Meet Cory Holmes
I’m Cory Holmes, an AI Expert and Product Manager at Saint Louis University, where I serve as the go-to resource for implementing and using AI responsibly across the university.
My work supports SLU’s faculty, staff, and leadership in understanding how AI tools can enhance teaching, research, and operations — while maintaining a strong focus on ethics, data governance, transparency, and responsible innovation.
With 13+ years of experience in application development, data governance, product management, and cloud computing, I’ve built my career around one mission:
making AI accessible, responsible, and transformative for both organizations and individuals.
Outside the university, I advise businesses and teams on AI strategy, speak at events like STL Startup Week, and build learning experiences that help people stay ahead in an AI-first world.
About AI Product Careers
AI Product Careers is the education platform I built to solve a major problem:
Most people who want to break into AI Product Management struggle to get real experience, not just theory.
This program changes that.
AI Product Careers combines expert-led video lessons with a hands-on simulation, giving learners the chance to:
-
Step into the role of an Associate Product Manager
-
Build two complete AI products
-
Create a portfolio that demonstrates real product thinking
-
Develop an AI product they can launch or sell, not just display
The platform is built for:
-
Aspiring Product Managers who need practical experience
-
Career Switchers ready to move into AI roles
-
Students and Graduates looking to stand out in a competitive job market
-
Entrepreneurs who want to build AI-powered ideas that can go to market
Every lesson and scenario is designed to give learners not only knowledge, but confidence — the kind that comes from actually doing the work of an AI Product Manager.
My View on the Future of Education
Education is undergoing a transformation — and AI is accelerating the shift.
But technology alone won’t define the future.
How we teach and learn with AI will.
I believe the next era of education will be:
Experiential — learners won’t just watch; they’ll simulate, build, and create.
AI-supported — personalized, adaptive learning powered by responsible AI agents.
Ethical and intentional — grounded in transparency, governance, and student protection.
Career-focused — built around real-world skill development, not memorization.
AI Product Careers reflects that belief:
Learning that feels real.
Work that feels meaningful.
Education that builds actual outcomes — like real products and real opportunities.
