AI consulting in Tampa Bay and Central Florida
Will Simmons, our VP of Strategic Services, lives in the Tampa Bay area. When a Central Florida engagement needs someone in the room, he drives. That is the whole claim, and it is worth more than an address on a contact page.
Who leads the work in Florida?
Will Simmons, from his base in Tampa Bay. He is a United States Naval Academy graduate who has spent his career getting new technology to work inside real operations, and he leads strategic services at Proxigee across augmented intelligence, agentic workflows, and the human side of putting both to work.
He works alongside Terry Lyon, who founded Proxigee after thirty years in enterprise software and supply chain. Florida clients get both. One of them can be at your site this week.
Why Central Florida, specifically?
Because of the I-4 corridor. The stretch from Tampa through Lakeland to Orlando is one of the densest distribution spines in the southeast, and the businesses along it look exactly like the ones Proxigee was built for. Regional distributors. Multi-site retail and convenience operators. Third-party logistics firms. Hospitality groups running hundreds of hourly roles at once.
These are high-volume, high-turnover, thin-margin operations where a week of recovered time per manager is real money, and where the work that eats the week is almost always repeatable. That is the profile our agent work fits best.
What about the Space Coast?
Brevard County is a different economy from the I-4 corridor and we treat it as one. Melbourne, Viera West, Palm Bay, and the towns around them run on aerospace, defense, and the precision suppliers that feed both. The work there is engineered, documented, audited, and traceable, and the volume of that documentation is exactly what buries good engineers.
That pattern is a strong match for the way we build, so it is where we would start looking. Requirements and specifications that have to be cross-checked. Quality records and compliance evidence that have to be assembled. Supplier correspondence that has to be tracked against a program schedule. None of that needs a new platform. It needs agents working inside the systems already holding the data, under controls the business sets.
Will Simmons is a Naval Academy graduate. Programs with real engineering discipline and real consequences for getting it wrong are familiar territory for him.
