Speaking & Keynotes

I speak to leaders and institutions navigating AI adoption beyond tools — where incentives, governance, and organizational design determine whether AI creates value or friction.

Signture Topics

Why AI Initiatives Stall

Organizations adopt AI readily. Transforming how they work is a different problem — one that training programs and tool rollouts can't solve. This talk names the organizational patterns that keep AI from creating the value it should.

From AI Principles to Practice

Governance frameworks look good on paper and break down under real incentives. Most organizations treat governance as a compliance exercise. The ones that get further treat it as infrastructure for getting more value out of AI.

The Efficiency Trap

AI strategy defaults to speed and cost reduction. That framing suppresses the value AI could actually create. This talk unpacks why efficiency dominates, what it costs, and what a different starting point looks like.
