Colin McNamara

AI Innovation Leader & Supply Chain Technologist

I am a lifelong problem-solver who combines deep technical expertise, business leadership, and hands-on innovation to tackle complex challenges—using cutting-edge AI to create meaningful solutions for businesses and communities. 🤖 AI Leadership & Innovation: My journey into AI began with GPT-3 contract synthesis and LangChain's Chat with Data Challenge. As a LangChain Ambassador and founder of the Austin LangChain AIMUG (now 1,000+ members strong), I focus on fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and advocating for practical AI applications. Our community has grown from learning in the open to presenting at major conferences like MLOps World. 💼 Business & Technology Integration: At Always Cool Brands, as Head of Engineering and Finance, I've woven AI into everything we do—from communication tools to financial modeling. We've transformed static processes into dynamic, intelligent systems that scale our impact beyond traditional staffing limitations. Through Key Bank's Mosaic team, I guide investment banks through technological shifts, bringing these insights to enhance our D2C strategies. 🛡️ Leadership Foundation: My leadership philosophy was shaped during my Marine Corps service, particularly during a critical moment with the Third Marine Air Wing in 2003. This experience taught me that respect and preparation matter more than rank, a principle I applied at Oracle where we achieved a 51% reduction in outage minutes across 64 global data centers. 🌱 Supply Chain Vision: I'm passionate about revolutionizing supply chain transparency. My vision includes transforming barcode data into a comprehensive gateway for product information—from provenance to health benefits. We're using AI to eliminate harmful additives from our food supply, ensure compliance, and build consumer trust through real-time oversight and transparency. I'm dedicated to fostering innovation, mentoring the next generation of tech leaders, and creating sustainable solutions that benefit both businesses and communities. Whether it's through AI implementation, supply chain optimization, or community building, I'm always eager to connect with others who share this vision for a better tomorrow.
