Brady Lewis is Marketri's Vice President of Artificial Intelligence with over 20 years of experience as a technology-focused entrepreneur and enterprise consultant. Having spent 7+ years leading complex implementations at Salesforce for Fortune 500 companies across retail, finance, and education sectors, Brady brings a rare combination of hands-on technical architecture and strategic marketing insight to his role at Marketri.

Brady specializes in business process design, automation, and innovation, with particular expertise in marketing technology, AI architecture, and prompt engineering. As one of the early AI developers in the industry, he has built multiple AI applications and products from scratch, giving him deep understanding of both the technical challenges and practical opportunities that AI presents for modern marketing.

His unique perspective comes from living in two worlds: the technical world where solutions are built in APIs and databases, and the marketing world where success is measured in emotions and experiences. This dual fluency allows him to create that crucial translation layer between human intentions and digital possibilities, ensuring that sophisticated technical solutions actually solve real business problems.

A native of the Indianapolis area, Brady earned his B.S. in Informatics with a minor in Computer Science from Indiana University. He authored "AI For Newbies," which hit #1 in several Amazon categories in 2024, demonstrating his ability to make complex technical concepts understandable to broader audiences.

Having worked with clients of all sizes, from small startups to industry giants like Office Depot, FedEx, and ULTA Beauty, his clients benefit from his unique combination of expert technical architecture, strategic solution design, principal-level enterprise consulting experience, entrepreneurial insights, and cutting-edge AI expertise.

Outside of work, Brady keeps his analytical skills sharp through puzzle-solving and logic games, and is an active member of Mensa and Intertel, communities that foster his love of mental challenges and connect him with others who enjoy stretching their cognitive muscles.

Brady's advice to newcomers reflects his growth mindset: prioritize learning, explore beyond your concentration, and don't be afraid to try something new. Everyone was nervous the first time they did anything. The key is doing it anyway.

“If it’s a critical task, I would be much less concerned about limiting my input and output, and more concerned with making sure I was giving it enough context and getting the output that contains all of the critical details that I need.”

AI Fluency Is the New Digital Literacy: Why Training Is the Real Bottleneck (Not Tools)

“UC Today reports that most enterprise AI rollouts are stalling not from bad tools but from a training gap: employees aren't taught to verify outputs, protect sensitive data, or know when to hand back to human judgment. Marketri's Brady Lewis says the fix is building AI fluency into real workflows, not just prompt skill.”
