Erick Alejandro Barreat

Erick Alejandro Barreat

My name is Erick Alejandro Barreat Lopez. I came to the United States from Venezuela as a child, and those early years taught me something that shaped my entire life. Growth comes from showing up, staying curious, and building forward no matter the circumstance. That belief is the reason I created EB DevTech. I want people to have tools that raise them up, sharpen their thinking, and give them the freedom to focus on what matters. II’ve spent my career inside real operations; manufacturing, insurance, logistics, education, and small business; working with people who carry real responsibility and need clarity, not noise. My work is to build systems and AI tools that create time, reduce mental load, and strengthen the teams doing the work. Everything I teach is built from experience, fixing broken workflows, designing AI agents that actually perform, and helping people think clearly so they can move with purpose. If you’re here to grow, sharpen your mind, and build the future with intention, you’re in the right place. My goal is simple: ignite something in you that helps you rise, lead, and move forward with conviction.

Kay Lorraine Stoner

I'm a seasoned technologist, working in information applications since 1992. Over the years, I have championed accessibilty initiatives at a leading Financial Services and since 2000 led search programs at multiple multinational corporations. I've been in the business of connecting people with the information they need to work better, live better, and be better for over 30 years, and now I'm active in the AI space. I've been working daily with generative AI since late 2023, specializing in building teams of AI personas, specially configured to collaborate with each other and people to achieve amazing results. Generative AI is a fantastic thought partner. It's not just about automation and transactions. It's also a secret weapon for ideation, creativity, and unpacking issues that keep professionals and organizations blocked by old information and outdated structures. By unlocking the power of AI through personas, self-defensive prompting techniques, and establishing your clear executive presence, you can realize the kinds of results that have eluded you for too long. Get the help you've always wanted - and needed - with AI... like you've never seen it.

Dr. Constance Quigley

Dr. Constance Quigley

Dr. Constance Quigley is an entrepreneur, AI ethics consultant, business strategist, and award-winning author dedicated to helping leaders and organizations integrate artificial intelligence with integrity. She believes technology should amplify human potential—never replace it—and works with entrepreneurs, executives, and teams to design ethical, future-ready strategies that spark innovation and build trust. Whether writing, speaking, consulting, or teaching, her mission remains consistent: to empower people to lead boldly, think critically, and shape a future where progress and principles move in harmony. Professional Background Dr. Quigley holds a Doctorate in Business Management with a specialization in Organizational Leadership, along with an MBA. She has spent years helping leaders and organizations navigate transformation across corporate strategy, ethical AI integration, leadership development, and creative brand growth. Her career includes advising executives, building strategic roadmaps, and guiding organizations through digital transformation with a focus on ethics, accessibility, and human-centered innovation. She has worked across multiple industries—including technology, education, creative arts, healthcare, and entrepreneurship—giving her a multidisciplinary perspective that informs her teaching and consulting. As an author and speaker, she shares insights on purpose-driven technology, leadership excellence, and practical strategy design. Her blend of academic rigor, hands-on consulting experience, and creative problem-solving enables her to help individuals and organizations build systems that last, lead, and inspire. Certifications & Professional Development My Story My journey has never fit into a single box. It has unfolded at the intersection of two worlds : business and caregiving, strategy and service, innovation and humanity. Long before AI ethics and executive consulting became central to my work, the realities of healthcare shaped me, supporting family members with disabilities and developing a deep understanding of what compassionate, consistent care truly demands. In many ways, caregiving was my first education in leadership. As I built my career in business, strategy, and technology, I never stepped away from healthcare; I carried it with me. I worked across both paths in tandem, designing strategic roadmaps and guiding organizations through digital transformation, while also managing complex care plans, advocating within healthcare systems, and completing advanced training through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Caregivers Association. These parallel experiences formed a unique foundation: analytical enough to navigate corporate structures, and human-centered enough to understand the weight of real-world impact. While academia often rewards specialization, my life required integration. My roles as consultant, strategist, educator, and caregiver each informed the rest. Supporting individuals in vulnerable moments taught me that leadership is never abstract; it is personal, relational, and deeply grounded in empathy. Working in AI and organizational strategy reinforced that systems must be built ethically and with intention, because real people live with the consequences. Today, my work bridges both worlds. I help leaders adopt ethical AI, strengthen organizational culture, and innovate responsibly, guided by the same principles I learned through caregiving: protect dignity, promote clarity, build structures that support people, and ensure that progress never comes at the cost of humanity. Every chapter of my life has led me to one conviction: When technical innovation and human compassion move together, we build a future that truly serves people.
