Background

About Michele Cacciari

As a global leader, I am deeply committed to driving transformative change within the Energy and Utilities sectors. My passion centers on envisioning and implementing strategic digital transformation initiatives and pioneering innovative go-to-market approaches that unlock sustainable growth and operational excellence. I have cultivated throughout the years a strong track record of building and empowering high-performing global teams, fostering a collaborative culture where expertise is valued, and individuals are motivated to achieve ambitious goals. My experience encompasses the complete spectrum of business development, from the initial stages of in-depth market analysis and strategic opportunity definition to the successful negotiation and execution of complex, multi-year partnerships with leading global organizations across the energy value chain. I bring a nuanced understanding of the specific challenges and emerging opportunities within the dynamic landscape of Energy, the rapidly evolving Energy Transition, and the critical Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) space, taking into consideration cultural differences and environmental priorities. I thrive on the intellectual challenge of leveraging cutting-edge technologies - including AI and Machine Learning, Digital Twins, advanced analytics, and industrial IoT - to solve complex industry problems and deliver tangible, measurable value to clients. My approach is rooted in building strong, collaborative relationships with stakeholders at all levels, ensuring alignment and driving impactful outcomes that contribute to a more efficient, safer, and sustainable future for the Energy and Utilities sectors. I started my career at Accenture where I gained 18-year invaluable experience in delivering complex digital transformation projects around the globe for major Energy customers. Promoted Managing Director in 2015, I moved to the Middle East to lead the Digital Plant Offering (now Industry X.0) handling a clients’ portfolio that included KPC, ADNOC and Saudi Aramco. I am currently working as Global Head of Energy Industry and Business Value Consulting in AVEVA, driving an innovative value-based selling approach to lead business development, pipeline generation and growth. I support prime Energy Companies in successfully adopting digital technologies worldwide. I'm eager to connect with fellows, professionals, industry leaders, and potential collaborators. Let's explore opportunities to drive innovation and efficiency together.
