As AI Business Partner, Roberta’s role encompasses working with one of the hottest topics of the moment in terms of business transformation. Artificial Intelligence is increasingly impacting the way we work. With its rapid advancement, it has moved from an experimental playground to a serious player in influencing present and future business strategies. Roberta’s role bridges the gap between business needs and AI capabilities, ensuring that our company is leveraging AI to its fullest potential.
Tell us what your job as entails?
It involves collaborating with various departments to integrate Artificial intelligence solutions that enhance business processes. I work closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and identify opportunities where AI can add value. This includes developing AI strategies, managing projects, training and support as well as monitoring and evaluation.
What route did you take in terms of studies and jobs to where you are today?
I graduated with a degree in Economics, specializing in Organization and Finance Control Administration, and during my first job after university I realized my true passion lay in process analysis and organizational improvement. Following roles in the automation, shipping and fashion industries, I worked with sales and logistics processes and continuous process improvement projects and further honed my digital skills. I implemented new systems aimed at creating organizational efficiency and effectiveness through transformative technologies.
My desire to embrace new challenges in an international environment led me to join Electrolux Professional Group, starting in Digital Transformation.
What do you love about the role?
Seeing the positive impact of AI solutions and the ability to make a tangible impact on the organization is highly rewarding.

Given that AI is constantly evolving, continuous learning about the latest advancements and trends keeps the role exciting and allows me to bring fresh ideas to the table. 
And, on the other hand, what are the biggest challenges?
Stakeholders often have high expectations for AI solutions, sometimes expecting immediate and transformative results. It can be challenging to manage these expectations and communicate the realistic capabilities and limitations of AI. And again, since AI is constantly evolving it can be challenging to keep up with the latest technologies, trends, and best practices.
What advice would you give to people wanting to work in a position like yours?
It’s important to build a strong foundation in both business and technology and gain practical experience. Developing strong analytical and problem-solving skills, staying updated with the latest AI trends, and cultivating effective communication and collaboration abilities are key.
