Brett Chereskin

Currently: COO at dub · New York

The work

Three lanes, concurrently.

  1. 01
    Operating. COO of dub, a venture-backed consumer fintech. Ops, finance, HR and G&A — run lean with AI tooling I build in-house.
  2. 02
    Practicing. I ship real AI systems in production at a regulated company. I write about what works, what breaks, and what I’ve quietly retired.
  3. 03
    Investing. Angel investor and LP. I back operators shipping with AI. Advisory work on ops, GTM, and AI adoption inside scaling companies.
