Stephan Samouilhan — CEO
I help organizations across the Americas unlock the power of data, AI, and digital transformation — combining strategic vision, technology partnerships, and hands-on leadership to deliver measurable business impact. As CEO of Keyrus Americas, I lead a 1,000-person team across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil — guiding enterprises through their most complex digital, data, and AI transformations.
