AI Operating System Firm
Hendricks designs, builds, and operates the intelligent infrastructure that transforms fragmented systems into measurable performance engines.
The Problem
Most companies are running fragmented operations
Disconnected tools. Manual workflows. Inconsistent reporting. AI experimentation without structure. Technology layered on top of chaos.
We rebuild the architecture underneath.
Why Hendricks
Built by someone who has done this at scale
Hendricks was founded by Brandon Lincoln Hendricks, who spent over a decade building and operating enterprise systems at companies like SolarWinds, Merkle, and Dentsu — managing global operations, integrating platforms, and solving the exact architectural problems that mid-market companies face as they scale.
The difference is experience. We have designed, installed, and operated this architecture at enterprise scale. Now we bring that discipline to companies where it has the most impact.

What We Do
Three integrated capabilities
System Architecture
The Hendricks Operating Architecture
Five integrated layers engineered to deliver measurable business performance — from infrastructure to outcomes.
Performance Outcomes
Revenue, margin, velocity — the business metrics that matter.
Intelligence Layer
AI models and decision systems that process, predict, and act.
Workflow Layer
Structured processes connecting people, data, and systems.
Agent Layer
Autonomous agents that execute tasks and surface insights.
Optimization Layer
Continuous monitoring and improvement across all systems.
