I’m the founder and managing director of a U.S.-based research advisory firm, neXt Curve. I have over 23 years of experience in strategy and technology consulting. I have had the great fortune of working with some of the leading consulting, technology and research organizations during my career such as IBM, PwC, EY and most recently as a managing partner with Gartner Inc. I have what you might call a very diverse background that includes leading digital transformation programs for Fortune 100 enterprises, helping leading tech vendors develop their global cloud G2M strategies to designing and developing a first-of-a-kind ERP implementation for one of the earliest Internet search engine companies. I have worked with firms across a wide range of industries including numerous segments of the tech industry, media & entertainment, oil & gas, automotive, financial services, pharma and healthcare and retail to name a few. My current passion is synthesizing my cross-domain, cross-industry experience and knowledge into compelling insights and recommendations that can help businesses realize differentiating strategies, capabilities and innovations.

WWDC 2018 was held yesterday, and the Apple team announced a wide range of new features across the portfolio of Apple platforms: Apple TV, iOS, MacOS and WatchOS as they always do each year.

We expect innovation, and the bar is set very high for this icon of "disruption." We can appreciate that Apple is driving the Privacy First agenda of our digital future on the backs of GDPR and the Cambridge Analytica debacle with the application of AI to protect your online privacy. We can appreciate Group FaceTime very much, but Google Hangouts was there first.

Walkie-Talkie.
