I’m Luis Dias, an AI Solutions Architect at TUI, where I lead initiatives that harness the power of artificial intelligence to transform the travel experience.

I am passionate about teaching, product strategy and product management.
I am full of energy when I get to organize sessions for stakeholders to come up with ideas, roadmaps, solutions for improving the "as-is" situation. I am often praised for my ability to connect multiple levels across organizations in aligning needs to go forward. Because of my experience as a teacher I have a tendency to teach the people I work with everything I know, instead of quickly doing it for them.

This is reflected in my personal ‘Start with Why’ statement:

I believe we can change the way people see the world.
By helping them develop self-steering capabilities to become masters of their own learning journey.
I do this by providing dynamic, engaging sessions and by continuously sharing all that I know.
