Christopher Grant
Christopher has spent thirty years building technology for small and mid-sized businesses, first through Gorges, the technology consultancy he co-founded and has run for twenty years, and more recently as the hands-on technical operator behind Great Energy, an online education company he co-founded with Daniela in 2023.
Gorges has delivered systems and technology services to a real, varied client base: Malusim, Willet Dairy, Clean Air Construction, Precision Filters, the New York 6 higher-education consortium (including Cornell and SUNY Cortland), and NeighborWorks. That range, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, higher education, and nonprofit, is exactly why Swift Consulting doesn't pitch a one-size answer. Christopher has spent three decades watching what actually breaks inside a growing operation, long before "AI" was the word for it.
What makes his current work different from a typical consultant's pitch is that he still builds the systems himself. Inside Great Energy he personally architected and runs the full stack of automations behind the Autoimmune Recovery Method: the recipe sourcing and QC pipeline, the daily ad-spend reconciliation that catches what Meta's own dashboard misses, the Search Console indexing pipeline, and the content posting schedule. He didn't oversee a dev team build it. He built it, and he still watches it run every day. That is the fractional Chief AI Officer role: not a slide deck, a person who sits inside your operation and makes the automation actually work.
- Co-founder and 20-year operator of Gorges, a technology consultancy serving agriculture, construction, manufacturing, higher education, and nonprofit clients.
- Co-founder of Great Energy (2023) and the technical architect behind its production content and marketing automation stack.
- Thirty years of hands-on technology and small-business systems experience, across multiple founded ventures.
Daniela Hess, MSEd
Daniela built her marketing and communications experience the way most great marketers do: by running it for a real business, under real pressure, with real numbers attached. She holds a Master's in Health Education and has spent more than twenty years building curriculum, positioning, and content systems, first across Great Energy's teacher-training and course programs, and since 2023 as the person who wrote the message, built the content architecture, and ran the ad campaigns behind the Autoimmune Recovery Method (ARM) from a standing start to a live, enrolling six-week course.
That work is not theoretical. The ARM content library she built out now runs 1,001 original recipes and 36 sourced articles, all indexed and searchable. She wrote the positioning that turns a diagnosis into a clear two-path choice a reader can actually act on, ran the Meta ad campaigns that reconciled July's real revenue against real ad spend, and built the email and content calendar that keeps the whole thing running week over week. At Swift Consulting, she brings that same discipline, message clarity first, content built to a real structure, and campaigns tracked against real numbers, to clients outside health and wellness.
Where Christopher looks at what a business's systems are doing, Daniela looks at what a business is actually saying, and whether the two agree with each other. Most growing operations have a gap between them. Closing it is her half of the work.
