Israel García

Head of Product Innovation at Cambridge Experts

Cambridge, United Kingdom

I help company leaders turn technology into a lasting competitive advantage. With over ten years of hands on experience working with AI and advanced technology, including my time at Google and collaborations with organisations such as Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft, I bring a practical, strategic perspective on sustainable growth and long term resilience.

My work focuses on mentoring leaders to make better technology decisions. This often involves identifying more efficient ways to use existing systems, reducing unnecessary complexity, and directing investment where it creates real business value. When innovation is required, it is purposeful, differentiated, and clearly aligned to measurable outcomes.

I help leaders cut through hype and shifting trends to build technology that stands out from competitors and continues to perform as markets evolve. The result is stronger judgement, clearer direction, and organisations that remain adaptable without losing focus.

If your business is at a point of growth or transition, book a strategic conversation to assess how technology can work harder for you.I help company leaders turn technology into a lasting competitive advantage.

Why you need a different way to think about AI decisions
Linkedin
January 05, 2026
If you are responsible for AI decisions today, you are likely feeling a quiet tension.

You are expected to move fast, show progress and keep up with competitors. At the same time, you know that some AI decisions are hard to reverse and even harder to explain later.

AI for SMEs:
Turning experimentation into measurable, governed impact

On 18 March 2026, I delivered a workshop to 300 small and medium sized enterprises across the Cambridgeshire region, focused on moving beyond AI curiosity into real business value.

The session explored how SMEs can transition from isolated experimentation to structured, scalable adoption. We addressed the practical steps required to embed AI responsibly, ensuring outcomes are measurable, aligned to business objectives, and governed with confidence.

Key themes included identifying high value use cases, establishing clear success metrics, and implementing lightweight governance frameworks that enable innovation without introducing unnecessary risk.

The goal was simple: equip business leaders with the mindset and tools to turn AI from a promising concept into a tangible driver of growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage.
