Busi­ness Facil­i­ta­tor

Con­tin­u­ous Improve­ment

Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence

Dig­i­tal Trans­for­ma­tion


Before approach­ing the IT world, I worked in the vet­eri­nary field for a few years, spe­cial­iz­ing in Ani­mal Pro­duc­tion: I was already involved in ana­lyz­ing data and find­ing con­nec­tions and pat­terns to opti­mize pro­duc­tion process­es. After a few years, I real­ized that orga­ni­za­tions are not that dif­fer­ent: tech­nol­o­gy makes busi­ness process­es more effi­cient, and data are the main resource for doing so.

 

Over the years, I have expe­ri­enced the tech­no­log­i­cal evo­lu­tion and dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion in orga­ni­za­tions myself. A mile­stone was the intro­duc­tion of Excel in the 1980s, which changed every­thing. In the upcom­ing years we will expe­ri­ence a sim­i­lar rev­o­lu­tion: Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence will change the way we work again. But AI will not defeat us, some­one who will use AI bet­ter than we do will do.

 

With this aware­ness today, as Chief Infor­ma­tion Offi­cer of Glas­ford, my goal is to be ready. To do this, I am com­mit­ted in find­ing new ways to make peo­ple and tech­nol­o­gy bet­ter inter­act, accom­pa­ny­ing and facil­i­tat­ing the work of each team mem­ber and the com­mu­ni­ca­tion between them. This means thor­ough­ly under­stand­ing needs and areas requir­ing improve­ment, iden­ti­fy­ing and imple­ment­ing the best tools to ensure func­tion­al­i­ty and con­nec­tion. A process made up of suc­ces­sive and nev­er con­clu­sive steps, because any evo­lu­tion is only pos­si­ble through con­tin­u­ous improve­ment.
