AI implementation consulting & upskilling for small-medium businesses and educational institutions — from a 30-year education veteran who helped write the national playbook.

The workplace is changing faster than ever. Small businesses that don't upskill their workforce risk falling behind competitors who do. Education institutions face mounting pressure to prepare students and staff for an AI-powered world. The question isn't whether to adapt — it's how to do it well.
That's where I come in. I'm Vera Cubero, founder of Cubero Consulting and a 30-year veteran of public education with deep experience at the school, district, and state levels. Most recently, I led North Carolina's AI implementation efforts and served as the primary architect of the state's AI Guidelines — recognized nationally as among the best in the country by leaders like Sal Khan (Khan Academy), Pat Youngpradit (Code.org), and Amanda Bickerstaff (AI for Education).
I believe AI has the power to either widen gaps or transform learning and work for every person. That's why I help educators, schools, policymakers, and business leaders navigate AI with a clear strategy tailored to their context — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
