TRANSFORMATION

I was the worst student in my school. Then I learned that success is a skill, not a talent.

I went from washing dishes to consulting Fortune 500 companies. The only thing that changed was what I put in my head.

I knew IBM had to transform. Revenue declined for 22 quarters. Everyone saw the problem. The challenge was having the courage to fix it while running the company.

You cannot just sell Pepsi and Doritos forever and pretend the world is not changing around you.

Growth and transformation do not happen in parallel. You have to break things to rebuild them better.

We turned a steel mill in Newark into the world's largest vertical farm. Sometimes the future is built in abandoned factories.

Las Vegas before me was mob money and cheap buffets. I made it about art, architecture, and experience.

I turned a shopping basket company into the world's largest advertising group. Never underestimate ambition.

The bank charter changed everything. We went from marketplace to bank, and the economics got 10x better.

Generative AI is the biggest technology shift since the internet. We're embedding it in everything.

There will be a reconfiguration of our industry. It can't stay as it is.

What the crisis will bring to us is something very different, which is the power of one for real.

The priority at this stage is to focus on the transformation of the group, because this is the only way 80,000 people will progress.
