With more than two decades of experience in tourism, digital marketing, communications, training and technology, he brings a practical business perspective to artificial intelligence.
His presentations focus on making AI understandable and useful for everyday professionals—not merely as a technology trend, but as a tool that can support better thinking, stronger leadership, improved creativity and greater organizational efficiency.
Through Avant Garde, Maynor continues to connect Belizean audiences with international experts while creating opportunities for local professionals, entrepreneurs and organizations to participate in the global AI conversation.
Avant Garde combines extensive experience in digital marketing, tourism, communications, technology, and professional development. Our approach is practical rather than overly technical, tailored to the Belizean and Caribbean context, focused on real workplace applications, designed for participants with varying levels of digital experience, supported by both local and international expertise, and grounded in responsible, human-centred AI adoption.
Rather than simply demonstrating AI platforms, we help organizations identify where artificial intelligence can create meaningful value by aligning it with their people, processes, and long-term strategic objectives.
