“We are in a moment of unprecedented change across the globe. Working with clients, I help them embrace the new reality around consumers, business models and the broader ecosystem around them to build solutions that create value. While we cannot change the new consumer reality – which is atomized, disintermediated, complex and, above all, dynamic – we can make sure that we collaborate to build solutions.”
