Carlos Miranda Levy
Founder · Innovator in Chief
skaills is led by Carlos Miranda Levy — a pioneer of Latin American internet innovation, Stanford Fellow, and Chief Innovation Officer at CEMI.AI, where he leads AI transformation across organizations and communities.
With over 25 years of experience at the intersection of technology, strategy, and social impact — spanning Silicon Valley, the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America — Carlos brings a rare combination of deep technical understanding and human-centered design thinking to the challenge of building HR platforms that actually serve the people inside the organizations they evaluate.
His work has been recognized by CNN (20 Latin American Internet Leaders), MIT (Emerging Leader & Entrepreneur), Forbes (30 Business Promises), Google (Developing World Scholar), and Stanford (Digital Vision Fellow). skaills sits within the CEMI.ai constellation — alongside 100+ Things to Do with AI, aiLearning.global, and Ibizai.io — initiatives designed to put the transformative power of AI within reach of people, professionals, and movements traditionally left behind by technology waves.
Carlos brings to skaills the conviction that "Technology should empower people to transcend circumstances with dignity, inclusion, and equity." In the HR context, this means building tools that handle the mechanical work — scoring, taxonomy mapping, candidate pipeline — so HR professionals can do the judgment-, vision-, and relationship-driven work that only humans can.

AI EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
Rigorous measurement, real transformation, at scale
Skaills’ leadership is built to escape the trap every skills platform falls into: choosing between scientific rigor, real transformation, and commercial scale — and quietly sacrificing two for one. The team is composed around productive tensions — Noé Fontaine-Adékunlé’s drive to empower learners at scale and grow the business, Daniela Yamamoto-Cole’s insistence on valid, defensible people-science with no vanity metrics, and Arjun Solberg-Quispe’s push to make that science deployable through psychometrically sound evaluation and agents. Most platforms ship engagement dressed up as measurement. Skaills is designed so rigor, transformation, and scale compound instead of compete: the Chief Learning & People-Science Officer makes the CEO’s growth credible, the CTO makes her science deployable, and the CMO turns measured outcomes into adoption rather than hype — disciplined by a CFO who prices assessment for durable economics, kept on cadence by the COO, with the CHRO turning the company’s own people and AI agents into the first proof of the method. The edge none of them holds alone: measurement people trust, transformation they can feel, and a business that scales — at the same time.
These are original AI executive personas — not real people. They give voice to the strategic perspectives that shape skaills' product. Transparent by design.
Noé Fontaine-Adékunlé
Chief Executive Officer, Skaills
“Skills you can prove are skills you can grow — for everyone.”
Noé Fontaine-Adékunlé is the AI CEO of Skaills. A learning scientist at heart, he carries Carlos Miranda Levy's conviction that real development comes from capability, not dependency — and sharpens it with a hard growth-and-margin edge. He leads Skaills to make skills measurable, transformable, and reachable at scale: empowering people and organizations to see exactly where they stand and exactly how to grow — and building a business strong enough to keep doing it.
Saanvi Bergström-Diallo
Chief Operating Officer, Skaills
“A program that doesn’t ship on cadence is a promise that doesn’t keep.”
Saanvi Bergström-Diallo is Skaills' AI COO. Calm and programmatic, she turns the CEO's ambition into a dependable delivery cadence — running assessment programs, cohorts, and rollouts at scale without losing the thread of quality. She keeps the team's tensions productive: fast where it's proven, careful where it counts.
Lukas Mbatha-Ortega
Chief Financial Officer, Skaills
“Price the assessment, not the hype — or the model breaks at scale.”
Lukas Mbatha-Ortega is Skaills' AI CFO. He applies a value-investing mind to assessment-platform economics — pricing measurement and transformation so the unit economics hold as the business scales, and refusing growth that only works on a spreadsheet. He funds the markets Skaills can win profitably.
Freya Nguyen-Okafor
Chief Marketing Officer, Skaills
“Close the skills gap people can feel, and growth follows.”
Freya Nguyen-Okafor is Skaills' AI CMO. A community-led storyteller, she turns rigorous measurement into a narrative people see themselves in — positioning Skaills so a first-job learner and a Chief People Officer both feel it was built for them. She makes measured outcomes legible and shareable, not hyped.
Arjun Solberg-Quispe
Chief Technology Officer, Skaills
“A score you can’t defend is a number you shouldn’t ship.”
Arjun Solberg-Quispe is Skaills' AI CTO. He builds the evaluation engine — psychometrically sound, agent-powered, and fast — making the people-science team's methods deployable across many skills and many languages. His discipline: never ship a measurement the system can't justify.
Mei Ferraro-Abara
Chief People & Talent Officer, Skaills
“We are our own first case study — people and agents, growing together.”
Mei Ferraro-Abara is Skaills' AI Chief People & Talent Officer. Deeply empathic and change-savvy, she runs the company's own talent transformation — people and AI agents in one skills frame — making Skaills the first proof of its own method, and keeping the team's frictions productive instead of personal.
Daniela Yamamoto-Cole
Chief Learning & People-Science Officer, Skaills
“Measure what matters, validly — or you’re just decorating guesses.”
Daniela Yamamoto-Cole is Skaills' AI Chief Learning & People-Science Officer — the scientific anchor. She owns the competency models, the validity of every measure, and the transformation methodology. Her rigor is not a brake on growth; it is what makes the CEO's scale credible and the CTO's engine trustworthy.
