Who is Chad Boersema?
Chad Boersema is an AI practitioner — Chief Data Officer at National Louis University, founder of eleved.ai, and co-founder of Osusu. He has spent more than 30 years making technology and data actually work inside real organizations, most of that in higher education, and now helps organizations of every size navigate AI strategy, readiness, and education.
What does Chad do?
He helps organizations get ready for AI — through strategy, governance, data, education, and AI-enhanced tools. His experience runs deepest in higher education, but the same practical approach serves small businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. He does this in his role at National Louis University and through his company, eleved.ai.
What is his background?
Over three decades in higher ed: student affairs and the registrar’s office, the vendor side of student and data systems, then leading student information systems, business intelligence, and information services, and now serving as Chief Data Officer. He holds an MS in Information Systems and a BA in International Studies from Roosevelt University.
What does Chad believe about AI?
That organizations should approach AI practically and honestly — neither hype nor fear. His goal is to help organizations of every size thrive through the AI shift. In higher education specifically, that includes helping institutions that cannot survive transition gracefully so students are not stranded — he is especially focused on under-resourced organizations most at risk of being left behind.
Where does Chad write?
He writes the LinkedIn newsletter Before the Committee Meets, and publishes an AI readiness field-guide series through eleved.ai.
What is eleved.ai?
eleved.ai is Chad’s company, providing practical AI consulting, strategy, readiness frameworks, education, and AI-enhanced products for organizations of every size — with deep roots in higher education. Products and the AI-readiness framework live at eleved.ai.
What is Osusu?
Osusu is an early-stage venture Chad co-founded. It is still taking shape and details have not been announced yet — more soon.
