    Meet Claire

    AI Expert. AI Strategist.
    AI Keynote Speaker.

    Claire B. Soares is an AI Expert, AI Strategist, and AI Keynote Speaker — and a Certified AI Consultant who helps organizations, entrepreneurs, and travel professionals adopt AI through keynotes, strategy sessions, and her proprietary V.O.I.C.E. Method™.

    Before becoming an AI Strategist, Claire spent more than a decade in Fortune 500 enterprise software sales, selling to Google, Microsoft, IBM, DHS and the DoD — closing more than $3.4 billion in deals as a top-10% performer. That sales discipline shows up in how she advises on AI: she doesn't sell tools. She designs roadmaps that produce revenue.

    Today, she's the founder of Travel AI Made Simple, the creator of The Luxury Travel Advisor Academy, an AI Keynote Speaker for corporate and industry events worldwide, and an AI Strategist running 90-minute AI Strategy Sessions, VIP Days, and Done-For-You AI builds for clients ready to scale with AI.
