Sia is here to help!
Sia understands all these sources and types of data, and helps you make sense of them. We call this cognitive insights.
Add Sia to your sales, marketing, product, innovation or communication teams in any collaboration tool and get access to the power of A.I. & cognitive to conquer the data deluge and deliver superior business results.

Private Equity & Country Manager
SSA & Company
Bought as the "Six Sigma Academy" by a group of investors to form SSA & Co, they brought in a CEO - and me as his right hand - to transform the business.
​
SSA & Company transforms companies to enhance business outcomes (e.g., growth, profit, capability). We uniquely drive these outcomes by combining cutting-edge digital tools and advanced analytics techniques with operations improvements. SSA & Company is part of Council Advisors (formerly G100 Companies), a private partnership of businesses that deliver solutions, advice, and forums on the issues that matter most to CEOs of the world’s leading companies.
​
From the ground up, working with Dr. Mikel Harry, the inventor of the Six Sigma methodology, I drove business development for SSA & Co in the early days, then oversaw international expansion, and ultimately helped establish our PE practice.
​
From a team of 2 we went to 300+ consultants in 6 years and one of the leading consultancies in the world.
