Raquel Buscaino leads Deloitte’s Novel & Exponential Technologies (NExT) team where she and her team sense, and make sense of, emerging technologies that are likely to change the way we work and live. From brain-computer interfaces and synthetic biology to space exploration and quantum computing, Buscaino and her team aim to distill signal from noise, value from hype, and profitable actions from ambiguous concepts. The NExT team uses this research to create world-class thought leadership, such as Deloitte Tech Trends and xTech Futures publications.
Buscaino is also the host of the Deloitte TECHTalks podcast where she interviews industry leaders about what’s new and next in tech. Prior to her leadership on Deloitte’s NExT team, she worked in Deloitte’s blockchain & digital assets practice where she specialized in blockchain consortiums and led global blockchain workshops for Deloitte and its clients.
