AI Visibility Strategist • Global Tourism Executive • AI Speaker
Francia Haces is the Founder & CAIO of Hacestek International and a former global marketing executive with 20+ years leading strategy across tourism, hospitality, and travel-tech. She helps leaders understand how AI influences what people notice, trust, and choose, often before they realize a decision is happening.
Her work focuses on helping brands and leaders show up clearly and consistently as AI plays a growing role in shaping visibility and choice. She helps organizations clarify who they are and how they show up, so they are easier for people, and AI, to understand and trust as AI plays a bigger role in decisions.
AI has changed how travelers form intent, evaluate credibility, and make decisions long before a search begins.
This keynote explains how AI interprets identity, why strong travel brands are still being misread, and which visibility and identity signals determine who gets recognized, trusted, and chosen in AI-driven environments.
AI now interprets leadership identity long before people do.
This keynote shows how modern AI systems read confidence, credibility, tone, and presence, and how these identity signals shape visibility and opportunity for women in travel, hospitality, and executive leadership roles.
AI no longer supports decisions, it initiates them.
This keynote explains how AI systems assess leaders, shape organizational judgments, and influence outcomes in strategy, governance, hiring, partnerships, and stakeholder trust.
