Analytics leadership has a ground-breaking role in today’s Digital Transformation—to set the vision, mission, strategy, and ethical values for the whole world to adopt. To address this point, the Exito Digital Transformation Summit Dubai brought together some of the key companies operating in the Middle East region, such as Jumeirah Group, Miral Experiences, eClerx Digital, and more, to participate in a panel discussion on the topic—“<em>Bridging the gap between legacy and future thinking</em>.”

Using this opportunity, Alessandro addressed the conflicting nature of technology and business and offered strategic focus points to ensure businesses can build competitive advantage through data and applied AI.
