About Adam Helbig

I\'ve spent 15 years building products at the intersection of AI and human impact — from multilingual chatbots that saved a Fortune 50 health system $16M annually, to adaptive learning platforms that reshaped how thousands of K-12 students learn.At Carelon.AI (Elevance Health), I lead product for enterprise AI — Generative AI, LLMs, workflow automation — across HR, Legal, Finance, and Compliance. I\'ve taken 50 proof-of-concepts to 30 products in production, built reusable AI frameworks that cut deployment costs by 60%, and directed international cross-functional teams to ship at scale inside a highly regulated environment.Before that, I secured $5.5M+ in grant funding (NSF, Dept. of Education) for AI-driven EdTech, taught at the university level, co-founded a K-12 content platform, and led a game studio from zero to $500K funded. I\'ve always been drawn to high-stakes, high-meaning product problems.Outside of work, I run Failur (failur.mn.co) — a community for entrepreneurs who believe the most important lessons come from failure. It\'s where founders talk honestly about what didn\'t work, and why that\'s the real foundation of building anything that does.I\'m actively exploring senior Product leadership opportunities in Europe — particularly in Portugal, Denmark, and Sweden — where I can bring AI product experience, cross-cultural team leadership, and a bias toward measurable impact to a company on a mission.If you\'re building something ambitious in the EU product space, I\'d love to connect. a••••••••@me.com | failur.mn.co
