I’m incredibly honored to be named a 2025 Top Consultant by Consulting Magazine in the Technology Innovator category.

This recognition is not just about a single moment—it reflects years of focus at the intersection of intelligent systems, data, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines. From serving as a Chief Digital, Data, Marketing, and Innovation Officer to leading AI transformation initiatives with Ernst & Young, my mission has always been clear: to simplify the complex and translate emerging technologies into actionable growth strategies.

Innovation today means more than keeping pace. It means leading responsibly. Whether guiding organizations through the shift to agentic AI, reimagining operating models, or scaling AI governance, I’m inspired daily by the opportunity to shape what’s next.

Thank you for my wife and family for their constant support. To the countless EY team members I work with daily, clients, and collaborators who’ve shared this journey—thank you. This award is a reflection of shared vision, execution, and a relentless curiosity for what’s possible.

Onward.
