Alfredo Colas

I build enterprise-scale data, AI, and modern engineering capabilities that move the P&L—safely and sustainably. As P&G’s Chief Data & AI Officer and SVP for IT Innovation, I’ve scaled platforms and operating models that drove material growth, productivity, and cash impact. I led the creation of P&G's AI Factory and GenAI ecosystem, compressing time-to-value from months to weeks while strengthening AI governance (risk, privacy, lineage, observability). These capabilities power mission-critical decisions at global scale, with tens of thousands of active users and measurable business outcomes. I operate a product-centric enterprise: portfolio governance, platform funding, and AI risk management—paired with reusable data products and services. I lift release velocity and reliability through Agile/DevOps/SRE and platform engineering, and I partner with business leaders to convert technology into durable results. Career snapshot: Former North America CIO (largest region) and global commercial technology leader. Lived/worked across Europe and North America; led multi-region teams, integrated acquisitions, and modernized sales, supply chain, and enterprise platforms. I’m a people-first builder of diverse, high-performing teams—clear goals, real interdependence, and candid coaching. Known for the “difficult right,” I lead with authenticity and empathy, bringing capacity and calm to complex portfolios so the organization can transform repeatedly. Industry standards leadership: GS1 US Board and GS1 Global committees.
