Carlos Granier

I've spent 25 years at the intersection of technology, content, and business — not as an observer, but as a builder.

I launched Venezuela's first live streaming television station in 1998, before most people had heard of streaming. I co-founded one of the first US Hispanic OTT subscription platforms before Netflix went global. I architected a YouTube MCN from scratch and grew it to over 200 million monthly views. At every stage, I've been the person who figures out how emerging technology actually works in practice — and then builds the systems to use it at scale.

Today I'm focused on AI. Not in a buzzword sense — I mean hands-on: deploying local LLM servers, building AI agents for content research and automation, designing data pipelines for investment analysis, and prototyping AI-powered production workflows.

I'm particularly interested in helping founders and executives implement AI as practical infrastructure — identifying the right use cases, building the systems, and delivering measurable business outcomes.

What I bring to the table

  • 25+ years founding and leading technology organizations
  • Hands-on builder — data pipelines, AI agents, automation systems
  • Early ML experimentation for recommendation and conversion optimization
  • Deep experience in content distribution, monetization, and platform architecture
  • Certified negotiator and mediator with experience at the OAS and Carter Center level
  • Judge and Mentor at MassChallenge since 2012

Beyond the work

Originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Based in Miami, Florida. When I'm not building things I'm fly fishing or overlanding somewhere remote.
