Who am I?
I'm Daniela Simancas, Computer Scientist, Industrial Engineer and Data Scientist turned consultant. My work over the past 5 years has been focused on helping Large Companies, especially in the Food & Beverage sector to solve their production quality and efficiency problems by leveraging AI.
I live and breathe technology and innovation.
I’m obsessed with how AI can create - real, tangible change - in industries. My focus? Helping Food & Beverage and Packaged Consumer Goods companies transform their production processes—and not just in theory, but in a way that actually works on the factory floor.
In a world drowning in AI tools , I help businesses figure out:
- 👩💻 Who - they need on their team,
- 🔄 How - to rethink their processes, and
- 💡 What - tech to invest in so it actually delivers results.
Who do I Work With?
I’ve worked with some of the biggest brands out there—you’ve definitely eaten their snacks 🍪, washed your clothes 🧺 with their products, or have them sitting in your home 🏡 right now. I won’t name names (you get it), but trust me, they’re brands you know.
How do I Make It Happen?
I lead - high-energy teams - of Engineers, Data Scientists, Strategy Consultants, and Change Management experts. Together, we take Digital Transformation from - zero to 100 - in record time 🚀.
Here’s how we do it:
- On the Shop Floor 🏭: We roll up our sleeves, talk to Operators, Shift Leaders, and the Plant Manager. We figure out what’s not working, calm their fears about AI, and make sure the tech actually makes their lives easier. Hell, even if there’s a language barrier, we’ve got that covered—everything gets translated (with AI of course 😏).
- In the Boardroom 💼: We bring Senior Leaders into the conversation, manage expectations, and make sure we secure the funding to bring these projects to life.
We don’t sugarcoat things, and we don’t leave any detail hanging. Because let’s face it—true transformation is as much about people as it is about technology.
Why does it matter?
What I do isn’t just about making things faster or cheaper—it’s about completely reimagining how food is made. From the art of making food and consumer goods products 🍳 to the science of it 🧪, we’re setting a new standard. It is also not an optional change, this is the direction the world 🌍 is taking and those who refuse to digitalize their processes will see how their competitors outpace them.
