About
I’m Katerina Tasidou. I work with leaders to improve how their organizations operate, including how they use data and AI. I have advised executives on strategy, governance and operating models, led an AI advisory practice and led teams responsible for business and technology change.
I hold a master’s degree in chemical engineering and an MBA. My career has taken me from research and innovation management into operations and enterprise transformation. I have worked across financial services, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and distribution.

How I Approach the Work
I start with what the business needs to achieve, then question the decisions and ways of working that stand in its way. Before recommending a change, I test how the expected benefits would arise, what the data and technology can support, which risks matter, what the change would cost and require, and who would be accountable.
I lead the work from direction through implementation and adoption, working with leaders, business teams and technical partners to make decisions, build what is needed and help people work differently. I measure progress by what changes in everyday work and the business results that follow.
