Turning Disruption Into Sustainable Growth

I’ve spent the past 20+ years living at the intersection of technology, strategy, and transformation. From my time as Deputy CIO at Orange and Director of Smart Cities Strategy, I’ve learned that every disruption is also an invitation — to rethink, to redesign, and to grow.

That’s why I founded Caspera-Lab: a space where I help Telcos, Smart Cities, and SMEs cut through complexity and build ecosystems ready for the future.

Today, as President of the CCE Digital/AI/Tech Group, I work with global leaders to make digital innovation accessible, responsible, and impactful.

For me, it’s not just about technology — it’s about people, trust, and creating growth that lasts.

Four Decades of Turning Change Into Opportunity

I began my career in the 1980s, when IT meant mainframes and cables — and I’ve been riding every transformation wave since.

From leading Orange’s African subsidiaries through major digital shifts (2005–2020) to creating a digital maturity measurement tool now used to guide strategic decisions, my work has always focused on helping businesses see clearly, act fast, and grow stronger.

I’ve worked in 30+ countries across three continents, building expertise in customer experience, fraud management, revenue assurance, and financial efficiency — with a special focus on emerging markets where the right decision can leapfrog years of progress.

For me, technology is never just about systems — it’s about people, trust, and the courage to reinvent.

I turn complexity into concrete opportunities.”

With 30+ years driving technology and international sales, I’ve been at the heart of innovation — from shaping the building blocks of today’s AI-powered smartphones at Philips, to launching Internet TV for millions across Southeast Asia at Singtel, and advising global telcos on digital strategy at Arthur D. Little. I’ve also co-founded startups, bringing bold mobile and collaborative solutions to market.

What I bring to Caspera-Lab: a rare mix of deep technology expertise, global business experience, and a collaborative mindset. I help clients anticipate disruption, make confident decisions, and turn strategy into real results — fast.

At Caspera Lab, I bring the “strategic investigator” lens — asking the questions that unlock clarity and movement when things feel stuck.
I work on framing missions, shaping offers, and aligning leadership, always with a human-first approach.

🎯 What I add: turning vision into focus, connecting silos into living networks, and giving leaders the posture to move with confidence.
🔍 My style: a mix of curiosity, sharpness, and a touch of playfulness — because serious change doesn’t have to be heavy.
🎤 And sometimes, you’ll find me on stage, speaking about leadership in transition and the art of creating real momentum.
