Connect + Trade is a New Orleans AI consultancy whose published services are workshops, executive coaching, AI strategy and assessment work, and custom AI builds. A company profile gives its address on Poydras Street in New Orleans. It did not start as an AI firm: a 2017 World Trade Center New Orleans event listing describes the same business as an international strategy and marketing company working on export consulting and cross-border commerce, so the AI practice is the newer half of it. Its owner, Knud Berthelsen, is also a professor of practice at Tulane University, where his faculty pages describe the same four service lines and say the workshops run in person in New Orleans. The sources here are that company profile, the Tulane pages and the 2017 event listing.
