Summary
With over 30 years of experience in industry, consulting, academia, government, and private equity, I am passionate about bringing together business, government, and society to make the world a better place. I am the Executive Director of the Baratta Center for Global Business, a newly launched action think tank focused on the future of global business, at Georgetown University, where I also serve as a Research Professor of the Practice. I am also a Board Director for Evtech Group (an EV components manufacturer) and Executive Chairman of elvoX IKE (an innovative last-mile small cargo EV for the European market, and HQ in Greece). I recently "retired" from PwC where I was the Managing Partner of the global Industrials business, and was also the chairperson for the Smart Mobility Hub. I was a senior partner with PwC Strategy& for the past ten years, and have more than 30 years of experience in industry, consulting, academia, government, and private equity. As an investor, board member, and advisor in digital, climate, mobility, and deep-tech areas, I leverage my expertise in strategy, innovation, and transformation to help Boards and CEOs navigate the complex and dynamic challenges and opportunities of the global market. I am also a graduate of the International Directors Program at INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools. I also serve on the Board of Directors of non-profits in the areas of refugee children's education, homelessness, and education equity in the US and around the world.
