Academia

Academic Commitment.

I’ve been committed to working with exceptional students to achieve their career goals, build amazing businesses, and convert their research into products, services, and startups.

Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of serving as a Professor of Practice in Applied Artificial Intelligence at the EGADE Business School in Monterrey, where I designed and teach Latin America's first MBA-level course on Applied AI Ethics, Governance, and Strategy. Across nine iterations in under two years, students have consistently rated the course as (9.5+/10), with 14% going on to propose AI governance initiatives at top Latin American companies using frameworks developed in our program.

In parallel, I serve as an Industry Advisor at Stanford University, including the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I collaborate with MBA, PhD, and Postdoctoral students on research translation, venture design, strategy, and AI commercialization. My role bridges theory and execution—helping students bring high-impact ideas to market with clarity and speed. I also advise Cornell PhD and Postdoctoral researchers through their Runway Startup program, focusing on transforming technical research into viable business models.

My scholarly contributions include ongoing research on Sovereign AI and human rights with Stanford alumna Dr. Alysa Kate Shivji, with accepted abstracts at the 8th Global Strategy & Emerging Markets Conference and forthcoming publication in the Business and Human Rights Journal.

Beyond the classroom, I've contributed to designing and launching graduate programs in AI and Data Science at institutions like Universidad Panamericana, and serve as Special Advisor to the President of Mexico's National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), where I co-developed one of the world's first AI Codes of Ethics for a financial regulator, work that directly informs my teaching and research to build a more just, democratic, and equitable world in the era of advanced artificial intelligence.

In 2025, my research and application for postgraduate work were accepted by Harvard University to build my world on Sovereign AI and geoeconomics. Heavily influenced by teaching, working with governments and businesses, and a project I founded in 2022, BillofRights.ai, which helps to establish national and individual sovereignty in AI.

What drives me most is the reciprocal nature of academic collaboration. While I bring real-world AI implementation experience from advising Fortune 500 companies and G20 governments, I'm equally energized by learning from faculty and students who challenge my thinking and push the boundaries of what's possible in AI, ethics, governance, and business.

These collaborations are never one-size-fits-all. I tailor my contributions to fit each institution's goals—whether that means guest lecturing, co-developing curriculum, mentoring student ventures, or designing new interdisciplinary programs that bridge AI, policy, and ethics.

If you're exploring ways to strengthen your AI and technology programs, advance research in AI or digital governance, or create new pathways for students to engage with the implications of emerging technologies thoughtfully, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how we might collaborate to advance both scholarship and real-world impact.
