The Executive AI Transformation Playbook
For executives running a transformation rather than reading about one. No hype, no statistics with a shelf life.
Get the first chapter →Twenty-six companies, six patents, three NGOs, and a 1991 Fiat Panda that made it across the Sahara.
My wife and I helped around twelve thousand Ukrainian refugees settle in Portugal, which the EU was kind enough to notice. I work from a small city on the Atlantic coast, and I am a husband and a father of two. There is a longer version, and it explains the Panda.
