Today we’d like to introduce you to Mayet Banos.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I always knew I was going to be an entrepreneur. It’s in my family. It’s in my blood. From my first office job at 15 to my first business plan just a few years later, I knew I wanted to build something for myself.
Something that changed people’s lives.
I took some intentional detours in health, fintech, and management, where I cultivated the unique skills that would lead me to where I am now. I enjoyed leading the first modern hybrid teams, helped train the first AI models in finance, and contributed to the development of tech products used worldwide.
The work has always been gratifying, and of course I would be lying if I said making an impact at such a large scale is anything short of exhilarating. But something always pulled at me to pour into the local pool of brilliant professionals and businesses that give this city a soul. I find myself lucky to have found my calling before turning 25. My company, Visions Creative Ventures Studio (VCVS) is fueled by passion, vision, and 11+ years of experience helping visionaries transmute ideas into successful business operations. I consider myself lucky to have worked with founders in all industries before finally finding my role as a visionary advisor and systems architect for service professionals in life services and wellbeing.
My approach is a is a result of every boardroom I sat in, every career detour, and every business I’ve helped launch, cemented in my living dream of making my world better by impacting those around me. I bridge the gap by funneling the diverse perspectives and methodologies I have been exposed to in my corporate practice to the founders of this community.
Today, I spend my time consulting for purpose-driven enterprises to humanize their AI products, planning community networking experiences, eating good food and designing the architecture for my client’s businesses so that it runs without them being glued to their desk, so they can focus on making more people’s lives better.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No road worth taking is ever truly smooth. Adversity has been a constant factor fueling me to become the professional I am today.
Being a young woman in business comes with a caveat, and having cultivated corporate expertise at a young age, I am often spending valuable time proving this expertise when I could be making real impact. As an advisor, I have learned to channel this into a sort of filter to identify the partnerships that are worth pursuing and the visionaries worth pouring into.
I think it is safe to say that the speed of the AI evolution has thrown professionals in tech and business development through a loop, and I am no exception. The constant need to adapt to new developments is admittedly overwhelming, but I like to think of these shifts as opportunities to adapt and evolve by turning roadblocks into solutions.
The challenge became knowing exactly what to leverage and how, once ability and education alone were no longer differentiators. It was that same pressure that drove me to develop Aligned Brand and AI Integration. A human-centric approach to AI integration focused on one core outcome: improving quality of life through the strategic integration of technology and communication.
The thing about adversity, it forces you to get clarity on what you are here to do and why you are doing it. And for me, it is a contestant motivator.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Visions Creative Ventures is my answer to a gap I kept seeing everywhere I went.
I spent over a decade in rooms where the biggest business decisions were being made. Enterprise AI strategy. Brand development at scale. Systems that ran organizations and governments. And every time I stepped outside of those rooms, I saw brilliant, visionary people building businesses that change lives, without access to any of it.
That is what Visions Creative Ventures exists to close.
I am a Brand Specialist and AI Advisor, and I specialize in helping service professionals, real estate agents, and founders get clear on who they are, build systems that actually reflect that, and implement technology that fits the way they work and the way they serve. I call this Aligned Brand and AI. It is my proprietary framework and the foundation of everything I do here. The core idea is simple: Your brand and your AI should feel like the best version of you running on autopilot. Not a system you are fighting. Not a collection of tools that flatten everything that makes you distinctive. A brand and operation powered by AI that is authentically yours.
What sets me apart is the bridge. Through leading research and intelligence firms I contribute to AI strategy and product development for Fortune-level organizations. That work is confidential by design. The level of access it requires and the caliber of problems I have been asked to solve is a privilege I do not take lightly. I take everything I learn in those rooms and bring it directly to the visionaries in my community who deserve that same strategic clarity and have simply never had access to it. That is the bridge between the boardroom and the block. And building it is the work I am most called to do.
But if you ask me what I am most proud of, it is not the framework. It is not the enterprise work. It is this: I have built a business that serves as the ultimate resource and trusted strategic partner to people who are genuinely making the world better. Healers. Builders. Connectors. People who pour everything into their clients and their communities and deserve a business infrastructure that pours back into them.
That is who I show up for every single day.
If you are a visionary who is excellent at what you do and exhausted by the business of running it, Visions Creative Ventures was built for you. We get you clear, get you structured, and get your business to a place where it grows with you instead of depending entirely on you.
That is what we do here.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I was always a curious child, wanting to understand the world around me, wanting to improve it and just belong in it. I was a visionary from the start. I watched my parents build their visions with sweat and tears and as cliche as it sounds, it inspired me. it gave me drive and discipline.
I loved making art. interior design left me breathless, and science took me down rabbit holes I spent days inside of. But I was never satisfied with what was out there… I always found a way to improve it. And it kept me up at night, involuntarily coming up with answers to problems that weren’t even in my wheelhouse. It was not until I was older that I recognized this as vision. As strategy. As the very thing that set me apart from the rest.
I was the child that spent hours with her nose buried in a book trying to make sense of the entire concept in the first 30 pages. Tracing the same drawing over and over until it was a perfect copy of what I saw in my head. I always saw what others could not, and I knew I could make it better. That was my power. But it also made me lonely. I was also the one who fought for the least popular opinion because it had basis for truth. the one who challenged school regulations and state rulings alike because one more voice might make a change. And eventually, the one who wanted to make a change in the world and saw no clear way to do it, so she created one.
In a way, who I am now is not much different than that little girl at heart.
