AI Consultant · Founder of MAIA

AI thatdelivers.

I design AI agents and products for businesses. Eighteen years running operations taught me that technology is only worth what it delivers.

Discipline • Process • Consistency

Signature of Miguel Ángel Arriaga

My story in three acts

From hospitality to AI and asset management.

  1. Eighteen years in hospitality.

    I led purchasing and F&B operations at Europe Hotels International, where every euro counts and chaos is not an option. That discipline became my hidden edge.

  2. The same discipline, applied to AI.

    I founded MAIA, my AI agent consultancy for businesses. More than fifteen digital products launched for real clients. Process. Data. Results.

  3. No system, no results.

    Master’s in Financial Asset Management and co-founder of Quantum Era. I manage capital with rules, data and risk control — never with emotion.
