Stiv Sterjo: From Google to the New Era of AI Leadership

Artificial intelligence is no longer something that belongs only to the future. It is already here — transforming the way businesses, leaders and organisations operate around the world. And one of the people standing at the forefront of this global transformation is coming to Cyprus.

Stiv Sterjo, Chief AI & Digital Transformation Advisor at Nerisia and former Google executive, will participate as an international keynote speaker at the 5th Digital Cyprus Conference 2026, taking place on 30 June 2026 at The Landmark Nicosia.

With a professional background that includes organisations such as Google, Telefónica and Intel, Sterjo has led major AI and digital transformation initiatives, advised governments on innovation strategies and contributed to the development of enterprise-scale data and digital ecosystems across multiple industries.

However, what truly makes him stand out internationally is not only his technological expertise. It is the way he approaches artificial intelligence.

Stiv Sterjo speaks about AI not simply as another trend, but as a profound human and business transformation that is reshaping the way we work, lead, collaborate and make decisions. Through a human-centered approach, he explores how organisations can embrace AI without losing their creativity, culture and human identity.

At a time when many organisations are still trying to understand what “AI transformation” truly means, his presentations stand out because they combine strategic thinking, real business insights and a more human perspective on technology and the future of work.

His participation at the Digital Cyprus Conference 2026 comes at a particularly important moment, as artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from an experimental tool into a key driver of competitiveness, growth and long-term business sustainability.

The Conference, organised by CITEA and IMH, aspires to become the leading meeting point for CEOs, technology leaders, policymakers and decision-makers seeking to understand how AI is already transforming the business landscape.

Under the central theme “THE AI REVOLUTION: WHAT IT MEANS FOR BUSINESS”, the Conference will open the discussion around AI agents, the future of work, automation, new business models, cybersecurity, digital trust and the strategic challenges modern organisations are being called to address.

At the same time, the programme will feature international inspirational keynote speakers, real AI implementation case studies, executive discussions and the AI Leadership Circle — an exclusive closed-door gathering of leading CEOs and senior executives from Cyprus, dedicated to the leadership challenges of the new AI era.

The participation of Stiv Sterjo is expected to become one of the major highlights of this year’s event — not only because of his international background, but mainly because of his ability to transform a complex technological discussion into something meaningful, inspiring and highly relevant for every modern leader and organisation.

Because ultimately, the AI revolution is not only about technology. It is about how quickly people and businesses can reinvent themselves in a rapidly changing world.
