About Me

Brandon Gadoci

VP of AI Operations at data.world | Author of "SHAIPE"

I'm leading the charge in AI Operations (AI Ops), helping organizations seamlessly integrate AI into their core business functions. My work focuses on breaking down barriers to AI adoption, enabling businesses to harness the full potential of AI-driven insights, automation, and innovation.

Professional Life

As the first employee and current VP of AI Operations at data.world, I support the Office of the COO in key strategic cross-functional AI initiatives. Areas of focus include app development, operational excellence, and innovation. At data.world, we empower organizations to transform siloed, scattered data into actionable knowledge.

Beyond data, my passion is in AI literacy and cultural transformation. AI is more than a tool—it's a paradigm shift in how businesses operate, requiring new mindsets, education, and processes. I work with leaders and teams to demystify AI, overcome resistance, and create environments where AI becomes an augmentation force rather than a disruption.

I've also written a book on AI Operations which explores how organizations can effectively integrate AI into their operations. You can access it on this site under the Book section.

Key areas of focus:

• AI Literacy & Change Management: Helping enterprises prepare their workforce for AI adoption
• Human-Centric AI: Driving AI initiatives that enhance human potential rather than replace it
• Discovering AI Use Cases: Identifying and implementing high-impact AI applications
• Scaling AI Operations: Moving organizations from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI integration

Personal Life

I've been happily married for 23 years and am a proud parent of two teenagers. When I'm not working on AI initiatives, I enjoy staying active through fitness, cooking delicious meals, appreciating good red wine, and spending time outdoors when the weather permits.

I'm a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin where I studied Advertising and Media. I also spent a year at the Savannah College of Art and Design studying graphic design and playing NCAA Division III Soccer. You can explore my full professional and personal journey on my interactive timeline.

I've become very excited about AI and spend most of my time using it and leveraging it. I believe it's a key to leveling up in whatever you want to do. I'm always looking to connect with others navigating the AI revolution to build the future of AI-powered business together!
