Strategy Expert Contractor

Info-Tech Research Group Inc is an information technology services company which offers market research, analyst services, and world class operations.

When I was a kid, “Social” meant outgoing, the “Cloud” was an atmospheric phenomenon, and "Big Data" did not bully little data. Times have changed and my job is to turn that change into value. I have been in Consulting for most of my career; a great leader and a fun person to be around, if such a combination is at all possible. During my career, I have: - Led the strategy function of global telecommunications, insurance, and wealth management companies. - Led regional practices for top-tier consulting firms. - Served global Financial Services and Telecommunications companies, as well as large Public Sector institutions. I have been lucky to work in many countries (more than can possibly fit in this little box), and I speak four languages in addition to pretentious business jargon. My areas of expertise are: - Strategy and M&A - Digital Transformation - Artificial Intelligence - Enterprise Innovation - Data and Analytics - Managed Services/Outsourcing - Project Portfolio Management - Enterprise Application Implementation (ERP, CRM) I am also a frequent speaker and panelist at technology conferences and events: - Evanta CIO Executive Summit, Calgary: "Enterprise Innovation Models" - Info-Tech LIVE, Las Vegas: "Robotic Process Automation"​ - Ecole Supérieure des Affaires, Beirut: "Conseil en Junior Entreprise"​ - Spatial Co, Benchmarking Conference, Kuwait City: “The use of benchmarking in organizational diagnostics and strategy development” - Informa, Managed Services World, Berlin: "Calculating the ROI of Managed Services"​ - IQPC Managing Mobile Data, Vienna: "Mobile Data Offloading Costs and Benefits"​ - Rutberg & Co, Mobile Summit, London: “Mobile Innovation” - Informa, LTE MENA, Dubai: "LTE’s Return on Investment" - Rutberg & Co, Wireless Influencers, Carlsbad, CA: “Opportunities in the Mobile World: An Emerging Market Perspective” - GSMA CSO Group, Hong Kong: “Use of Hybrid Power systems in Mobile Networks”
