control plane (3.41%)
---Enablement as the agentic operating layer (7.95%)
----Systems of action replace systems of record (5.68%)
-----Orchestration re-centralizes control (5.68%)
------Operating models shift to live loops (10.23%)
-------Personalization moves from rules to reasoning (3.41%)
------Incumbents split: embed AI vs. rebuild (11.36%)
-----Buyer-side AI + AEO as a core discipline (11.36%)
----Trust, proof, and human connection increase in value (7.95%)
---ROI discipline tightens (11.36%)
--Generalists outperform narrow specialists (5.68%)
-Governance and data readiness become scaling gates (9.11%)
AI enters through high-friction insertion points (3.41%)

Huge thank you to Julia Nimchinski for being an amazing partner last year and this one, this report is kick a!!

I stopped building workflows in Zapier and N8N.

Now I just describe what I want done. 🤯

This week on the GTM AI Podcast, my man Jonathan Moss aka JMo walked through a 5-Part AI Framework that's saving him 15+ hours a week.

Here's what he covers:

→ How to replace complex automation tools with simple prompts
→ The framework structure that gets consistent results
→ Real examples of workflows that used to take hours... now done in minutes
→ Why "knowing what's possible" is now the only skill that matters

And we're also giving you access to the NotebookLM guide that goes even deeper - it's a resource on how to actually use these tools for unique applications.

I'm genuinely proud of this one. It's practical, and you can start using it today.
