Alberto Barroso

Global Director Advanced Analytics & AI Danone

I lead AI and digital transformation initiatives that turn advanced analytics into measurable business value. Over the past 22 years, I have worked across the consumer goods, industrial technology, energy, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and management consulting sectors, helping organizations leverage data, AI, and decision science to improve performance, strengthen resilience, and accelerate growth. As Global Head of AI at Danone, I focus on building the foundations for scalable and responsible AI adoption, from enterprise strategy and governance to workforce upskilling and change management. Guided by Danone's mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, I help ensure that AI is not only innovative and scalable, but also responsible, human-centric, and aligned with business and societal impact. My passion is bridging the gap between technical innovation and executive decision-making, ensuring AI delivers real business outcomes rather than remaining a technology experiment. With a background spanning economics, engineering, and data science, I bring both scientific rigor and practical business execution to AI transformation.
