Start Small to Win Big
With Parsons Corporation’s Ricardo Lorenzo 

For the second time, The Trailblazers podcast features Parsons Corporation Chief Technology Officer Ricardo Lorenzo, who sat down for an interview with BST Global Chief Marketing Officer Eileen M. Canady.  

This episode goes deep into the topic of minimizing risk and maximizing reward during times of rapid technological change. As the conversation unfolds, we learn that Ricardo likes to think holistically and aim for real-world impact in a fast-paced environment. Ricardo also shares the risk-management strategy that has served him well — be inclusive from the beginning, start early and small, and be transparent always.  

Ricardo goes on to explain how firms can win big by monetizing the data they collect and bringing clients value they may not know they need. He encourages leaders to let their employees play around and explore, but always with the appropriate guardrails in place to mitigate risk. Ricardo also reveals that he will invest in a person with passion for what they do over just about anything else.
