Technology Strategist and Solutions Consultant specializing in digital transformation and continuous process improvement.
Founder of cafeoLogix and 17miles coffee roasters.
Doctoral Candidate (DBA) at the Swiss School of Business and Management, researching AI-enabled Kaizen in U.S. P&C insurance.
I’m Alessandra Gutierrez de Leon, an Enterprise Applications Manager and consultant specializing in digital transformation for the Property & Casualty insurance industry. I combine leadership strategy, process improvement, and technology adoption to design scalable solutions that deliver measurable business value.
Over my career, I’ve worn many hats — Business Analyst, Project Manager, and Testing Analyst — evolving into leadership roles that bridge strategy and execution. This balance of hands-on expertise and vision ensures that the solutions I design are not just innovative but implementable.
With over a decade of experience in Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and process improvement, I’ve led projects across enterprise migrations, metadata governance, Power Platform automation, and data-driven collaboration hubs.
Outside of corporate life, I’m an entrepreneur at heart — founder of cafeoLogix, offering Microsoft 365 consulting and web design for small businesses and nonprofits, and 17miles coffee roasters, a venture inspired by quality, sustainability, and community.
Continuous learning drives me: I hold a Mini‑MBA from Harvard Square, a Technical Management Program Certificate from UCLA, and a BA in Linguistics from UC Berkeley. I’m also a Certified Scrum Product Owner, Lean Six Sigma practitioner, and lifelong student of Kaizen and Total Quality Management.
I developed my BREW Framework — a practical approach to transformation:
B = Blueprint (define goals, scope, and strategy) • R = Requirements (gather and analyze needs) • E = Execution (develop, implement, and test) • W = Win (deliver, support, and ensure success).
Whether guiding an enterprise through system integration or helping a nonprofit embrace digital transformation, BREW helps me align people, processes, and technology for lasting impact.
