Helping leaders envision the future - and stay ahead of it
I'm on a mission to inspire leaders to apply metaverse tech to their business challenges. We at Accenture define the metaverse as a continuum including XR, blockchain, AI, and other adjacent technologies. As part of the Go-To-Market team within the Metaverse Continuum Business Group, I help clients shape metaverse strategies and launch pilots across customer, employee, and operations use cases. I'm also passionate about helping people become more tech savvy and ready to embrace the future. I'm a big fan of experiential learning and love giving metaverse tours and hands-on genAI demos to give clients a "personal feel" for the tech. I recently gave a TEDx talk on how everyone can (and must) become more tech savvy and have written for Knowledge@Wharton and Chief Learning Officer, as well the "What the Tech?" column for Training Magazine. I am also recognized as a Microsoft MVP for my tech experiments and YouTube tutorials. As both a strategist and a practitioner, I'm here to help leaders envision the future – and stay ahead of it.
