Daniel Silva Barrera

I am a Head of AI and AI Product Manager with more than a decade of experience connecting advanced analytics with high-impact business decisions. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, product thinking, and execution: helping teams move from isolated experimentation to scalable AI capability.

Across banking, energy, and retail, I have led multidisciplinary teams delivering AI initiatives, analytical roadmaps, and digital transformation programs. I enjoy translating between technical depth and executive priorities so that models, platforms, and processes all contribute to measurable outcomes.

What I focus on

  • Designing AI and machine learning roadmaps tied to ROI and operational adoption.
  • Leading Data and AI products with a balance of technical quality, governance, and business impact.
  • Helping organizations build the processes, culture, and delivery discipline needed for sustainable AI.

Education and toolkit

My background includes an MSc in Industrial Engineering and a B.Eng. in Systems Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, plus specialization in AI Product Management and MLOps.

I regularly work with Python, SQL, PySpark, cloud platforms, and the operating practices that make analytics teams effective beyond the prototype stage.
