I specialize in empowering organizations to solve complex, real-world challenges by building exceptional teams of smart, driven individuals who apply their talents to create pragmatic, reliable technology solutions. My expertise lies in guiding businesses to harness the transformative power of data and AI for strategic advantage.

With a degree in Geological Engineering and over 25 years of experience delivering data-driven insights across diverse industries—including Environmental, Financial Services, AEC, Mining, and Oil & Gas—I have consistently focused on leveraging technology to drive measurable impact.

In 2016, I co-founded Menome Technologies to revolutionize how businesses unlock value from complex data. Our mission was to consolidate fragmented information, simplify complexity, and deliver clear, actionable insights that empower better decision-making and sustained competitive advantage. Menome's flagship platform, dataLink, became a cornerstone for businesses seeking growth and operational efficiency through advanced analytics and sophisticated data insights.

Following Menome's successful acquisition by Arcurve, I continue to lead in the strategic application of AI and data technologies as a Strategic Advisor for Enterprise AI Strategy and Transformation within Arcurve's Advanced Analytics team. I remain dedicated to expanding technical teams and capabilities, overseeing transformative projects, and regularly speaking on the pragmatic use of AI to drive business excellence.

Annie Margarita Yang

Annie Margarita Yang

Annie Margarita Yang is the definitive voice in Millennial finance, specializing in strategies for beating today’s tough economic challenges. She is the author of an award-winning, best-selling new book, The 5-Day Job Search, which helps young professionals get out of student loan debt while finding the ideal job.

With more than 1 million views on YouTube, her witty approach to tough talk sets her apart from others.

Annie’s journey began with a powerful motivation: to prove her high school guidance counselor wrong. Her guidance counselor drilled into her that she would be a failure for the rest of her life if she didn’t go straight to college and borrow $40,000 to get the degree. Annie refused to believe it. She secured three accounting jobs in a row in only 5 days, without the formal accounting degree.

And now Annie shares her methods with others so that they can do the same. Her candid style cuts through the noise, delivering foolproof advice for real-world challenges. Far from generic tips, her tips focus on practical steps to quickly improve finances, especially for challenges unique to Millennials.

Based in Boston with her husband, Annie complements her professional life with a love for piano, adding another layer to her multifaceted persona.
