Arsiné (pronounced Ar-Si-Neh) is a 27 year Disney-trained business technology expert who believes that running a successful business is like running a healthy body. “No brain is good without a body and no body is good without a brain” Arsiné believes. For her, it’s the elegant, cohesive and seamless relationship between different areas of a business and technology that makes any business a success today. Just like a beautiful oil painting.
Before founding ProvokIdea in 2016, Arsiné was the Director of Information Technology at the Walt Disney Company where she led service delivery teams of 15 to 20, for nearly 2 decades. She was formally invited to provoke new thinking in house as senior consultant at Entertainment Partners, servicing large production studios.
Over the course of her career, Arsiné has served as an invaluable partner to Fortune 100 companies such as the Walt Disney Company, Specialty Insurance Services and Infosol. She has successfully managed multi-million dollar software application portfolios used by large retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy. She headed large and small, internal and external technology service delivery teams for successful implementation initiatives across various industry verticals.
Don’t let her decades of IT experience fool you! Arsiné shatters the stereotype of your typical IT gal. She is a master communicator with all levels of executive leadership. She translates complex technology into simple business speak, complicated concepts into easy to understand action items for partners. She speaks the language of C-suite, sales, marketing, product development, supply chain and operations. Having lived, studied and traveled in several countries in Europe, Australia, Middle East and America, has given Arsiné the intellectual curiosity, mental agility and cultural sensitivity to work with variety of people, industries and business challenges.
What sets Arsiné apart from other business technologists is that she excels at asking the toughest questions to get most creative business process solutions and change for her clients. Hence, her inspiration for provoking ideas.

Her bold and creative approach stems from her passion for complexity and an eye for beauty.
