about:
As Partner in Business Restructuring, Strategy and M&A within Monitor Deloitte I focus myself on turnarounds (distressed companies), transformations (underperforming companies) and companies that have complex and persistent strategic questions and challenges. And this from a strategic, financial and operational perspective.  With over 20 years of experience in turnarounds, transformations and strategy as a management consultant and corporate executive,  I guid my customers, as a trusted advisor and sparring partner, through an intense process that realigns both economic, strategic, operational and legal interests. I work with management, executive committees, boards of directors, shareholders, investors, lawyers, and other advisors to coordinate a viable and comprehensive business plan, a sound financing structure, and the consensual resolution of interests. I assist negotiations by analysing a company's financial, strategic and operational picture in terms of the strategic playing field (‘where to play and how to win’), asset values, cash flows, the company's future plans and projections. My intervention and assistance aims at finding a solution and rebuilding the confidence of all stakeholders.

As the CEO of the Agidens group I was very much focused on leadership, strategy, innovation, sales & marketing and, together with the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, lead the company into the future.  I am a profound believer of winning teams.  Individuals can have excellent or even exceptional skills and competencies, but what makes a company a winner is the symbiosis and magic that happens when people start working and creating together.

headline: Senior Design Researcher, Tech Transformations, McKinsey and Company | UPenn Alum

about:
I’m a mixed-methods industry researcher focused on how humans and advanced technologies work together in real, high-stakes environments.

My work sits at the intersection of behavioral science, user research, and enterprise technology transformation. I study where complex systems - interactions between people, processes, products, and platforms - fail in practice, not only due to technical limitations, but also because of human error, misaligned incentives, and poorly designed decision pathways.

My research insights inform strategic decisions that shape operating models, guide technology investments, and embed governance and accountability into system design.

In the era of generative AI and autonomous agents, I re-engineer human–machine interaction to deliver measurable gains in speed, accuracy, and transparency - resulting in faster adoption, stronger trust, and more resilient operations.

I’m particularly interested in advancing conversations on the evolution of user research in the age of GenAI and applying systems thinking to the design of Multi-Agent Systems.

headline: Human-Centered AI Transformation & Strategy Execution | Leadership, Learning, & Behavior Change | Advisor to CXOs on Enterprise Growth & Performance

about:
We are living through some of the most opportunity-rich and fear-provoking times of our lives.

AI is already reshaping the nature of work, and we are only at the beginning of the transformative change that awaits.

But as powerful as this new technology is, the only force more adaptive, creative, and resilient is human capability.

For more than twenty years, I’ve partnered with CEOs and senior executives across 30+ countries to inspire and equip people at all levels with the mindsets, skills, and behaviors required to deliver sustained performance.

Every organization starts from a different place, and the work is always about meeting people where they are today so they can lead, work, and perform better tomorrow.

Today my work at EY focuses on building the Human Capability & Performance System that helps organizations turn their AI-era strategy into tangible results.

I'm fortunate to work alongside colleagues who are curious, determined, and deeply committed to helping clients move from idea to experiment to execution.

We focus on three interrelated capabilities:

1) Future‑Ready Leadership
2) AI Literacy & Fluency
3) Behavior Change at Scale

My belief is simple: no organization --and no competitor -has this moment fully figured out.  The old playbook won't work.

What matters now is the willingness to learn quickly, stay open to new possibilities, and take action day after day.

And I've seen firsthand what becomes possible when leaders do exactly that.

about:
Based in Washington, DC I am a partner of EY and the leader of EY Americas Tax Technology and Transformation practice. Tax Technology and Transformation is a team of transformation strategists and technology professionals dedicated to helping organizations digitally transform their tax and finance function and realize long term value.

I have been a partner in Tax since 2008. I've been a partner with EY Americas Tax Technology and Transformation team since 2018. I work closely with our EY Advanced Technology Tax Lab. I was the EY Americas Tax Technology and Data Analytics Leader from 2012 – 2017. I helped that group grow from 30 people to over 350 across the Americas. During this time, I worked with EY’s global leadership team to create the Tax Technology and Transformation (TTT) group.  A group of more than 1,500 tax technology and performance improvement professionals that help organizations to redefine their tax functions and drive transformation for the digital age.

I am passionate about emerging technologies, problem solving and the human element of the digital age.  In addition to building focused tax technology teams, I have also helped design curriculum and learning opportunities to improve the technology skills of our core tax professionals to help them evolve their skills to meet the demands of the digital age.  I worked with a global team on the development and launch of EY Badges a program that will enable people to invest in their own careers by earning digital credentials in skills that differentiate them in the market.  I have been involved with the newly launched Day One Ready program, which prepares students for today’s real business world and connects them to potential internship opportunities.

Historically, tax hasn’t had a seat at the table when data strategies are designed. They’re involved after the fact, and by that stage it’s too late. The consequences? Tax teams are forced to reconstruct context under pressure, acting like “archaeologists” as they piece together incomplete data – leading to rework, audit burden and revisited positions long after the fact.
