Thiago E. Ferreira

Thiago E. Ferreira is the founder of Elevate AI Consulting, helping businesses cut through the AI hype and actually put it to work. His focus is simple: hands-on, human-centered AI education and automations for organizations that don't have a team of engineers on staff. Thiago is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Miami and an Instructor at IE Business School in Madrid, where he also earned his MBA and served as President of the school's LGBTQ+ club. His work spans industries and borders, from AI bootcamps and executive education to building custom AI agents, answer engine optimization, and strategic governance frameworks. He's led international business development across the U.S., Canada, Spain, and Portugal, always with the same philosophy: AI should be your superpower, not your pink slip. Outside of work, he volunteers with Junior Achievement of Greater Miami, teaching investing and real-world business skills to the next generation of leaders in Miami.
