How Rodrigo is building a better working world

“I’m fortunate to have played a role in the development of AI from its earliest days. My experience helping to build AI products that deliver excellent user experiences while creating value for organizations has been incredibly exciting and rewarding.

Now, I’m passionate about helping the global EY organization realize the potential of AI to radically enhance how we serve clients. The strategic use of trusted AI and machine learning can support companies to transform into agile, intelligent organizations – ready to navigate a more complex operating environment and build a better working world.
