About

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. With over 17 years at Keyrus and more than two decades in global technology leadership, I’ve built a career at the intersection of business strategy, innovation, and execution. At Keyrus, I’ve had the privilege of driving growth across several continents. I founded and led the development of Keyrus Digital, first in Europe, then expanding into Asia and the Middle East, establishing it as a global digital innovation network within the group. Today, as CEO for the Americas, I oversee the unification of our Latin American and North American operations under a single strategic vision — focused on scaling a high-growth, high-impact organization that helps clients harness data to make smarter decisions, create new business models, and drive sustainable value. What drives me Transforming organizations through data intelligence, cloud, and AI — not as buzzwords, but as levers of competitive differentiation. I’m passionate about bridging cultures, capabilities, and mindsets to unlock potential across markets. How I lead - Build high-performance teams with entrepreneurial autonomy - Drive cross-regional synergies and scalable delivery models - Cultivate long-term client partnerships rooted in trust and shared innovation - Work closely with leading technology partners — Salesforce, Microsoft, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, and others — to translate complex technological shifts into pragmatic business value - Lead multiple M&A integrations of data and digital companies across the Americas, aligning talent, culture, and capabilities to accelerate growth and strengthen market presence Focus areas Data & AI Strategy | Cloud Transformation | Digital Experience | Nearshore Delivery | M&A Integration | Leadership Development Based in New York, French by origin, global by mindset — I thrive on connecting people, data, and ideas across borders to shape the next era of intelligent business. Having lived in Brazil and personally opened Keyrus operations in Colombia and Mexico, I bring a deep understanding of the Americas’ diverse markets and cultures — turning regional presence into strategic advantage.
