“I use technology as a key enabler for all the projects I deliver for my clients at PwC,” said Matthieu Lemasson, Partner at PwC France. 

French-born Lemasson is based in Paris and works in the Advisory Practice of PwC leading Market and leads the market and aeronautic, defence and space division for PwC.

They help organisations and individuals create the value they are looking for, by delivering quality in assurance, tax and advisory services. 

Lemasson is a member of the Consulting ExCo and focuses on helping large organisations translate their business objectives into strategies that maximise business impact.

His current focus is identifying transformational operating model changes necessary to accelerate end-to-end delivery of business value while improving customer experience leveraging enterprise agile, continuous delivery and digital technologies such as data, new Tech, cloud, analytics. 

Prior to joining PwC Lemasson worked for Capgemini where he spent eight years. “I learnt about technology usage and how technology can be a game changer. After those fantastic years, working on strategy and technology, I moved to PwC. All these years later I can now tell you that both functional and technology are related and without one the other cannot work.   

Commenting on the impact of the pandemic he said that this is an “opportunity for organisations to renew or restart and build something new or different due to technology.

When asked what leader he admired and why, Lemasson said:  “I can’t give only one name. I would say, a group of people, called the “surrealists” mainly focused on writing and painting. People like Malkine, Breton, Desnos, Aragon, Eluard because those people were always thinking out of the box, and this is my philosophy.”
