Personal Profile
In the dynamic realm of business consultancy, Mr. Zambrano has played a pivotal role in driving transformative initiatives at Garrick Solutions. His collaborative approach shines through as he provides transformative energy and solutions for businesses to leverage technology for an exponential level of growth.
Through one of his engagements, he has designed automation systems, enhancing client engagement for a Morgan Stanley family office, as well as fostering partnerships with inventory management software companies so they can leverage application heat maps to evaluate functional use from their employees and customers.
Collaborating with PWC consulting, he changed the mindset of simply cost cutting, but also to focus on understanding the company culture, and the leadership factors affecting the daily operations. With this mindset shift, PWC was able to adjust their change management strategy in order to better support their client’s leadership, and offer more attainable solutions, versus targeting initiatives that required support from external parties, additional investors, and external government entities and regulators.
A noteworthy accomplishment is the implementation of robotic process automation for invoice processing in a healthcare provider, with yearly revenue of over $25M, employing optical character recognition (OCR).
Taking on the role of Vice President at Avacore LLC, Mr. Zambrano not only managed daily operations for this commercial aftermarket aircraft parts broker, but also led a team dedicated to providing seamless 24/7 procurement support for global aircraft lessors during crucial aircraft transitions. His commitment to collaboration is evident in the implementation of quoting automations, ensuring rapid responses within 5 minutes of incoming quotes, 24/7. Embodying the mantra “do more with less,” Mr. Zambrano emphasizes finding alternative solutions to overcome financial or operational barriers, enabling small companies to compete with industry giants.
As the Co-Founder of a successful online marketplace platform, Mr. Zambrano ventured into the e-commerce landscape, breathing life into innovative concepts. Within a year, he successfully onboarded over 40 companies and 11.4k parts onto inventory. His strategic vision is underscored by trademarking a copyrighted robotic process automation designed for auditing and uploading product inventory. Leading a startup Mr. Zambrano had to effectively communicate and interact with several types of people, from investors, outsourced developers, customers, and employees. One of his most memorable moments is training a sales manager to become more confident in herself, and lead IT project initiatives for the growth of the company. This was a critical moment for Mr. Zambrano, as he saw more reward and value to help others grow and develop, more than for his own personal gain.
In his capacity as a Business Advisor at Jet Airways, Mr. Zambrano exhibited exceptional leadership, actively contributing to the company’s quest for improved profitability. His collaborative leadership style is evident in the management of a companywide cost benchmarking exercise with Seabury Aviation Group and the formalization of processes with the Indian Aviation Regulator (DGCA). Spearheading the implementation of the company’s Manual of Authority and Purchasing Manual, Mr. Zambrano demonstrated a commitment to structured growth. Notably, he optimized the B737 fleet plan, maintaining 70 aircraft throughout 2023, and identified substantial savings of $19 million in airport manpower operations. His decisive actions resulted in the reduction of 650 third-party employees and 136 internal staff, reflecting both leadership acumen and dedication to the company’s financial health and growth.
Mr. Zambrano also co-managed the implementation of the self-check in process for American Airlines across all international operations. One of his accomplishments was redesigning the entire check in process of American Airline’s Paris operations, which was the airline’s 2nd largest European hub. By collaborating with airport operations, airport security, and American Airlines station leadership, Mr. Zambrano changed the leadership’s approach to providing a higher level of customer service, leveraging technology, and reallocating shift managers to better address bottlenecks in the check-in process.
Mr. Zambrano is a forward-thinking and strategic leader with extensive experience in company management and technology-driven efficiency. His Yoda-like approach to leadership prioritizes wisdom and strategy over superhuman efforts.

Executive summary
Agile Leadership
The world today is greatly different from that of even 4-5 years ago. Technology has invaded all aspects of the world, with advancements driving an exponential level of growth.
As five generations are present in the workforce there is an increase of complexity for these generations to work together in organizations. Globalization has shifted workforce demographics, and with a decline in working age populations in advanced economies, worker’s expectations of the organizations they belonged to changed. Organizations need to do more to help improve individual’s lives, act in a more ethical manner, and go beyond a basic financial compensation to motivate its workforce.

With the drastic introduction of artificial intelligence and data processing capabilities, leaders across organizations needed to shift to improve their adaptability and change their decision-making processes. Humans and artificial intelligence and technology needed to collaborate as different workers within an organization.
In a post Covid 19 world, where remote work is more prevalent, there is a rising need for employees to be more self-managed and be able to make decisions by themselves. To add to this fact the increase in technology offerings such as Chat GPT, AI, and Large Language Models further requires employees to shift their career focus to more decisive and collaborative jobs.
Because not everyone is in the same place, soft skills play a stronger role in working cohesively and effectively.
As described in Deloitte’s 2020 Insights “How did we get here” Technology advancements drove employees to become overwhelmed with the exponential changes all around them.
As a result of this current state organizations need to reevaluate job roles, and the skills necessary to truly perform roles effectively. Deloitte identifies the need for organizations to evolve to a “Social Enterprise”, where organizations must combine profitability and growth with the need to respect and support its workforce, customers, and vendors. Organizations must be seen as role models for individuals, to promote collaboration across all levels and verticals of an organization.
The focus of this program is to highlight the importance that soft skills have in the work environment, and that these will be the differentiators of success. As the business world progresses hard or technical skills are becoming less relevant.
