About Santiago

I help companies go from 'we want to use AI' to having production-ready use cases with measurable adoption and demonstrable ROI. I don't sell pilots that stay in the demo.

I founded and sold Avalanche AI (acquired in 2025). Since then, I've been working as an AI and transformation consultant for clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, LGT Bank, the Generalitat de Catalunya, and Orange Business Services, in both regulated sectors (pharmaceutical R&D, private banking, public sector) and digital environments.

Here you work directly with me. I deliver strategy, governance, architecture, and training without intermediate teams.

How I can help you:

- AI Strategy and Roadmap: Prioritization of use cases by value, feasibility, scalability, and risk, with adoption KPIs and ROI from day one.
- Generative AI and Agent Deployment: Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI, RAG on proprietary documentation, LLM orchestration, and quality evaluation.
- Process Automation: Process redesign first, then automation, using n8n, Make, and API integrations.
- Governance and Compliance: Frameworks aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act, role-based access control, and secure enterprise-scale usage.
- Training and Change Management: I have trained over 500 employees and set up AI Champions communities with KPI-based adoption tracking.

How I work: I start with the business problem and its numbers, not the tool. I deliver things that work in production and leave the team capable of maintaining them without me. I'm direct with bad news and with what's not worth doing.

Education: MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and BBA from Esade. I work in Spanish, English, and Italian, 100% remotely from Barcelona.
