Thiago Lourenço Martins · Forward Deployed AI Strategist

Tools change.Knowing what to solvedoesn't.

Solving business problems since before AI. Now, faster.

I find the problem that costs your operation the most money and put a working solution in place to fix it for good.

Everyone has AI now. What's missing is knowing what to solve.

Most companies don't lack tools. They lose money because nobody has looked inside the operation to see where it's leaking.

My methodology

01

Listen

The people living the problem are rarely heard. I start with them... and with what nobody says in the meeting.

02

Understand

The process on paper isn't what actually happens. Money leaks through the real one... where nobody's looking.

03

80/20

Not every problem deserves a fix right now. I find the few that cost the most... and start there.

04

MVP

No year-long projects nobody uses. In weeks, it's running in the team's daily work.

05

Scale

A tool the team abandons solves nothing. I stay until it's routine... then move on to the next problem.

My lens

See how I think through a problem:

Pick a scenario. Watch everyday chaos become a plan: the problems, the few that cost the most, the fix, the result.

      From Brazil's Northeast. Based in Joinville.

      I was born in Fortaleza and have lived in Joinville for more than 15 years. What drives me is helping people solve what gets in the way of their work... technology just made me faster at it. My faith in God has been with me through every turn. I'm passionate about Formula 1. And yes... I root for Fortaleza, the soccer club.
