Joseph Paul Clifton

Joseph Paul Clifton is an AI Orchestration Product Director and founder of Akra Collective, where he designs AI-driven workflows and software integrations for small and mid-sized businesses. Over the past decade-plus, he has consulted with entrepreneurs across SaaS, AgTech, energy field operations, geospatial, and AEC, building custom ERP platforms, data pipelines, and operational systems that turn rough ideas into working software. As former Director of Product Management at an NWA software agency, he led the discovery and prioritization practice that became the company’s standard onboarding for new client engagements. His strength is helping founders move from vague ambition to a prioritized, prototyped, shippable plan, with a bias toward getting things done.
