THE TECHNOLOGY INTERVIEW
ith AI accelerating from hype to full-scale enterprise transformation, leaders are stepping to the fore to guide the shift. One such voice is Pascal Brier, Group Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini.
With decades of experience across technology and business leadership – including senior positions at Microsoft, AT & T, NCR and Altran – Pascal sits at the centre of Capgemini’ s rapid evolution into an AI-powered transformation partner. In his role, he oversees Technology, Innovation and Ventures for Capgemini across the globe –“ tracking, analysing and implementing more than 1,000 emerging technologies each year”, ensuring the group“ constantly strives to be at the forefront of innovation”.
Building the AI-powered enterprise Although AI is nothing new – both in terms of its 1950s foundations and when its popularity thrust it into the public domain in the 21st century – it is central to Capgemini and its ambitions. This form of intelligence is also something deeply baked into Capgemini’ s operations – something Pascal is continuing to ensure remains a core part of its foundation and strategy.
Now, the company positions itself as an AI-powered business and technology transformation partner, helping enterprises adopt, integrate and scale AI across industries from banking to automotive to telecommunications.
“ The AI decision CEOs will regret most in five years is choosing nearterm priorities over long-term vision and delaying the foundations required for scalable adoption”
Pascal Brier, Group CIO, Capgemini
Capgemini boasts more than 30,000 data and AI consultants and engineers, all supported by industryspecific expertise and an extensive portfolio of delivery assets.
“ We are well positioned,” Pascal says,“ thanks to our Resonance AI Framework, our ecosystem of 25 strategic AI partners and our innovation labs, including the AI Futures Lab and the AI Robotics & Experiences Lab.”
Underpinning these ventures is Capgemini’ s conviction that the next wave of business transformation will depend on achieving what Pascal calls human-AI chemistry: the seamless collaboration between people and AI agents working under human control.
