What Luiza talks about
The SaaS Collapse and What Comes Next
Generic software is losing market share to custom AI solutions. We'll look at the data — Asana's stalling growth, 35% of organizations already replacing SaaS with custom builds — and what this means for your business.
AI That Works: From Buzzword to Business Tool
For business owners who are skeptical or overwhelmed by AI hype. A grounded conversation about what AI can actually do for your operations, how to separate real value from vendor noise, and where to start.
Build Your First AI Tool
Hands-on session where participants learn the Build to Fit framework and leave with a working prototype. No coding background required. Available as half-day or full-day format.
AI Readiness for Your Team
Assess where AI creates real value for your organization. Build a clear adoption roadmap. Train your team on how to think about AI and where to focus first. Hands-on, tailored to your workflows.
Women Building in Tech
A personal story: moving from Brazil to Canada, starting as a QA engineer, getting to Senior Manager at RBC, and then stepping out to build. What I've learned about building with purpose and bringing others along.
Speaking formats
Keynotes
30–60 minutes. A focused talk on AI trends, custom builds, or the shift away from generic SaaS. Perfect for conference opening slots or all-hands meetings.
Panels
Moderator or panelist. Topics: practical AI for business owners, women in tech, the future of custom tools, or AI in your industry.
Workshops
Half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours). Hands-on Build to Fit training. Participants leave with a working prototype and a framework they can apply.
Corporate Training
Customized for your team. Covers AI readiness assessment, adoption planning, and hands-on training aligned to your business workflows.
Luiza's speaking style
Evidence first, no hype
You'll hear data, examples from real projects, and honest talk about what works and what doesn't. No buzzwords. No generic platitudes. Just grounded insights from someone who's built this at scale.
Practical takeaways
Whether it's a keynote or a workshop, you leave with something you can actually use. A framework. A decision to make. A first step. Something concrete.
Interactive when possible
Keynotes are talks, but workshops and training are collaborative. We ask questions. We problem-solve together. We build prototypes live.
Tailored to your audience
Whether you're a room full of founders, a corporate team, or a non-profit, the content adapts. Same evidence-driven approach, different focus.
Delivering through organizations that serve local businesses
I partner with community organizations to bring AI training and speaking to the people who need it most. If your organization serves entrepreneurs, small business owners, or tech professionals, let's talk.
