In recent years, Ivo has been at the forefront of integrating AI tools into capital project and PMO environments. Working hands-on with tools such as Claude, Claude for Excel, Cowork and NotebookLM, he has built AI-augmented workflows that have delivered complex technical documents in a fraction of the traditional time, with productivity gains of up to 6x on analytical and documentation-intensive tasks. He applies this experience to help organizations harness AI not to replace their people, but to multiply what each professional can achieve.
