I redesign how organizations operate in an AI-driven world.
Head of AI · Director de IA · Director de Transformación Digital · ExO Consultant
Most AI initiatives fail not because of technology, but because organizations are not designed to operate with it.
I work with leadership teams to redesign decision-making, execution, and intelligence flows across the organization.
What I do
I help organizations move from isolated AI initiatives to integrated intelligence systems.
- AI Strategy aligned to business outcomes
- AI Operating Model design
- Agent-Ready Architecture
- Autonomous & augmented operations
- AI Governance at scale
- Exponential Organization (ExO) design
How I help
Executive AI Discovery Workshop
- Clarity on ROI — identify which AI initiatives generate the highest return and which are a risky bet
- Decisions without vendor dependency — evaluate any AI proposal without needing external technical validation
- Operational efficiency mapped — pinpoint where AI can reduce costs and time in their specific areas
- Prioritized initiatives — a clear map of what to do first, what to defer, and what to avoid
- Shared AI language — speak about AI with their teams, board, and vendors with confidence and precision
"It's not about building agents. It's about knowing how to run a company built to operate with them."
A different approach to AI transformation
Most companies treat AI as a technology layer. That leads to pilots that never scale.
AI is not just a capability — it is a structural shift.
To address this, I developed:
Framework
The Intelligence Stack Framework
A model to redesign organizations as systems of persistent intelligence:
- Environmental Intelligence
- Strategic Architecture
- Change Orchestration
- Autonomous Operations
- Governance & Sentinel
What I've built
- Led enterprise AI transformation serving 50,000+ end users across distributed operations
- Deployed 7 production AI systems across enterprise environments at scale
- Designed and deployed agentic architectures processing over 100K monthly interactions
- Designed AI Operating Models and governance frameworks for regulated environments
- Established MLOps practices and enterprise knowledge architecture
- Drove measurable ROI through predictive analytics and intelligent automation
How I think about AI
AI is a mirror
It amplifies existing processes. Good systems improve. Broken ones fail faster.
Strategy before technology
The problem is rarely the model — it's how decisions and workflows are designed.
From tools to systems
Real value comes from integrated intelligence, not isolated use cases.

How I operate
Outside of work, I'm drawn to systems that require discipline, iteration, and real-world feedback.
I train for endurance sports, which reinforces how I think about long-term execution and resilience.
I also enjoy building and modifying things — from AI systems to mechanical setups — which keeps my approach grounded in practical problem-solving.
