From the Forge to Fortune 500 — and Back to the Community

Luis Alejandro Mesen, Founder of Sage AI

My grandfather was a blacksmith in Costa Rica — a man who made his living with his hands, his skill, and his reputation in the community. My father came to this country and worked an office job during the day and sold used cars on the side to keep the family moving forward. I'm first-generation.

I got into data and AI, and I've spent my career helping some of the biggest companies in the world use these tools — United Airlines, Airbus, Continental Airlines, The Friedkin Group. Fortune 500 companies with thousands of technicians, dispatchers, and frontline crews. I helped executives figure out how to use AI to dispatch mechanics, schedule maintenance, and coordinate operations across global networks.

But I kept thinking: why does a billion-dollar airline get AI to optimize how their technicians get dispatched, and the HVAC shop down the street — whose dispatcher is solving the exact same problem — gets nothing?

That's why Sage AI exists. The same tools. Your shop. Your language. Your budget.

Your Problems. Solved at Scale. Now Solved for You.

I've spent over a decade solving your exact problems — at a much bigger scale. Now let me solve them for you.

Why "Sage"?

Sage AI is named after the founder's daughter. She's a reminder of why this work matters — building something that serves the community, that makes real life better for real people, and that she'll be proud of when she's old enough to understand it.
