AI is changing what's possible.
We build what comes next.

Built from the inside out.

For most of her career, Anne Meraz sat at the center of how large organizations make decisions with AI. At Verizon, she owned the strategy and roadmap of an AI/ML decisioning platform that powered digital advertising across millions of customers. At Toyota, she architected a real-time big data platform from the ground up — one that gave executives live visibility into a supply chain of half a million parts.

She loved the work — and it gave her a front-row seat to what AI can do when it meets a real problem. But the more she built, the more two things became clear. First: AI was advancing faster than most people realized, quietly making solvable what had always been too slow, too expensive, or too complex to tackle. Second: the problems worth solving weren't only found inside large organizations — they existed in small businesses, in local institutions, in entire industries that had never had access to tools like this. For the first time, the technology was capable enough, and accessible enough, that an entrepreneur could actually go build there.

That realization became Manna Works.
