Bio
Kaili Li
Gustavo mentored me for a few years now! He inspired me with his entrepreneurial mindset. He worked with me on some entrepreneurial projects and I appreciated his insights and expertise. He is also an expert in negotiation and leadership and I benefit a lot from his mentorship. I will continue to work with him to achieve my passion in my career path. I want to thank him forever for the wisdom and vision he taught me! I also learned a lot about MIT and their management style.

I met Gustavo when he was coordinating the AI-Jumpstart program funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I was impressed by his ability to not only explain the program and each project, but by his bringing together all the participants towards concrete goals allowing the successful launch of 20 projects that formed the first ever cohort of its kind. In particular, his ability to understand the needs of the companies, as well as those of the many Artificial Intelligence faculty experts from Northeastern, Boston University, and Tufts University. Gustavo’s background, advising in matters of innovation-centric businesses and start-ups, as well as his technical understanding of science and engineering domains, were evident during the meetings I had under the program. I hope to continue connecting with Gustavo and strongly recommend him to anyone looking for his talents.

I’ve known Gustavo since his days at Passport Systems. Gustavo is an experienced international business development professional who has worked and lived in different parts of the world. His areas of expertise are in the commercial markets as well as DoD and DHS, working with diverse technologies and applications of non-intrusive inspection and artificial intelligence. Most recently, I had the pleasure of interacting with him during his time at ALERT, a DHS Security Center of Excellence at Northeastern University. There, he promoted the Center’s research and interacted with the security industry. He kept industry parties informed of new developments or innovations in various security and detection fields. I highly recommend Gustavo for his industry knowledge, professionalism and relationship building skills.

Interfaced with industry and start-ups, faculty researchers at Northeastern, Boston University, Tufts University, and MASSTECH. Worked on the program outreach; faculty and applicants’ guidance; pairing and coordination of faculty with awarded companies; and supporting start-ups with advice throughout the process. It led to the launch of 20 projects. • SENTRY- a center of excellence for the protection of soft targets: Worked with ALERT’s director and team in the preparation of the Department of Homeland Security site visit to Northeastern. Chaired the Industrial Advisory Board segment- well received by DHS and the ALERT Director. The 10-year $30M proposal was awarded in November 2021. • Program Manager: For trace explosive detection, Air Cargo synthetic X-ray scanner data, and Customs and Border Protection security and inspection projects with DHS S&T. Interfaced with government, contractors, and ALERT research community. Coordinated deliverables on a monthly basis on-time and in scope. • Business Development: Searched for industry and other partners. Interest in ALERT’s technologies and expertise came about with organizations like FedEx (vapor phase chemical detection), Detection Technologies (AI applied to X-ray detectors), Worcester Emergency Response groups (ALERT technologies with applications in emergency management).
