Company: Autonomous Alliance, Inc.

As business development and client success manager at Autonomous Alliance, Marta Santiago owns commercial strategy and the sales cycle for 10-plus member companies spanning AI, robotics, and autonomous retail.
She also leads U.S. go-to-market for an AI concierge/kiosk platform and is responsible for turning early-stage technology into deployments customers actually encounter.

Since joining Autonomous Alliance in 2025, her most significant work has focused even more directly on customer experience. Santiago led the coordination to bring EZRetail's automated kiosks and Tended Bar's hospitality concept together with Biscuit.ai's conversational AI sales platform.

What sets Santiago apart is her combination of a brand management background and hands-on deep-tech commercialization work.

These are just a few reasons we chose Marta Santiago as one of Connect Media's Top Women in Retail Technology Award winners. Connect Media's Top Women in Retail Technology Awards recognize women driving retail technology innovations.
