As an IBM Applied AI Professional, Prompt Engineering Specialist, and Google Cloud Data Analyst, Are specialize in guiding hotels through digital transformation and AI integration. By opening their digital front doors, reimagining processes and culture, and transforming guest experiences, Are empowers hotels to thrive in a fast-paced world without relying on online travel agencies. In his free time, Are and his wife transformed abused and abandoned horses providing them a better opportunity to do what they were meant to do. “To me hospitality, digital transformation, and AI are art. It is like a painter who uses a combination of colors to create a picture. And we will all have a unique perspective on how we view the finished product. The key is to bring out the commonalities that tell us that this is an experience we want to share with others.”
