Dara Afraz
Senior Product Manager, Industrial AI — industrial, defense, and health operations
I am a Senior Product Manager at BeyondAI, where I lead the Industrial AI track and own Operations Advisor from roadmap through customer rollout. I guide its evolution toward AI-first workflows, working with executive and commercial leadership and bringing engineering, data science, domain, and global teams together around a shared roadmap.
My focus is making sure the product scales across teams and industrial sites without losing the consistency, explainability, or grounding in operational realities that people need to trust its recommendations and the business needs to see a return.
I bring more than a decade of product development and R&D experience across industrial, defense, and healthcare systems. Before BeyondAI, I worked at Insight Learning Technology in partnership with UCLA’s Human Perception Lab, where I owned the product vision and helped build a no-code Department of Defense training platform while supporting the company’s expansion from math learning apps into medical education SaaS.
