Alberto Torres has lived and worked at the fault lines of technological change for over three decades — as a technologist, strategist, executive, board member, advisor, educator and author.

​

A computer science Ph.D. from Stanford University, he was a partner and founding member of McKinsey & Company’s Silicon Valley office, a senior executive at Nokia and Hewlett-Packard, CEO of venture-backed and global consumer businesses, and a board member at public and private companies.

​

Today, Alberto is a consultant and coach, a member of the International Advisory Board at Adobe, and an adjunct professor at IE Business School.

​

In The Z-Curve, he turns decades of experience at the front lines of technological disruption into a practical guide for leaders who need to recognize change early, make better strategic decisions and build organizations prepared for the future.
