Ignacio is a senior partner in McKinsey’s Miami office. He is an engineer by training and has spent his career helping organizations drive value by changing how they run, and making those changes stick. Ignacio has worked extensively with leading companies across sectors, in all geographies, often in a multiyear partnership with a CEO and the operating team, and led the Firm’s global Consumer Operations service line for a number of years. In the public sector, he has worked with the Florida Council of 100 for more than ten years on the state’s long-term economic competitiveness. In the social sector, he has worked with Feeding America and Feeding South Florida on closing the supply and demand gap across our region’s food banks.
His work focuses on finding where the value is, changing how decisions get made, and building the capabilities the organization needs to keep the results, increasingly using AI to change how an organization operates.
Examples of Ignacio’s recent work include:
- leading a consumer goods group’s transformation to reach the full potential of a 20,000-person workforce and to fund growth, on track to deliver about $1 billion in bottom-line impact across productivity and growth, including its commercial and operational strategy, management routines, and driving performance and health in tandem that reversed multiple years of flat results and stock performance
- working with a leading company’s leadership team to set its digital strategy, launch an agile transformation and a center of excellence, and rebuild integrated business planning through a first set of minimum-viable-product use cases. The transformation touched all areas of the company and built new sets of muscles and capabilities at all levels of the organization
- contributing to Beyond Sunshine, the Florida Council of 100’s published plan for the state’s competitiveness, which aims to add more than 200,000 higher-wage jobs and nearly $100 billion in GDP by 2030 Beyond Sunshine: Advancing Florida’s World Class Economy for the Next Generation; and the initial version of the plan: Project Sunrise: An Economic Competitiveness Strategy for the State of Florida
