Andra Vaduva helps you decide what AI to fund, build, and use.

I’m Andra Vaduva, founder of SafeSpace, a New York–based AI Adoption Lab. I work with mid-market and enterprise CEOs, CIOs, and CFOs to decide what AI deserves funding, what to build, and how to get teams using it.

My daily work: mapping workflows, pressure-testing ROI, scoping projects against budgets, and building the case for leadership. For a healthcare company, we’re redesigning customer success operations—from onboarding to renewal risk—with a prioritized backlog and phased implementation plan.

I developed Microsoft’s AI for Managers learning pathway, reaching 70K+ learners through LinkedIn Learning, and taught AI in business at Brown University. Trained in human-centered design at MIT, I hold a master’s in statistics. I bring active client work into every session.
