Why I Speak About Product, AI, and Inclusive Leadership
Great products are not just built on strong roadmaps and clean execution. They’re built by teams that feel safe to challenge assumptions, with leaders who understand the impact of AI and data on real people, and in cultures that live trust, fairness and inclusion as core business capabilities.
My talks explore how Inclusive Leadership, Product Strategy, and Ethics in AI come together to positive impact on the world and business success.
Key Topics:
| Product Leadership How to lead product teams in environments full of ambiguity, legacy systems, and competing priorities. With a clear focus on users and business outcomes. | Ethics & AI: From Principles to Product Decisions Practical ways to build responsible and trustworthy AI-powered products. Practical tools to start using right away. |
| Creating Business Impact Equipping teams to make smarter business decisions, define clear success metrics, and communicate business impact across their organization. | Future Skills for Product Leaders: The capabilities product leaders and teams need to grow. Especially in an AI-driven, remote/hybrid, and increasingly complex world. |
