About

As Nestlé’s Head of IT & Digital for the Americas, I am excited to lead the charge in reinventing our business from end to end — placing people, data, analytics and technology at the heart of everything we do. I firmly believe that meaningful digital transformation begins and ends with our people. To achieve this vision, my incredible teams and I are on a mission to create compelling experiences for our consumers, customers and employees by leveraging powerful capabilities and emerging technologies to transform every part of our business — from manufacturing to human resources. We are embedding a technology-first mindset across the organization and leading with tech as the first solve for our business challenges to unlock new, enriching opportunities. And with the integration of AI and automation, we are empowering our people to be their most productive selves, fostering a workplace where everything they do is impactful, fulfilling and worth their time. I’ve had the privilege to advance my career at Nestlé and to be a part of driving our mission of unlocking the power of food to enhance the quality of life. Over the past 33 years, I have embraced this mission through diverse roles in information technology, supply chain, procurement, finance enterprise analytics, and digital. These experiences have reinforced my belief in placing people at the center of our efforts, driving innovation and collaboration for lasting impact. This commitment to innovation and collaboration extends to my passion in developing people and nurturing the next generation of leaders. By embracing our IT & Digital Americas Game Changer mindset, we further enable our people-centered approach and transform not only our systems but also our culture, paving the way for a future where digital capabilities serve as a competitive advantage.
