Innovation, AI and leadership. With legal and strategic judgement. Artificial intelligence in your organisation, without the exposure.

A law degree and more than two decades in the Dominican technology sector. I help institutions and companies in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean adopt AI where decisions are made, with legal judgement from day one.

More than twenty years advising Santo Domingo Cyber Park and the technology companies based there. Ten leading ITLA’s Northern Region. Three at the head of Santiago’s business and industry association. I work from defining the strategy through to real implementation.

Areas of work

One standard, four fronts

01

AI Applied to Business Processes

Practical adoption of artificial intelligence in organisations: from strategy through to real implementation, inside the processes where decisions actually happen.

  • AI implementation
02

Legal Judgement in Technology Decisions

Legal judgement applied to technology decisions: seeing where liability is created before it is created. It does not replace the work of a practising lawyer; it comes before it.

  • Legal judgement
03

Innovation and Institutional Transformation

More than 20 years advising Santo Domingo Cyber Park —the park and the companies based there— and 10 years leading ITLA's Northern Region. I work with institutions that need to transform how they operate, not just how they talk about it.

  • Institutional strategy
04

Leadership and Decision-Making at Executive Level

Advisory to the chief executive and their leadership team, for when transformation stops being a project and becomes a responsibility. I do not train leaders: I work with those who already are, on the decisions that allow no rehearsal.

  • Leadership

Judgement applied to real decisions.

Two decades of institutional experience brought to the decision itself, the design of the strategy and its implementation.
