Her career is marked by a relentless drive to create value by harmonizing technological innovation with human-centric strategies, by thought leadership namely as author of an awarded book on AI-human transformation, making her a key figure in the transformation of business models towards data-driven and ethical practices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Throughout her career, Helen has encountered CEOs and technology leaders grappling with the complexities of AI integration. She observes, <i>&#8220;I keep meeting CEOs \u2018lost in translation\u2019 with AI, stretched between the hyper opportunity and the potential risk, confused about the true ROI, and often uninspired by the over-functional and mechanistic recommendations of traditional consultants on AI.&#8221; <\/i>Her insights into these challenges have driven her to develop a unique approach capitalizing on her own CEO experience and on academic work, that prioritizes the articulation between human and business aspects of AI adoption, aligned with the firm\u2019s raison d\u2019\u00eatre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Helen\u2019s influence extends far beyond traditional business practices. She has pioneered the development of innovation labs in collaboration with institutions like MIT Sloan, the Sorbonne Neuroscience Centre and Boston University, reinforcing her commitment to advancing ethical, data-driven leadership for more sustainable value. Her work building up the Ipsos Global Science Organization has been lauded as a game-changer in the industry, promoting responsible and impactful use of data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">She further notes, <i>&#8220;AI is such an extraordinary opportunity but is also full of fears, can create silos, can kill energy by forced processes, and is often too disconnected from the firm\u2019s core strategy, including from the sustainability strategy.&#8221; <\/i>With this understanding, Helen has crafted a customized \u201cexternal eye\u201d approach designed to help CEOs, Boards and Chief Data Officers (CDOs) navigate strategic renewal with AI. <i>&#8220;My passion is to help large groups as well as SMEs in a completely customized 360 \u2018external eye\u2019 approach to orchestrate much more than ROI from AI, rather their strategic renewal with AI, leveraging people, planet, and consequently profit. And it works\u2014smoothly, simply, efficiently, with respect, dignity, and a smile on all faces.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Helen\u2019s vision is not just about technology; it\u2019s about fighting the over-processed and mechanistic approach to AI adoption (leading to slow adoption, leaving aside women, non-tech and older people); it\u2019s about encouraging \u201cliving\u201d organizations where AI is seamlessly and responsibly integrated into the fabric of the company, enhancing its strategy and aligning with people, augmenting their dignity and true re-excitement at work. Her mantra, &#8220;<i>See, Be, Own the future with AI,&#8221;<\/i> is a call for a responsible new leadership of the CEO and the Board &#8212; embracing the future of business where technology serves societies and humanity, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenzeitoun\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> | <a href=\"https:\/\/linkedin.com\/company\/datae-humanum\/\"><span class=\"s3\">DATAE HUMANUM<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.
