The CEO Who Mocked AI (Until It Made Him Millions): A Must-Read for Business Leaders Navigating AI-Driven Change
AI isn’t coming for businesses—it’s already here. Some leaders are embracing it, using it to drive efficiency, growth, and competitive advantage. Others? They’re still sceptical, hesitating, or waiting for the "right time" to get started.
The right time is now.
That’s exactly what Aamir Qutub, CEO of Enterprise Monkey, dives into in his latest book, The CEO Who Mocked AI (Until It Made Him Millions). But this isn’t your typical AI playbook filled with jargon and hype. It’s a business thriller meets AI strategy guide—written for leaders who don’t want to be left behind.
If you’re a CEO, entrepreneur, or decision-maker who’s still unsure about AI, this book is your wake-up call.
Why AI Skeptics Need to Read This Book
The book follows Blake Harrington, a construction industry CEO who’s seen better days. Competitors half his size are winning contracts, delivering faster, and increasing profits—all while his company struggles to keep up. His industry hasn’t changed, but the way business is done has.
His problem? He thought AI was a gimmick.
Blake’s world turns upside down when he meets Dr. Selene Monroe, an enigmatic AI strategist who introduces him to a new way of thinking. Through their conversations, Blake discovers AI isn’t about tech for tech’s sake—it’s about cutting waste, increasing profitability, and staying competitive in a world that won’t slow down for anyone.
This isn’t science fiction or a Silicon Valley fantasy. It’s real business transformation, written in a way that’s engaging, practical, and completely jargon-free.
What Makes This Book Different?
There are plenty of books out there talking about AI. Most of them are either:
❌ Too technical—great if you’re a data scientist, not so helpful if you’re running a business.
❌ Too vague—big on vision, light on action.
❌ Too theoretical—full of "what AI can do" rather than how to actually use it.
This book? It’s none of the above.
✔️ Story-driven learning – Instead of dry theories, you get a compelling business story that makes AI click.
✔️ Practical AI applications – AI isn’t just hype—it’s a tool. Learn how it can actually help you win tenders, cut admin work, and boost revenue.
✔️ No tech-speak, just real talk – This book is written for business owners, leaders, and decision-makers—not developers.
✔️ The real challenges of AI adoption – AI isn’t plug-and-play. The book doesn’t sugarcoat the resistance, confusion, or scepticism that many leaders face.
It’s not just about what AI can do. It’s about how businesses can actually use it—without getting lost in complexity.
Key Takeaways: How AI Can Transform Your Business
If you’ve been wondering whether AI is worth the investment, here’s what this book will show you:
🔹 AI doesn’t replace people—it replaces inefficiencies. The best companies use AI to automate the boring, repetitive tasks that slow their teams down.
🔹 AI isn’t the future—it’s happening right now. Your competitors are already using AI for sales, marketing, project management, and decision-making. If you’re waiting, you’re already behind.
🔹 The "Dumb Monkey Syndrome" is real. Businesses that fail to evolve get left behind. This book gives you a roadmap to avoid becoming the next Blockbuster or Kodak.
🔹 AI is for every industry—not just tech companies. Whether you're in construction, finance, retail, or manufacturing, AI has a place in your business.
🔹 You don’t need to be an AI expert. You just need to know how to use AI tools the right way—and the book walks you through exactly how to do that.
This is a real-world AI strategy guide, but told through an engaging, fast-paced business thriller that makes it an easy and enjoyable read.

And if you’re thinking, “AI doesn’t apply to my industry”—that’s exactly what Blake thought too. Until he found out the hard way that his competitors were already using it to beat him.
A Message from Aamir Qutub, CEO of Enterprise Monkey
"I wrote this book because I’ve seen too many businesses hesitate when it comes to AI. Some see it as overwhelming. Others assume it’s only for big tech companies. The reality? AI is just a tool. The businesses that use it well will grow. The ones that don’t… won’t.
"This isn’t about hype or fear-mongering. It’s about giving you the knowledge to make confident, strategic decisions. If you’re sceptical about AI, I get it. That’s exactly why I wrote this book—for leaders who need to see AI through a practical, no-nonsense lens."
