Deloitte Global Client Relationship Executive

Profile

A self-made intrapreneur who turns bold visions into ventures that reshape how global enterprises grow in the age of AI.

Eternally optimistic, I see AI as the biggest inflection point of this generation — and every challenge it creates as an opportunity to rebuild how enterprises create value. Fifteen-plus years in business development have made me equally fluent in boardroom strategy and emerging technology, with a track record of building the trust that turns transformation from a slide deck into revenue.

I've built sales organizations from the ground up, developed leaders at every level, and managed global key accounts — always with the same instinct: find where technology is about to change the rules, and get there first.

Work Experience

2021Present

Global Client Relationship Executive

Deloitte — Geneva, Switzerland

As Global Client Relationship Executive, I lead Deloitte's relationship with one of the world's largest Consumer Goods groups — one of the firm's most strategic global accounts — repositioning it from occasional advisor to Tier-1 global partner. Over five years, I've helped more than double account revenue while deepening trust with senior stakeholders and the C-suite, initiating and supporting strategic RFPs across major transformation, operations and strategy engagements.

Recognized internally for this track record, I now also sit on Deloitte's Romandie Growth Council and lead a new mandate with a global Flavour & Fragrance leader, targeting a similar multi-year growth trajectory.

AI & Pharma

The real disruption in AI drug discovery isn't the money

Takeda's $600M bet on AI drug discovery isn't an adoption story — it's pharma being rearchitected. When AI labs start developing their own drugs, they stop being tool vendors and become competitors.

AI Agents & Commerce

Visa just let AI buy things on your behalf — no human required

ChatGPT and Visa now complete full retail transactions autonomously. The real customer is becoming the agent, not the human — and brand storytelling doesn't convert with machines.

AI Governance

Walmart rationed its own AI assistant — and it's not about hackers

When 10,000 developers adopt a tool as their default co-pilot, the cost curve turns non-linear. AI ROI models built on pilot data fail at enterprise scale — consumption governance is now a strategic capability.

Anthropic just overtook OpenAI in enterprise adoption

Real payment data now shows Anthropic ahead on enterprise spend — decoupling vendor selection from consumer brand recognition. First-mover advantage is eroding faster than anyone predicted.
