Vice Chair of EY Americas Strategy and Transactions, Mitch Berlin, joins Technology Magazine to discuss the latest findings from the 2022 EY US CEO Survey

The 2022 EY US CEO Survey has revealed that digital strategy is set to take the centre stage in 2022, with nearly half (49%) of US CEOs currently focused on implementing technology to protect and improve profit margins.

As Vice Chair - EY Americas Strategy and Transactions, Mitch Berlin leads a team of nearly 8,500 professionals across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Israel. Strategy and Transactions is a practice aimed at helping CEOs and other business leaders drive corporate strategy, capital allocation and transactions advisory through execution to enable fast-track value creation and build long-term value in an ever-changing environment.

For more than 25 years, Berlin has worked at EY and strategy group EY Parthenon, where he enables clients to navigate today's complexity by reimagining their ecosystems, reshaping their portfolios and reinventing themselves for a better future.

Berlin discusses the inaugural survey, completed following the emergence of the omicron variant in December 2021, which polled 336 US CEOs and measured leaders’ sentiment and expectations around future growth, sustainability strategy, M&A and portfolio optimisation for the next 12 months.
