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.

Sr. Manager, UX Design

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.

Digital Experience Planner

Discover Financial Services

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

Aside from enterprise-wide solutions, I was also accountable for all of ShopDiscover.com operations:  daily and weekly maintenance updates, new partner site integration, "hot deals" maintenance, operations issues, file transfer and data feed issues, infosec compliance, strategy design roadmap, digital strategy, and functionality upgrade redesign work.

Sr. Associate: e-Business

I was the Sr. Associate Interactive Product Manager of Shopdiscover.com.  I handled the tactical implementation of our partnership strategy. A techno-heavy role, where indepth knowledge of legal and security issues was paramount, I worked with multiple stakeholders to launch one of the most successful affiliate programs on Linkshare, Commission Junction and Google Affiliate Networks.

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

Sr. Associate: Partnership Marketing

Empathy is not a weakness. It’s a start. It gives us a purview  into Ai UX usecases  we can start from.
