2026-05-07 Speaker Announcement Gabriele Popescu

Gabriela takes us through the transformation of Versuni, a young, international manufacturer of household appliances behind brands such as Philips, Saeco, and Gaggia. She shows how she leads change without the constraints of legacy systems, driven by a powerful mission: to develop every employee into a technologically savvy contributor and to demonstrate value anew after each wave of transformation.

Together with Martijn van den Heuvel (Director AI & Digital Experience) and Christiaan Müller (Head of Enterprise Architecture & Technology), she presents so‑called pressure‑cooker initiatives: real experiments that foster genuine collaboration and deliver tangible business results.

In this session:

✅ Learn how to make technology broadly accessible across the organization
✅ See how to demonstrate the value of transformation initiatives
✅ Discover how pressure‑cooker experiments accelerate innovation and impact
✅ Gain insight into CIO leadership under high pressure and with incomplete information

Known for her collaborative and curious leadership style, Gabriela shows how modern CIOs provide direction with #clarity, #trust, and #impact.
