Welcome

As Chair of the Digital Growth Collective, I bring together business leaders, technology experts, and investors to unlock new value across five key industries. Onalytica’s analysts named me one of the top 10 global thought leaders in digital transformation.
The Digital Growth Collective spans information technology, healthcare, financial services, energy, and manufacturing sectors. With global expertise, our community fosters innovation and growth in an ever-evolving economic landscape. Through purposeful collaboration, we identify emerging best practices and cross-industry innovations – empowering partners in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to seize tomorrow’s business opportunities today.
To enable growth and create sustainable value for people, organizations, and the environment.
