Instructor Details

Georgi Smarts

12 years leading IT, data and project initiatives at HP (later Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and VMware (later Broadcom). 400K+ learners. 57 courses. 89K+ reviews.

I’m Georgi. For over a decade I worked for some of the world’s largest technology companies, delivering international IT and data programs, leading cross-functional teams, and using the same project management, data and AI tools that employers now expect professionals to know.

Today I teach those skills to people who want to move their careers forward. Everything in my courses comes from real enterprise work, not theory.

Who my courses are for

You want to grow in your current role. You’re aiming for a promotion, a bigger scope, or a seat at the table where decisions are made. I’ll teach you the skills that make you the person your team relies on.

You want to change careers. You’re moving into data or an AI-focused role, maybe from a completely different field. I’ll give you a clear path, the practical skills employers look for, and the confidence to talk about them in an interview.


What I teach

AI for professionals. Use AI tools to work faster, plan better and make sharper decisions. This is fast becoming a baseline expectation in every role, and an advantage for those who learn it early.

Die Lehrkraft ist gut verständlich und die Inhalte gut aufbereitet. An einigen Stellen könnte ich mir eine Straffung vorstellen, aber der Makel ist geringfügig. Das KI Rollenspiel ist seltsam und frustrierend.

By Miray Salman on 1/5/2026

This is a really good course. It definitely exceeds the foundational level, providing several graphics, real-life cases, and training. The instructor also drops a lot of knowlegde that only experienced experts can share while explaining the content.

By Gajendra Singh Tomar on 12/4/2025

Trainer has explained the concepts very well, using examples. Examples connected with the context of the content , which helps trainee to visualize use case and solution. At times it also ignites creative & innovative thoughts. Well done !

By Tina Pai on 4/29/2025

first several sections especially slides were very boring and small text. A decent high level overview, but too high level. Wish there were examples of data products, documentation templates, data security policy templates, governance process templates

By Lars Andreas Moltu on 9/16/2024

This course provides a clear and well-structured introduction to the concept of Data Mesh, making it perfect for those new to the domain. The lecturer, George Smarts, presents the material in a highly digestible manner, breaking down complex ideas into manageable parts that are easy to follow and understand.

By Danny Mwiinga on 2/13/2024

Good introduction, covers the basics really well. Haven't seen all the use-cases at the end of the course but the Zalanda use-case video on Youtube is not really useful because it does not go into the details of how they implemented a data mesh, it simply talks to an approach that anyone can take. Was interested in hearing about the cultural changes that they had to go through to implement data mesh, how long it took and what fundamentally changed about their organization when they got to the end of their journey etc.

By Tarun Nahar on 11/30/2023

I liked the course, its crisp ,to the point and delivers as mentioned in course outline and introduction what data mesh is all about. This course has really helped me to lay solid understanding and foundation of data mesh.

By Rodrigo Espinoza Aguayo on 9/10/2023

I loved this course, I already have experience working as part of a Data Mesh Enabler team, and taking this course has helped me a lot to reflect on the concepts that I have already applied in practice without having fully known the theory, I think it is very easy to follow and all terms are clearly explained even for non english native people. Thank you so much!

By Dr. Robert Neumann on 8/25/2023

Very good course, paced moderately so you can follow it easily even if you are a complete beginner. Only one point of criticism: The author states that measuring the benefit or worth of your Data Mesh work is very important but give not even a single example or hint at how such a measurement could be done. Having said that, it is a good course and well-spend time!

By Anonymized User on 6/12/2023

This course is more than what the Course title suggests, Thank you George for your effort in making this course. Topics are very well structured and explained in simple terms to onboard the beginners. Got very good insight in to the topic, key principles and best practices etc.
