He subsequently spent a decade at **Hewlett Packard**, where he held various managerial roles in the Information Management & Analytics division, later assuming leadership of the Data Science Practice at **Accenture** in the ICEG market unit (Italy, Central Europe, and Greece) in 2014. About a year and a half ago, he took on a new challenge at **Iconsulting**, where he focused on consolidating and advancing the company’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions area.  *“We are at a point where the hype around AI has generated a new need — the need to get data assets under control within many organizations that are still not ready to profitably leverage them”,* says **Vittorio Lusvarghi,** **CEO of Kirey Group***. “Michele’s extensive experience and strategic vision will be essential in strengthening our position as a leader in digital transformation and supporting our ambitious growth plans.”*    - [Previous post](https://newsroom.kireygroup.com/en/news/netops-network-automation-evolves?hsLang=en) - [Read all posts](https://newsroom.kireygroup.com/en/news?hsLang=en) - [Next post](https://newsroom.kireygroup.com/en/news/data-value-how-to-calculate-it-and-strategies-to-optimize-it?hsLang=en) ## Related posts: #### [Kirey and Intesa (Kyndryl) transform pension plann...](https://newsroom.kireygroup.com/en/news/kirey-and-intesa-kyndryl-transform-pension-planning-from-15-days-to-a-single-click-to-join-pension-funds?hsLang=en) With Intesa (Kyndryl) we aim to innovate the supplementary pension sector by making onboarding final...
