Anica Alvarez Nishio
Thought Leadership

​
Anica lectures and advises on
evolving technology risk and opportunity.
She uses a stakeholder-focused lens to
clarify emerging trends and challenges, particularly for
non-technological audiences.
​
She cuts through jargon and complexity,
and helps reduce a seemingly
overwhelming number of
inputs to core principles.
With empathy and humour, and using
concrete real-world examples, she helps
those tasked with
decision-making -- in a rapidly
changing landscape, often for
which they have no specialist
expertise -- better
understand the trade-offs.
In doing so, she helps individuals and organisations mitigate commercial and reputational risk, and pinpoint how they can effectively utilise technology in the near- and long-term to deliver better outcomes for
enterprise and stakeholders alike.
