Why this topic matters

In 2026, every C-suite is demanding "AI strategy", but 95% of pilots fail due to hype over substance. Without a clear playbook, PMs risk "AI theater," misaligned teams, and stalled careers.

Product leader focused on strategy, execution, and human‑centric leadership

He helps organizations adopt outcome‑driven practices, align around clear OKRs, and deliver customer value faster—with less churn and more trust. His teaching style is practical, empathetic, and relentlessly focused on real‑world application.
