Get to know Laura with these 3 quickfire questions.
My main mission is to help leaders take charge of the AI revolution instead of just reacting to it.
Since AI is now transforming industries, standing still isn’t an option, but rushing in without coordination often leads to a fragmented, unscalable mess and technical debt. My focus will be on helping organizations define their AI mission, identify big value pools and balance speed with long-term AI resilience. And we all know that AI isn’t just about tech. It’s equally about people. Yet, like any transformation, we often underestimate the criticality of investing in change. I’ll be working with leaders to ensure they bring people along, co-create solutions and design AI with humans at the center. All with one simple goal: make AI investments drive both business and human impact.
