Yaddy Arroyo

Some people call what I do mentoring, but I just call it “being a super cheerleader for those who need it and deserve it.” I advise founders on UX + accessibility + ai-enablement. I also connect amazing ai-enabled product makers and builders with other creative scientists. 

I cover most verticals except banking (because of potential conflicts of interest with my day job), but my favorite vertical is healthcare biometrics wearables for at home use.

I’ve lost tons of family and friends, and seeing the hospice care made me realize there has got to be a way to help people leave this world with dignity, at home. I’m trying to improve the world. This is my way of giving back to the community.

The Bravo Group

At Bravo, it was my job to understand the human experience nuances of the US Hispanic market, specifically within the digital realm (online, mobile, offline digital, etc.). I  translated their cultural, experience, and channel-preference nuances into digestible nuggets of information we used to improve their online and offline user experience. 

Since the digital experience plans impacted both real life and virtual life environments, collaboration with creative strategists and other account planners was quintessential for measurable success.

Project managed several enterprise-wide system and interactive product integrations. I also helped launch new interactive financial utility tools and products.

I aided in partnership acquisition and pricing strategy, and the day-to-day management of partnership development and site operations.
