About Edwige Sacco

I lead Workforce Innovation at KPMG, where we solve complex talent challenges through a strategic blend of human-centered design, behavioral change, and agile experimentation. Our goal: to modernize how people work, learn, and lead in a world reshaped by AI, technology, and evolving expectations.As the enterprise strategy lead for People & Change within our global AI transformation (aIQ), I drive adoption of generative artificial intelligence at scale: integrating learning, culture, and communication to enable new ways of working across our business.Previously, I spent nearly two decades advising global banks, tech companies, and startups on financial crimes compliance, specializing in anti–money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and economic sanctions. I’ve led transformations across continents, closed multimillion-dollar deals, and built high-performing teams from the ground up - always at the intersection of innovation, trust, and growth.Known for making complexity actionable, I bring clarity to emerging risks and design change strategies that stick. I’m purpose-driven, future-focused, and deeply curious about how immersive tech and virtual environments will reshape trust, collaboration, and the workforce of tomorrow.
