About

Global citizen, deeply curious about our world and its transformations. I have spent most of my career as a CEO, leading organizations through growth, transformation and globalization. I especially enjoy building strong teams, bringing clarity to complex situations and helping people and organizations achieve more than they thought possible.My operating experience spans publicly traded, private equity-backed, family-owned and nonprofit organizations. I have directly led global businesses ranging from $10 million to $1 billion in revenue, primarily in knowledge and technology-enabled industries.Alongside my CEO roles, I founded NeuronVentures in 2021. Through it, I invest in knowledge businesses and advise other CEOs on their transformation agenda, sometimes supporting execution.Most recently, from 2022 to 2026, I served as President and CEO of Project Management Institute (PMI), a $400 million global organization in professional education, certification and edtech. During my tenure, PMI developed a new growth strategy, built a new leadership team, completed five acquisitions in Agile, AI, PMO and sustainability, and launched new AI-powered products. It returned to strong organic growth, accelerating to 30% year on year in 2026, while growing financial reserves by more than $250 million.Before PMI, I spent 17 years at Ipsos, a global leader in market research and data analytics, including as Global Deputy CEO and CEO North America. Under my leadership, the North American business grew to more than $800 million in annual revenue while increasing EBITDA margin to nearly 20%. I also led Ipsos Marketing and Advertising global research practices and the EMEA region, and served on the Ipsos Board of Directors. Earlier, I was CEO of Consodata, a first and third-party consumer data and analytics company now part of LiveRamp with operations in Europe, North America and China, and held CEO and Chair roles across data, technology, publishing and consumer businesses.American and French.
