My given name is Dorine Rivers, but I am known as “River” to my friends. I literally grew up on North and South American rivers rafting wild whitewater rapids, basking in the sun, and sleeping under a canopy of brilliant constellations. I transferred by osmosis my enthusiasm for the outdoors to my five children (all successful in their own right now) and my 20 grandchildren.

I am the Founder & CEO of Savantz AI, an Arizona-based corporation creating and providing innovative and boredom-free solutions for businesses, entrepreneurs, educators, authors, and others who want to enlighten and enrich their audiences with dazzling videos they’ll remember. My entrepreneurial expertise is in creative vision and execution, strategic planning, and identifying growth opportunities that will transform how we generate visual materials and bring content to life.

Over my multi-faceted career, I have successfully supported corporate innovations, expansions, and M&A exits in education, life/health sciences, medical devices, software technology, and other industries.

I have a PhD in Business Management and Human & Organizational Systems, a Master’s in Organizational Behavior, a Project Management Professional Certification (PMP), and Investment Banking and General Contractor licenses. I am an adventure seeker, setting and achieving goals to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro, biking RAGBRAI, obtaining a pilot’s license, a P.A.D.I. Divemaster certification, and other thrilling quests.

My every-day motto for living is:

Grit Knows No Limits.
