Leadership in the Age of AI

Real transformation comes from human, not artificial, intelligence.

I help leaders build the trust, culture, and capabilities that turn technology investments into lasting change. I also ensure that technology and company strategy work together to drive real business results. Former CIO of lululemon. Author. Speaker. Board Director.

There's nothing artificial about the intelligence required to drive change

Leaders everywhere are being asked to deliver AI-driven change. But what sets successful leaders apart isn't how much technology they deploy. It's how well they develop the human capabilities that turn tools into impact.
