Why I Engage with Global Associations & Technology Communities

My journey across technology, research, and leadership is driven by a simple belief: "the greatest form of philanthropy is sharing knowledge." By fostering a society that makes informed, collective decisions, I find purpose in contributing to a world that thinks, adapts, and grows together.

I’m passionate about technology — particularly how global SAP ecosystems can drive business transformation. By influencing companies to adopt cutting-edge solutions, we create demand for new skills, unlock employment opportunities, and stimulate a circular economy that benefits communities worldwide.

Being selected for the Forbes Technology Council reflects more than a decade of dedicated work within the SAP landscape. As the founder and moderator of the Council’s “Leverage Data” group, I collaborate with over 100 C-level executives who openly discuss strategic challenges and share insights that shape industries. "Sharing expertise elevates everyone involved."

I regularly publish articles to extend these conversations beyond closed circles, reaching professionals who might otherwise lack access to the latest thinking. Knowledge only fulfills its purpose when it’s broadly shared and used to solve complex problems more effectively.

Serving as a judge for global awards in AI and cybersecurity allows me to evaluate how companies apply innovative technologies — learning from their breakthroughs and then helping disseminate these lessons to a wider audience. This vetted process not only validates my expertise but deepens it, reinforcing my commitment to advancing technology responsibly.

With a background rooted in research, I recognize the transformative power of rigorous inquiry. Having published internationally on genetic regulation and cancer, I continue to invest personal time in advancing scholarly work. As an ACM Certified Reviewer, I’m contributing to the integrity and evolution of fields like data science, emerging technologies, and enterprise software.

Whether guiding organizations through technology adoption, nurturing executive-level forums, or shaping the future through research and mentorship — my goal remains the same: "to create a more informed, adaptive, and opportunity-rich world."
