About

I help founders and product leaders decide where AI actually creates value in their business, and then get it built. I ran a 20-person product org as CPO of Mexico's largest jobs marketplace, and I have spent the last six years building production AI myself: LLM pipelines, conversational agents, automated content operations, an iOS app live on the App Store.

Where I'm most useful:
• You're under pressure to "do AI" and don't know which bet to make first.
• You have an AI feature or product in mind and want someone who has built this stack to sanity-check the architecture, the cost, and the roadmap.
• You lead product and want a sounding board who has run the org, not just the roadmap.

Recent work: turned "we need AI" into a funded program for a national financial-advisory firm's tax practice; advised the Head of Product at a $100MM-ARR certification company on which AI bets to fund; coached 100+ founders through a Vision 2030 accelerator. Fluent Spanish.

I work as a fractional leader, not a lecturer. Expect direct feedback, a written plan, and working demos when a demo moves things further than a deck.

La experiencia con Alan fue una nota de principio a fin. Empecé la mentoría buscando una mirada externa a mi trabajo en producto, porque sentía que llevaba tiempo dándole vueltas a las mismas ideas y necesitaba un empujón para salir de la rutina. Desde la primera llamada se tomó el tiempo de entender bien mi contexto y mis metas, y las conversaciones fueron súper interesantes: siempre lograba hacerme pensar en ideas nuevas y, al mismo tiempo, me ayudó a pulir lo que ya tenía armado. Trabajamos revisando mis estrategias, retándome con preguntas que me sacaban de la zona de confort y con ejemplos prácticos de su experiencia real en producto e IA. Lo que más valoro es que con él conseguí una visión distinta de las cosas: aprendí a pensar de otra manera y a mirar los problemas desde otra perspectiva. Totalmente recomendado. My experience with Alan was excellent from start to finish. I started this mentorship looking for an outside perspective on my product work, since I felt I'd been circling the same ideas for a while and needed a push to break the routine. From the first call he took the time to really understand my context and goals, and our conversations were super interesting: he consistently got me thinking of new ideas while also helping me refine what I already had. We worked through my strategies, he challenged me with questions that pushed me out of my comfort zone, and shared practical examples from his real experience in product and AI. What I value most is that through him I gained a different vision of things: I learned to think in another way and look at problems from a different perspective. Highly recommended.

Working with Alan as a mentor has been an incredibly valuable experience. I was specifically looking for someone who could help me navigate organizational changes from a product leadership perspective and serve as a sounding board for best practices in running a product-led organization. Alan exceeded expectations on both fronts. He takes a genuine and thoughtful interest in understanding his mentee’s goals, aspirations, and the specific challenges they’re facing. What stood out most to me was Alan’s ability to dig deep into the problems at hand, not just at the surface level, but by truly understanding the context and nuances behind them. Alan brings a structured yet flexible approach to mentorship. He offers strong frameworks that help organize thinking, drive clarity, and encourage action. He’s also not afraid to offer specific, actionable recommendations when appropriate, which I found incredibly helpful in accelerating decisions and unlocking new approaches. Overall, Alan is a fantastic mentor for anyone in a product leadership role, especially those seeking to grow within a product-led culture. His insights, empathy, and practical advice make him an outstanding guide and partner in professional growth.
