Background

About Willian Lima

I’m driven by the intersection of technology, business, and human impact. Ever since my engineering days, when I was researching materials for General Motors, I’ve understood that innovation only matters when it creates practical transformation. Today, as an AI Specialist at Google Cloud, I help digital-native companies unlock growth through artificial intelligence — translating cutting-edge technology into real business outcomes. My journey blends deep technical experience in data platforms and AI (Microsoft & Google) with strategic commercial expertise developed across multiple Latin American markets. I also co-founded bSurf, a startup that leveraged AI and computer vision to help surfers monitor wave conditions in real time. That entrepreneurial chapter taught me the importance of timing, customer empathy, and fast execution. I believe that leading with purpose is just as important as mastering the technology. My focus is on building bridges between innovation and real-world value — inspiring businesses to rethink what’s possible.
