Why Danilo McGarry Stands Apart in the AI World
Many claim expertise in AI, but few have the real-world track record to back it up. Danilo McGarry has built, scaled, and led AI programs at Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, and global enterprises, delivering measurable business impact. His AI strategies have generated over USD $2 billion in revenue, reduced operational costs by up to 50 percent, and helped businesses expand into new markets. He recently played a key role in transforming a company from a 900 million euro valuation to 4.9 billion in just four years by embedding AI into its core operations.
Unlike those who focus only on AI technology, Danilo ensures AI drives real business transformation. He has helped companies scale, create new revenue streams, and increase valuations by up to five times. His ability to apply AI at scale, turning it into a strategic advantage rather than just an experiment, makes him one of the few AI leaders with a proven ability to deliver both financial and operational results.
