Systems Designer for AI Readiness & Transformation


TJ Travelbee is a creative technologist with 20 years of experience in business transformation, product development and management consulting, specializing in hybrid cloud architecture for ML/AI enabled enterprise systems (GCP Certified) and leading transformational programs through organizational change and technical complexity. An expert in design-led collaboration, unifies the client partner ecosystem to solve strategic business problems

With nearly 2 decades of diverse experience in business development, product delivery, and professional services leadership, I empower F1000 executives, PE, and home office partners to achieve AI readiness and governance. I utilize a data-driven approach to everything, running design build sprints for tooling and collaborative process that produce "Responsible AI” solutions and ultimately category leadership for my clients. As a broader container for ethical philosophy (strategy) and responsible frameworks (operations), human centered AI is an incredible market opportunity, currently valued at USD 150.2 billion and projected to reach USD 1,345.2 billion by 2030.

  • Leading executive mandates: I work directly with F1000 division heads, PE firms, and home office leadership to audit their current state, and instrument workflows, and develop M&A technical product strategy, carve-out, and IPO readiness solutions.

  • Developing AI-enabled future-state models: I specialize in organizational readiness and governance, spanning people, processes, and technology. My solutions form the foundation of the Responsible AI Transformation category.

  • Building a first-to-market portfolio: I lead a team of engineers and business development professionals to create innovative services and tools that produce organizational readiness and system governance for AI as a core capability.

  • Guiding complex transformations: I leverage my expertise in hybrid cloud architecture for ML/AI-enabled enterprise systems (GCP Certified) to implement RLHF, RAG pipelines, and MLOPS solutions. I also lead transformational programs through organizational change and technical complexity.

  • Facilitating design-led collaboration: I foster a collaborative environment where the client partner ecosystem works together to solve strategic business problems.

My passion lies in leading with empathy and a principled approach to responsible AI adoption. Through my expertise and market insight, I am committed to empowering organizations to leverage the power of AI responsibly and achieve their strategic objectives.
