Senior Corporate Research Manager
He’s using AI to put customer intelligence directly into the hands of the people who can act on it.
What customers say can reveal what’s really happening, but understanding it at scale takes time. Within Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA), an RB Global company, Alex saw an opportunity to give people across the business a faster way to find the answers themselves.
Alex’s goal is simple: make customer intelligence self-service. AI now helps teams surface themes, summarize feedback, and understand what customers are experiencing without waiting on CX to interpret it for them.
Regional leaders used to come to Alex asking, “Why are we seeing this?” Now they can explore the drivers themselves. Instead of diagnosing the problem, they can focus on strategy, priorities, and what needs to happen next.

| 贵谤辞尘… | 罢辞… |
|---|---|
| Relying on the CX team to explain the why | Giving teams AI-powered ways to find it themselves |
| Manually reading through volumes of comments | Surfacing patterns and themes faster |
| Responding with slow, template-heavy workflows | Giving agents a faster, on-brand starting point |
| Spending hours defining what to look for | Using AI to identify and validate what deserves attention in minutes |
Don’t adopt AI because it’s available. Start with a business priority, then determine where AI can make the work faster, easier or more effective.
Test different AI approaches against the same problem. Compare the quality and consistency of the results, then start small and scale what proves useful.
Use AI to remove manual work, speed understanding and help people move faster. If it adds complexity without improving what happens next, it’s probably the wrong use case.
Look for the manual work consuming time that could be spent on strategy, customers, or solving bigger problems. That’s where Alex sees some of the greatest opportunity.
