Agueda Schwartz
I lead a 0-to-1 AI Entrepreneurship Portfolio at WGU Labs as the sole PM, exploring a set of related product bets through jobs-to-be-done while running a 7-founder weekly learning pilot. I bring twelve-plus years across two continents and three industries (K-12 in Peru, professional services in NYC, higher-ed today), working in English and Spanish, and across all of it leading adoption of new practices in teams I don't manage, as a peer who learns from colleagues and contributes what I know. That has looked like a 2,000-user platform rollout that cut input errors by a third, and faculty training I ran for a nursing program's shift to competency-based education. My practice is rooted in design thinking, reflective practice, learning science, and systems thinking, and in a belief about access: education has been my lever for it, and I think the same question now applies to AI, whether the ways of working we build reach people outside well-resourced organizations.
What I'm working on now
One project and two personal tracks I run on the same operating model.
How I work with AI
An operating model I built on Claude Code, six months in.
What I'm learning as I work
Methods, experiments, failures, and signals. Less polished than Practice or Projects on purpose.
