Background

About Nery Guzman

I am a serial entrepreneur and strategic innovation advisor with over a decade of experience launching and exiting AI and data-driven companies in Latin America, North America, and Asia. As Founder of Aly-ai (acquired by Allied Global, part of Vensure Global) and BlackBox GT, I have delivered affordable AI solutions to hundreds of SMEs, empowering them with tools typically accessible only to large corporations. Today, I am the founder of Kajiya — a digital forge and engineering studio based in Japan — where we design, prototype, and build high-impact products that automate operations, reduce costs, and boost sales for businesses worldwide. I recently graduated from the prestigious MIT REAP Cohort 10, representing Guatemala as a Data Rockstar and Entrepreneur. Currently, I work with global enterprises such as Honda Japan as a strategic technology consultant, providing high-value research and actionable roadmaps for AI, automation, and next-gen commercial applications. My passion is to connect ecosystems between LATAM and Asia, drive innovation through evidence-based design and agile engineering, and enable sustainable economic growth through technology. Let’s connect if you’re interested in co-creating the next generation of impact products.
