Elie Ruderman

Director, BTS

Elie Ruderman is a Franco-American Director in BTS's Paris office and Director of AI and Innovation for BTS Europe. He leads BTS Europe's AI work, both within the firm and with clients. He helps leadership teams define AI strategies, build the skills and culture to adopt AI, and measure the return on that investment.

Elie also leads a client portfolio across manufacturing, food, insurance, and corporate services. He designs custom business simulations and learning journeys that help organizations execute their strategies, and he has facilitated programs for leaders from middle management to the C-suite. His work spans strategy alignment, business acumen, sales, assessment, and leadership. Since he joined BTS in 2016, the Paris office has grown more than fivefold.

He works in English, French, and Italian, and much of his work involves helping leaders build shared understanding across cultures and functions. Before BTS, he was a financial auditor at Deloitte and a project manager at Eurochannel, a European film channel.
