About Alexandra Damley-Strnad

I am an enterprise AI leader focused on turning advanced AI into decisive, real-world advantage. As a Senior AI Engagement Manager at C3 AI, I partner with global enterprises and public-sector organizations to design, deploy, and scale mission-critical enterprise AI systems, delivering measurable operational and financial impact—moving rapidly from pilot to production when the stakes are high and the margin for error is low.My work sits at the intersection of Enterprise AI Strategy, AI Program Leadership, and AI Transformation at Scale. I specialize in defense, energy, and other complex commercial environments where resilience, security, and speed matter. I help organizations operationalize enterprise AI capabilities, including predictive analytics, optimization, decision intelligence, and GenAI, while navigating governance, adoption, and change management across large, distributed organizations. The result is faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership, and durable outcomes for enterprise-scale AI initiatives.I hold an active Department of Defense TS/SCI clearance and have deep experience operating in classified, regulated, and high-consequence environments where trust, discretion, and execution rigor are non-negotiable. This enables me to deliver AI solutions in defense programs, national security initiatives, critical infrastructure projects, and enterprise AI deployments.Based in the Washington, D.C. area, I bring a multidisciplinary background spanning science, engineering, athletics, entrepreneurship, and industry. I thrive in high-pressure, globally networked environments and am motivated by problems that are technically hard, economically meaningful, and strategically consequential. I am particularly effective in organizations operating across borders, regulatory regimes, and cultures, where alignment between technology, leadership, and execution is critical.I am open to high-risk, high-reward roles with compelling compensation across North America, including companies with international operations, global enterprise customers, and multi-regional AI programs. I am especially interested in cutting-edge enterprise AI organizations working in defense, energy, and other capital-intensive and heavy industry applications, where AI is not experimental, but essential.My objective is to create, deploy, and scale enterprise AI solution that strengthen the real economy, advance industrial and national capabilities, and deliver lasting value at global scale.
