Building EL Castello Business Advisors to provide AI and digital transformation consultancy while scaling ClickRoam.
Intro
I'm Lorenzo Lacey, the Principal Owner of EL Castello Business Advisors and the Founder of ClickRoam. My career has been defined by a decade of leadership at AstraZeneca, where I served as the Global Digital Planning Director for Oncology and led large-scale digital transformations across dozens of markets. Today, I focus on bridging the gap between complex technical infrastructure—like Agentic AI and Edge computing—and real-world business impact. I'm a firm believer in a 'Silo-Free' philosophy, where strategy, technology, and marketing merge into a unified Growth Architecture. Whether I'm building AI-enabled marketplaces like ClickRoam or helping organizations automate autonomous workflows, I'm passionate about proof of work and creating systems that actually execute. I'm always looking to connect with fellow builders and leaders in the travel tech and digital health spaces to explore how we can orchestrate better resources and results.

Opinions
- Separating strategy, tech, and marketing stalls innovation; they must merge into 'Growth Architecture'.
- AI is not just a chatbot, but a workflow engine and strategic sounding board.
- Prioritize mental health and well-being, even if it means leaving prosperous situations.
- Value 'proof of work' and portfolios over traditional degrees or theoretical knowledge.
