Co-Founder, Silicon Valley Certification Hub
EdTech Advocate · Author · Digital Credentialing Expert
Daniel Gómez is Co-Founder of Silicon Valley Certification Hub and an EdTech advocate, author, and digital credentialing expert with deep experience in enterprise technology and organizational digital transformation. His unique combination of technical acumen and strategic vision — developed across global organizations in telecommunications, enterprise infrastructure, and consumer goods — enables him to drive innovation, optimize operations, and translate complex technology domains into clear business frameworks. At SVCH, Daniel brings operational depth to the curriculum and AI Assessment practice, particularly on data infrastructure, organizational technology maturity, and the credentialing systems that give AI certifications real market value.
Professional Background
Daniel has held leadership positions at organizations that define the intersection of telecommunications, enterprise technology, and global business operations:
- Alestra (AT&T) — Enterprise technology and telecommunications leadership, managing large-scale infrastructure and enterprise service delivery for business clients across Latin America.
- Liberty Latin America (LLA) — Technology strategy and operations for one of the largest cable and telecom companies in the Caribbean and Latin America, with responsibility for digital transformation initiatives.
- Ericsson — Enterprise technology and network solutions at global scale, working across markets on telecommunications infrastructure and the digital systems that power modern business operations.
- Coca-Cola — Technology and operations leadership within one of the world’s largest consumer goods organizations, applying data systems and digital infrastructure to supply chain and commercial operations.
This background spans the full stack of organizational technology — from network infrastructure and enterprise software to data governance and digital credentialing — and informs how SVCH evaluates the data and technology readiness dimensions of an AI Assessment for companies.
Author: Data Management for Kids
Daniel is the author of Data Management for Kids: Unlock the Power of Data for the Next Generation (Staten House, December 2024 — ISBN 9798895879283), a foundational literacy guide that introduces young learners to data concepts: how data is collected, stored, governed, and used to drive decisions in the modern world.
The book addresses a structural gap in AI readiness: the AI economy is built on data, but most people have never been taught to think about data critically, evaluate its quality, or understand the governance decisions that determine how it is used. Data Management for Kids argues that this literacy must begin early — that the workforce capable of deploying and governing AI responsibly is built from students who understand data, not just technology.
The book is available through major retailers and is used in educational settings focused on building digital and data literacy at the foundational level.
Digital Credentialing & EdTech
Daniel’s work in digital credentialing focuses on building the standards and systems that allow professional certifications to be issued, shared, and verified digitally — with the rigor that employers and regulators require. This work is central to Silicon Valley Certification Hub’s mission: SVCH holds ANSI accreditation specifically because digital credentials must meet internationally recognized standards to carry real weight in the labor market.
As an EdTech advocate and columnist, Daniel writes and speaks on data literacy, AI education, and the future of professional credentialing — arguing that as AI reshapes job requirements faster than traditional education can adapt, verifiable, stackable digital credentials become the primary currency of professional qualification.
AI Assessment for Companies
Daniel contributes to Silicon Valley Certification Hub’s AI Assessment methodology, particularly the data readiness and technology maturity dimensions. His operational experience across industries where data infrastructure is existential — telecommunications, enterprise technology, consumer goods — gives the SVCH assessment framework its grounding in how real organizations manage, govern, and deploy data at scale.
An AI Assessment for companies that includes Daniel’s expertise covers not just strategic alignment and talent gaps, but the underlying data architecture decisions that determine whether an AI initiative can scale — or will fail the moment it moves beyond a controlled pilot environment.
About Silicon Valley Certification Hub
Daniel co-founded Silicon Valley Certification Hub alongside CEO Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia with the conviction that enterprise AI leadership requires structured, credentialed preparation — and that the organizations best positioned to deploy AI responsibly are those that invest in both strategy and data capability simultaneously. SVCH’s programs and assessment services are designed to build both.
