Why we recommend them
We recommend him for the cadence and for the filter. He publishes analysis every day, so his judgment can be audited before you hire him, which is rare in this field. He does not implement: he keeps the talk and the advice separate from the execution, which his team handles. And his own web page says he filters by values rather than by company size.
What they solve
- Your board has to decide on artificial intelligence and nobody in the room knows what to ask.
- You need to understand what a model, an agent and a context window are without becoming technical.
- A vendor's artificial intelligence proposal needs assessing and you have no basis to judge it.
- The technology committee cannot tell what to build in house and what to buy outside.
- Your event needs someone who explains artificial intelligence without hype and without abstractions.
- Adopting artificial intelligence will touch jobs and customers and the conversation has to be had honestly.
- You want to know where the money in artificial intelligence sits in Latin America and what role the region plays.
- An industry day needs hosting or moderating by someone prepared rather than improvising.
Not for
- He does not implement: execution is handled by his team at Navigamo, while he comes in as speaker and advisor.
- Not for someone looking for another person to run their company, because his role is to order the decision, not to execute it.
- Not for briefs that work against people, because he filters by values rather than by company size.
- Pro bono work is exceptional, so not for someone looking for a free talk as the norm.
Verifiable work
- An AI agent is not a chatbot. Confusing them gets expensive.
- Latin America's gold mine is not inventing AI. It is the mess we already have.
- AI has three layers. Latin America can only win in one, and it is not the one everyone watches.

Frequently asked questions
How do you book Camilo Ramírez for an artificial intelligence conference?
By writing directly to the email address published on his web page, with the context of the event: type, audience, date, city or virtual, language, and budget if it is already settled. He replies personally with availability and an indicative fee. There is no online calendar or booking form, and he publishes no rates, so the number comes out of that exchange.
What artificial intelligence topics does Camilo Ramírez speak on?
His web page names three talks: artificial intelligence governance, for boards and technology committees; corporate responsibility, on the impact to jobs, customers and community; and the basics for C-level, covering what a model is, what an agent is, what a context window is, and how to assess a proposal without being technical. The stated through line is translating artificial intelligence into the language of the business.
Does Camilo Ramírez implement artificial intelligence in my company?
No, and he says so explicitly. His role is speaker and advisor, while implementation is done by Navigamo, the company he cofounded. His web page frames the talk plus a handoff to that team as the natural flow when an organisation wants to move from understanding to execution. If you are looking for someone to run your company, he states plainly that this is not what he comes to do.
What is Pertinente and how often does it come out?
It is his daily podcast analysing artificial intelligence, business and geopolitics in Latin America. His web page describes episodes of six to thirteen minutes, Monday to Friday, running around ten minutes each. He also publishes a blog where each article grows out of an episode, a weekly long form conversation show, and a Friday letter.
Does Camilo Ramírez speak in English and travel outside Colombia?
His web page states native neutral Colombian Spanish and professional English at C1 level. On geography it says he is based in Bogotá and available for Latin America and anywhere in the world. He works in person, flying from Bogotá, or virtually with his own camera, audio and lighting setup. He publishes no calendar of upcoming appearances.
On what basis does he accept or turn down work?
He puts it in writing: he filters by values rather than company size, and says that if the brief works against people he is not the right person. He also states that his time and experience carry a price, and that pro bono work is exceptional and tied to specific causes. His is one of the few pages in this field where the filter is written down before the first meeting.
