Juan is CEO and co-founder of Authority AI, a full-service AI transformation partner and digital marketing company.

●SIGNATURE KEYNOTE · 45–60 MIN

The Unfair
Advantage

Inside a company where people and AI work side by side, and how to build yours.

Most leaders still use AI as a helper instead of putting it to work. Juan turned his marketing agency into an AI company and now runs it with a team of people and AI employees. On stage he pulls back the curtain on how they work together every day, explains in plain language what's possible right now, and makes the case for urgency: the companies that install an AI Business Operating System first gain an advantage competitors can't easily close.

// WHY JUAN

Experience. Not theory.

He does it, not just talks about it.

As CEO of Authority AI, Juan leads growth, marketing and his own company's AI transformation alongside his team, every day.

Executive-level experience

20 years leading teams and operations inside the world's top luxury hotel companies: lived operational knowledge, not theory.

A coach's lens

10,000+ hours coaching and consulting companies means every idea has to show up in revenue, profit or capacity.

I was incredibly impressed with Juan's ability to communicate business strategies to a room full of entrepreneurs and move everyone into action.
