Christina Reid
@christinareid
AI workforce transformation founder helping organizations retrain teams for practical AI adoption.
What I'm looking for
I help workforce organizations, employers, and education providers prepare people for work being reshaped by AI. Through Code & Clarity, I advise organizations on AI strategy, training, governance, adoption, and implementation—turning emerging AI capabilities into concrete operating decisions. I focus on retraining, transferable skills, workforce transition, and creating practical pathways into new roles.
Before founding Code & Clarity, I spent a decade in software engineering, then moved into learning and development. At Adaptive Financial Consulting, I led a developer-training program that trained engineers at scale, reducing engineering onboarding from five weeks to two, and building a talent pipeline where graduates made up 80% of the firm’s developer-consultant workforce. I bring both technical evaluation and workforce experience to every engagement—assessing what a system can realistically do, where it fits into existing operations, and what people need to learn to use it effectively.
In university and organizational work, I’ve evaluated AI platforms across compliance, integration requirements, and total cost of ownership, including recommending a $285,000 implementation path over alternatives ranging from $756,000 to $1.3 million. My approach is grounded in the belief that people don’t need to discard their experience to adapt to technological change—they need clarity on what carries forward, what must be learned, and how capabilities connect to real opportunities.
