The Secret to Data-Driven Business Success | Fausto Schiavone

Meet Fausto — Building Data and AI That Create Real Outcomes

Fausto Schiavone , Data Domain Lead Architecture at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) , is a global data leader who has worked across telecommunications, Procter & Gamble, and now the humanitarian sector. Across every role, his focus has stayed consistent: using data and analytics to support decisions that matter in the real world. On The Executive Outlook, Fausto shares why data and AI work best when they stay close to execution. Early in his career, working with business teams showed him how data-driven decisions can impact sales and revenue—something that kept him focused on measurable outcomes as he moved into leadership roles. 

Fausto also explains a clear case from P&G. Paid search spending was high, but ROI was unclear. His team found budget leaking into low-quality keywords, added real-time checks to stop waste, proved savings through a pilot, and then scaled it with leadership support. For him, the hardest part wasn’t the solution—it was getting people aligned. 

Fausto’s message is practical: start with a vision people understand, build sponsorship to handle resistance, and scale only after proving value. And when AI involves sensitive data, secure architecture and strong governance are non-negotiable.
