About

I’ve spent 15 years in AI strategy and MLOps, most recently managing strategic AI portfolios at HOLCIM. In that time, I’ve shipped over 15 enterprise projects and trained more than 1,000 people on how to actually use this technology responsibly.

Whether you're running a business or building a career in tech, here is how we can work together:

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀
You don’t need a technical background to make AI useful. I help you move past the hype to save actual hours every week. We focus on:

  • Setting up workflows in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to handle the heavy lifting.
  • Automating lead gen and sales outreach so you aren't stuck in manual follow-ups.
  • Using NotebookLM to turn your existing documents into reusable assets.
  • Researching competitors and summarizing long reports in seconds.
  • Building a content engine for emails and newsletters that doesn't take all day.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀
If you're already in the field, I focus on the transition from technical expert to leader. We work on:

  • Mastering MLOps and LLMOps at scale.
  • Getting executive buy-in for your projects and building a portfolio that stands out.
  • Navigating the messier parts of the job, like ethics and responsible AI.

My approach is focused on what works in the real world, not just what looks good on a slide deck. If you're ready to move faster and build something that lasts, let’s talk.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I started seeking mentorship, as I knew I had the technical skills, but I wasn’t sure how to take the next step. I wanted to level up my career, step into technical leadership, and dive deeper into MLOps, but I lacked direction and a clear path forward. From the very first conversation with Cristina, I was impressed by her extensive knowledge and experience in Data Science, Machine Learning and MLOps. Cristina is not only an expert with outstanding technical skills, but she’s also a seasoned AI leader. What makes the experience even more rewarding is how well she blends these two aspects. She isn't just focused on building my AI expertise, but also my leadership abilities and mindset. Cristina provides me with concrete suggestions on how to grow both technically and how to step-up into leadership. She is always encouraging me, and great at pointing me to valuable learning resources. What I truly appreciate, though, is how she challenges me to think differently. She encourages me to see the bigger picture and think beyond the technical aspects: how to navigate complex AI projects, make strategic decisions and measure value and impact. She is incredibly kind and I feel very lucky to be mentored by her. I cannot recommend her enough :)
