His incorporation will mean a boost in the business development of the new Artificial Intelligence services of the Basque company.

Sherpa.ai, a Basque company specialized in Artificial intelligence, incorporates into his team Celestino Garcia, former corporate vice president of Samsung Spain and Portugal. Thanks to this incorporation, the entity based in Erandio (Bilbao) reinforces and promotes its growth and expansion strategy.

Celestino García, actualmente Corporate advisor de Samsung y hasta finales de enero de este año la cara visible de la compañía en España y Portugal durante los últimos diez años será vicepresidente de Desarrollo de Negocio de Sherpa.ai y dirigirá, entre otros, el enfoque y ejecución de los próximos lanzamientos de la compañía.

"I am very proud to be part of one of the most promising technology companies worldwide. Artificial Intelligence is already fundamental in our lives, but it will become even more so, and it is also seen as a key to future economic development. I am convinced that Sherpa.ai will lead a relevant part of the development of this future," says García.
