Why these capabilities belong together
A strategy needs people who can act on it. Content needs a customer journey and an operating owner. A workflow needs the right information and a way to judge whether it helps. We bring these questions together, while keeping each engagement grounded in a defined business need.
Dr. Jie Cheng
Automotive AI & Data Strategy
Dr. Jie Cheng brings more than 30 years of automotive AI and analytics experience to helping businesses make better decisions. At Ford Motor Company, he developed AI applications and quantitative decision tools for automotive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and business planning, and received the Henry Ford Technology Award. As a vice president at J.D. Power and Associates, he developed automotive analytics solutions for pricing and incentives, used-vehicle valuation and sales-channel optimization. These experiences underpin his approach to connecting AI with customer acquisition, sales performance and everyday operations. He later served as Chief Analytics Officer at Acxiom and ADARA and founded Gausscode, extending his work in customer intelligence and practical AI applications in the United States and China. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan, with a focus on artificial intelligence and data mining.
Hands-on capability building
Our coaching approach draws on internal experience at QIYU: employees in HR, finance, key-account management and customer support created work-related automation tools with AI training and coaching despite having no prior coding experience. This is a source of learning for the method—not a claim of measured results in U.S. dealerships.
Global experience, applied with local judgment
Experience from another market can suggest a useful question. It does not establish that the same channel, tool or operating model will work in your dealer group. We examine the people, systems and market conditions before recommending an application.
Working with technology partners
Advice and execution are scoped around the customer need. Relevant technology partners may be involved, with responsibilities, access and commercial relationships made clear for the engagement. Prior employers, industry contacts and company affiliations are not interchangeable with current AINERGY partnerships.
