Founder & Credentials
Christina Dills is the Founder & CEO of Smart Edge Technologies, an AI transformation consultancy that implements Claude for Business through the proprietary SEED Method™ for local SMBs and nonprofits. She started in tech at 20, spent 13+ years at Microsoft Latin America, and has been implementing AI since 2018.
The track record
Age 20 · The start
Twenty-plus years helping organizations modernize: first through digital transformation, now through agentic AI. Not by handing over software and walking away — by redesigning how they operate.
13+ years · Microsoft Latin America
Oversaw 400+ OEM partner relationships across distribution, multinational, and reseller channels. That experience shaped the belief everything since is built on: technology alone doesn’t transform organizations — the systems built around it do.
2018 · Smart Edge Technologies
An AI transformation consultancy giving SMBs and nonprofits the operational firepower of an enterprise, without the overhead. Today: an Anthropic Claude implementation partner whose latest deployment measured a 50%+ productivity gain in week one at a 181-employee nonprofit.
2022 · Collective Circularity
Winner of the SBDC Best Export Small Business Award. The operational lessons became SortIQ: AI vision on smart glasses for textile recovery at scale, built for SB 707 compliance.
Now · Tampa Bay, Florida
Smart Edge, SortIQ, and DevClaw — plus speaking on AI adoption for SMBs, agentic systems architecture, and training domain experts to run AI, not just use it.
