Hi, I’m Viviane Schneider

For over 20 years, I have worked across knowledge engineering and management, information systems, data analysis, including 13 years in workforce analytics, 11 years in symbolic AI (ontologies) and 4 years working with AI agents powered by neural models. I apply this experience to help organizations turn problems into opportunities to make better decisions.

Is this for youR organization?

My services fit your organization if…

Your data, knowledge, or AI systems are creating uncertainty, inconsistency, or unnecessary complexity.

You organization needs people and technology to work together more coherently, with clearer value, ownership, and purpose.

Your workforce faces turnover, health, workload, or work-environment challenges that deserve prevention, not just reaction.

Everything we can do together

Building Resilient & Reliable Socio-technical Systems

Data Foundation and meaning → Improve data quality and consistency to support reliable reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence. Connect data and knowledge so they are easier to find, interpret, reuse, and share across people and systems.

AI Inventory & Alignment → Identify AI use, ownership, costs, benefits, expected ROI, and risks, with alignment informed by NIST AI RMF.

AI-Data Governance → Define ownership, decision rights, policies, and review processes across data, AI, and organizational systems.

Workforce Analytics → Use workforce data and metrics to understand patterns, support planning, and improve decisions.

Workforce Health Prevention → Understand the work system, identify conditions that may create harm, strengthen resilience, and implement preventive actions.

Knowledge Creation & Transfer → Create operational common ground thought semantic solutions. Facilitate workshops, documentation, training, and practical guidance that strengthen organizational capability and preserve know-how.

How I work

My principles

Principles that guide my work through the valley of the shadow of messy data and human complexity.

Coherence with purpose

Ensure that data, systems, people, and AI initiatives work together toward the organization’s mission, remain consistent with its values, and support the long-term well-being of the people and communities affected.

Commitment with Excellence

Deliver work that is accurate, useful, and built to last. Share the knowledge and documentation clients need to understand, maintain, and adapt their solutions.

Different perspectives welcome

Different viewpoints are welcome because together we can question assumptions, reveal blind spots, and build better solutions.

Simplicity with effectiveness

Remove unnecessary complexity without compromising the solution’s ability to solve the problem.

Continuous improvement

Treat solutions as things to test and improve. Measure results, learn from mistakes, and adapt as people, priorities, and circumstances change.

How we work together

A grounded, supported path from first
click to lasting change

FAQ

Answers to what most clients ask first

Don’t see your question? Reach out — we respond personally within one business day.

Do I need to pay for the first visit/call?

No. We begin with a free visit or discovery call so we can assess fit and discuss what you’re hoping to work on. From there, you’ll choose a program, receive access to your dashboard, and book my first visit. Sessions are held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your plan.

Do we need to know every AI tool we use before contacting you?

No. An inventory engagement can help establish that starting picture. We agree on which teams and information sources to review and record any coverage limitations.

What are your qualifications?

I hold a doctorate evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. PhD in Intelligent Systems Engineering, a master’s in Knowledge Engineering and Management, and a bachelor’s in Information Systems. I bring over 20 years of experience in organizational systems, Ontologies, knowledge engineering, data analysis, and workforce analytics. Across organizations from Brazil and the United States I can provide you with a unique perspective that will prepare your organization for current and future challenges.

Can we start with one department or AI application?

Yes. A focused scope can make the first engagement easier to manage and help identify where a broader review would be useful.

Do you use the NIST AI Risk Management Framework?


Yes. It provides a reference for organizing relevant governance questions. The review is adapted to your context and available evidence. Using the framework does not provide NIST certification or establish legal compliance. Learn about the NIST AI RMF ↗
