Leading Through Change
The hardest part of AI isn't the technology. It's leading your people through the change.
One-on-one, I coach senior tech leaders through large-scale organizational change. I also convene the AI Transformation Roundtable — a peer room for those navigating its steepest test yet: AI.
Every wave of technology eventually becomes a people problem.
AI is the steepest wave yet. But ask the leaders living it and the hard part is rarely the tooling — it's adoption, trust, team morale, and roles that are being redrawn underneath everyone's feet. The technology arrives in weeks. The organizational change takes far longer, and it's where most transformations stall.
That work has a name and a long, well-established discipline behind it: leading change. It's one of the most studied challenges in management, and it's core to executive coaching. AI hasn't replaced it — AI has made it the most urgent skill a technology leader can have.
I help senior leaders lead it: drive adoption without breaking trust, redefine roles with clarity, and keep teams motivated and performing through real ambiguity.
The room where this plays out
I convene the AI Transformation Roundtable — a small, off-the-record group of Director+ and VP engineering leaders comparing notes on what's actually working, and where adoption is stalling.
These are deeply technical leaders, and the room goes deep on tools, models, and what's actually working. But the conversation keeps circling back to the human side — because that's where transformations succeed or stall.
What to expect in the room
A deliberately small, candid format built for senior peers.
Eight to twelve Director+ leaders — kept intentionally small so every voice is heard.
What's said in the room stays in the room — candor over performance.
A moderated peer conversation — with experts sometimes invited in to add to the conversation. No slides, no keynote.
Just senior leaders comparing notes on what's working and what isn't.
Want a seat at the table?
Seats are limited to keep each cohort small and high-signal. I review every request personally.
In coaching, this is the work
The roundtable is where leaders compare notes. One-on-one coaching is where they build the capacity to act on them — leading adoption without burning trust, redefining roles, and steadying teams through ambiguity. It's one of the core areas I work on with senior tech leaders.
