About

I am a seasoned Data & AI Strategy senior manager consultant, with over 15 years of rich experience spanning diverse sectors such as retail, banking, telecommunications, and energy, collaborating both with multinationals and local references. In my current role, I lead collaborations that guide organizations on their journey to become truly data-driven, enabling them to achieve their business goals by leveraging data and AI. My expertise lies in the definition and implementation of: - The Data, Analytics and AI strategy - A solid operating model (roles, processes, organization) - The data governance and management approach - Value identification and realization mechanisms - Change management and data culture programs Previously, my professional journey began with a decade-long focus on business strategy within the telecommunications sector. During this time, I played pivotal roles in optimizing distribution channels, developing digital services such as smart home and cloud gaming, and driving business intelligence initiatives. Learning from this journey, I have become skilled at translating complex organizational scenarios into actionable operating structures and executable plans. I firmly believe that the key to succeed in such digital transformation programs lies on placing people at the core and bringing in creativity into the approach to meet the unique needs of each organization. As we stand at the dawn of the AI revolution, these transformations are inevitable. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to make them a reality.
