About the Founders
Our work begins with understanding the whole picture: people, context, and consequence before shaping strategy.
Having worked in different industries over the past decade, Adriana and Bevin share a passion for free independent thought. To that end, BiA consulting aims to get to the bottom of issues to attain a holistic view, to then create well-informed, balanced, strong, and sustainable strategies and outcomes. As a result, we emphasize the importance of the human element in a time when there’s increasing reliance on Ai. While we use the power of Ai as a tool, we have seen and recognize the limitations and issues created by models that become overly-reliant on it. We aim to consciously strike a balance, prioritizing the human element.

Adriana
Co-Founder & Principal
Adriana spent the past decade in the corporate world, working for tech giants Microsoft and Amazon. While there, she held many roles, including in the areas of global security, risk management, business intelligence, and data analytics. In her various positions, she ultimately focused on achieving well-informed decision-making to help find the best paths to attain specific goals, based on risks & tradeoffs and anchored on data.
