With over a decade of hands-on experience, Francisco has built a career around delivering successful data-driven products and leading teams in Digitalization, IoT, Big Data, Data Science, and Machine Learning.

Before founding Nortech AI, Francisco saw a major gap in the maritime industry: the huge potential of leveraging the massive amounts of data produced by vessel equipment was not being materialized due to complexity in becoming more digital.

As experienced crews retired and new challenges like rising fuel costs and stricter regulations emerged, the need for smarter, data-driven operations became clear. That’s why he co-founded Nortech AI — to help the industry access the raw data they need, and convert it into actionable insights, reducing fuel costs, improving operational efficiency, and staying compliant with evolving regulations. In short, Nortech AI is here to make vessel equipment data work for you.
