Irene Donato

I bring a scientific mindset to business decisions. My background is in Data Science, and over the years I%27ve led AI initiatives from research to production, helping organizations turn emerging technologies into measurable business value rather than isolated experiments.
As an advisor, my role is not to tell founders what they want to hear, but to help them validate assumptions, prioritize opportunities, and make decisions based on evidence. I naturally apply the scientific method to product strategy: formulate hypotheses, test quickly, measure outcomes, and iterate.
Today my expertise spans Data Science, Generative AI, AI Agents, and enterprise AI adoption. I understand both the technical landscape and the practical challenges of integrating AI into real organizations.
I add the most value to early-stage and growth-stage companies building AI-enabled products, data platforms, or technology-intensive businesses that need to bridge cutting-edge technology with execution, product strategy, and scalable business decisions.
