Ivan Lavazza - Dad, World Traveler, Inventor, Coach, Duke
Helping people discover their full potential
I am an inventor at heart, blending deep experience in technology and business to create innovative solutions, especially within the realm of Generative AI and analytics-driven strategies. As a dedicated dad of two teenagers and a devoted husband, my family inspires me daily to stay curious and maintain my passion for learning. I've enjoyed a dynamic career, from startup ventures to large corporations, always focusing on the intersection of creativity and data-driven insights. Beyond work, I love traveling, coaching youth sports, and mentoring individuals—roles that enrich my life and remind me that the most valuable investments we make are in people and experiences.
What Would I like to do When I Grow Up
Marketing & Tech in Corporate America
I will always be grateful to the people who believed—and continue to believe—in me, providing opportunities to pursue a fulfilling career as a senior leader in both IT and Marketing.
Startups, High Risk and High Rewards
Ah startups, the world where ideas are king, pace is insane, risk is high, and dopamine fuels your day. I lost count of the ideas we developed into a business.
Learning and Sharing as a Way of Life
Learning Data Science? Why not? Going back to college? Why not?
Building AI Agents? ... Why not?
And why not share it with others?
A journey of a million miles to find myself
Traveling the world opened my mind and healed my soul. Ironically, the moment I believed I fully understood how to connect with other cultures was precisely when my arrogance peaked and my openness was at its lowest.
