AI transformation leader at Powerfleet, identifying enterprise processes and opportunities for AI implementation.

Message

At IBARRAConsulting Engineers @ DFW, I assessed opportunities for AI transformation while supporting a procurement digitization initiative. I used value stream mapping to identify business processes and potential AI implementation opportunities.

At Agileseventeen LLC @AT&T, I assessed product alignment, flow health, and readiness across the CTX technology group, and developed a process inventory to identify potential AI use cases. At Agileseventeen LLC @ Kaiser Permanente, I conducted AI-awareness campaigns to support adoption readiness.

Across my work at organizations including ABBOTT CN and Southwest Airlines, I coached product and engineering teams, supported digital product delivery, and helped connect product priorities with business outcomes. My experience includes procurement digitization, medical device software, customer platforms, and aircraft maintenance operations.
