Top SchoolAaron West is a strategic operator and technology-focused leader with 11+ years of experience scaling operations, analytics, and AI-enabled workflows across global organizations. As Head of Expedition at GoWest Collective he now directs program management for AI observation systems and maps commercial roadmaps that blend VLMs, DeepStream, camera tech, and predictive analytics.

He has repeatedly turned fragmented systems into resilient platforms, scaling businesses from startup to enterprise and leading cross-functional teams through M&A and divestiture.

Colleagues rely on him to translate ambiguity into clear roadmaps that prioritize measurable ROI and operational leverage.
