Gábor Szentiványi is an accomplished global technology executive and thought leader with more than 25 years of experience driving digital transformation across manufacturing, consumer goods, and specialty materials industries. He currently serves as Chief Information Officer (CIO) of SSTRAIT LLC, before as CIO at Kymera International. Gabor leads global IT strategy, cybersecurity, and digital innovation initiatives.
Gábor is recognized for his ability to align technology with business goals, particularly in complex, multicultural environments shaped by mergers, acquisitions, and rapid change. His expertise spans enterprise systems, global infrastructure, and risk management, with a growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI) as a driver of operational efficiency, fraud detection, and decision support. He is an Innovating AI Certified AI Consultant and a frequent commentator on the human implications of AI adoption, emphasizing the balance between automation and human judgment.
Beyond his technical acumen, Gábor is deeply committed to the human side of leadership. He integrates Emotional Intelligence (EI) into his leadership philosophy, recognizing that technology alone cannot create sustainable success. By fostering self-awareness, empathy, and organizational awareness, he builds teams that are both innovative and resilient. His unique perspective—bridging cutting-edge technology with emotional intelligence—positions him as a leader who not only modernizes systems but also strengthens cultures.
Originally from Hungary, Gábor has lived and worked in Germany, France, and the United States, giving him a truly global perspective. Fluent in multiple languages, he values cultural intelligence as much as technical expertise. He holds an MBA from Bucks New University (UK) and an engineering degree from Kandó Kálmán Technical College (Hungary).
Today, based in North Carolina, he continues to champion the responsible integration of technology with human-centered leadership, helping organizations harness the best of both AI and EI to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
