Greek-American based in Spain where I run a global data/AI business. International keynote speaker, award-winning educator and the Founder of Dare to Data, on a mission to help individuals and corporations take the next step in their data and AI journey. After building a successful career in Big Tech companies such as Google and Waze, I shifted my focus to scaling impact through education, training and product evangelism. Today, I'm trusted by an extensive client list of Fortune 500 and Big Tech organizations. Outside of my corporate work, I hold an Adjunct Faculty position at several universities where I lecture and lead programs on data and AI for business. I also serve as an instructor for LinkedIn Learning and host a podcast for EM360. I am bilingual (English-Spanish) and offer collaborations in both languages.

I see too many data and AI teams still fighting fires AFTER issues surface. We can no longer rely on reactive monitoring of our tech systems, it's just not gonna cut it anymore.

For the longest time, we've focused on simply 'observing' our data and IT systems, but what would it take to truly 'understand' them and act?

There is such a huge opportunity here for proactive observability. If you're new to the term or already exploring it but want to learn more, I got you!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a podcast with Nic Benders, Chief Technical Strategist at New Relic, to talk about how we shift from basic monitoring to anticipatory observability and stronger understanding of complex systems. Nic comes with vast knowledge in this space, I'll share the episode link in comments.

Which finally brings me to the point of this post. The New Relic Advance conference has been announced and I've just signed up! 🤩

This is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts about the latest tools and approaches for observability that help teams move beyond just reacting.

RSVP here to save your spot (free to attend)! https://lnkd.in/eXZzgRCX

You can expect to learn more on…
✓ Clear revenue impact from observability
✓ Full stack insights across code, infra and AI
✓ Faster recovery with automated root cause analysis
✓ Confident AI scaling with teams focused on innovation

See you there February 25th! #data #dataobservability #artificialintelligence #newrelic #datagovernance

💚 Shout out to my partner New Relic, very much looking forward to the event.

Innovation success is rarely about luck. Truly impactful projects are not built on technology or good ideas alone, but on a deep understanding of the problem across the full innovation cycle: from user needs and product design, to operations, go-to-market, delivery, and feedback. Strategy sets direction, but real innovation succeeds only when solutions align with business realities and, above all, human behaviour. Innovation can be measured in many ways, but for me, the most meaningful KPI remains simple: the level of happiness and satisfaction among customers, teams, and stakeholders.

I work at the intersection of product, technology, and go-to-market to close the gap between business goals and impactful innovation by:

✅ Leading product innovation and problem discovery, translating user needs into clear product designs, roadmaps, and measurable value.
✅ Bridging business goals with technological reality, building solutions that are feasible, scalable, and valuable.
✅ Driving go-to-market execution and business development, aligning stakeholders to ensure adoption, value delivery, and sustained growth.

Over the years, I’ve consulted for and collaborated with organizations across industrial drones & robotics, industrial automation, AI, EdTech, VR/AR, health-tech, economic development, agriculture, food production, and industry clustering, contributing across general management, project leadership, product design, go-to-market execution, growth, sales, AI engineering, and mentoring. I also served as Country Representative for Mexico at the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) from 2018 to 2024.

As an entrepreneur, I founded, scaled, and successfully sold a drone-as-a-service company focused on aerial inspections, remote sensing, and asset management for renewable energy, telecommunications, geophysical exploration, and precision agriculture.

With a strong international, cross-industry perspective and hands-on experience, I’m passionate about helping organizations, teams, and individuals innovate, deliver real value, and reach their full potential.

📩 Open to conversations, collaborations, and new opportunities. 🌀 Feel free to reach out via DM.
