Gena is the Chief People Officer and Chief AI Officer at Ignitium, a provider of world-class Account-Based Marketing (ABM) programs for enterprise organizations. She holds a PhD in Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University and seeks to help leaders pursue AI integration with foresight, not fear.
In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Gena shares her insights, predictions, and warnings about the current and future state of AI in the workplace.
Tune in to learn:
- Why AI will democratize leadership
- The biggest blind spot leaders have around AI
- How to address AI adoption pressure from senior leaders
“AI is not going to transform anything,” Gena says. “You as a leader–you are going to be the transformation catalyst.”
