Hello Marla and hi everyone.

It is great to be here with you on Redefiners.

We're so happy to have you.

That's right, Marla.

Our guest is an international authority in several areas leaders spend a lot of time dealing with.

People analytics, talent management, leadership development, and the human AI interface.

This is someone I followed over the years through his books, media appearances, and his TED Talks.

And we're thrilled to share that he recently joined Russell Reynolds Associates as our new Chief Science Officer.

In this role, he'll lead our research and development and innovation initiatives and drive the firm's data strategy.

We're also so happy and we have so many questions for you.

Before we get into the thick of things, we wanted to give you a chance to introduce yourself to our listeners.

So why don't you take a few minutes, if that's okay, to share a bit about your background, where you're from, career highlights, anything you'd like to share to help our listeners get to know you a bit better.

Look at us.

And I was lucky enough to live and work in New York for a bit, and it certainly does open your mind in a totally different way.

So, Tomás, you grew up in Buenos Aires.

You've lived in London, New York, and now Miami.

In that time, you've met and worked with leaders all over the world.

What are some of the common challenges that you see leaders facing today?
