RAÚLMERMANS

Portrait of Raúl Mermans

I work at the intersection of AI systems, brand strategy, and product execution — building tools and workflows that are technically structured, commercially useful, and culturally aware.

About

A short version
of the story.

My work sits between AI systems, product logic, and brand intelligence. The creative side is not a separate lane; it is the taste and adoption layer around the tools.

Business school gave me the vocabulary for brand, growth, and customer behavior. Code and AI gave me the ability to turn that thinking into interfaces, automations, and productized workflows.

At Primor, I work close to CRM, lifecycle execution, luxury partners, and internal AI adoption. Independently, I build applied AI systems for reporting, audits, prospect intelligence, creative operations, and internal tools.

The multicultural and visual side still matters: it helps me read tone, context, trust, and taste. That is useful when an AI workflow has to be adopted by real people, not just pass a demo.

Trajectory so far.

Five years moving between brand, technology, and the operational tissue that connects them, from a marketing degree in Madrid to building agentic systems for live cultural infrastructure.
