🚀 Yes, I Want In

Don't miss this hour of brutal honesty about what's really happening inside AI-enhanced organizations. Spots are limited to keep the conversation sharp and human.

The uncomfortable truth: 40% of your workforce is already using AI. Only 20% are telling you about it.

Recent research confirms what we've seen firsthand across the knowledge industry: workers are using AI to triple their productivity, but these gains aren't being captured organizationally. Individual AI performance isn't translating to a business advantage because leaders lack the ability to align technology, people, and processes at scale.

The question isn't whether your people will use AI. It's whether you can turn individual AI gains into systematic competitive advantage before your competitors do.

Whether you’re a SMB or Fortune 50, join Kim and Mariana for a real-world conversation about:

the productivity gap that's threatening your competitive advantage,
the leadership skill gap to manage large-scale change, and
the specific organizational shifts you can make to capture hidden AI gains.

This isn't about AI strategy. This is about execution reality.

No high-level theory. No cookie-cutter frameworks. Just what works when 300,000 people and billions in productivity are on the line.

About Our Guest

Mariana Saddakni transforms Fortune 50 operations at the intersection of technology, people, and business performance. Where others see complexity, she engineers simplicity that scales.

Her visionary track record: scaling new technology trend investments into competitive advantages across AT&T, American Express, Unilever, and currently JPMorgan Chase, where she's orchestrating adoption across 300,000 employees and 300+ enterprise applications.

The common thread? She doesn't implement technology. She makes organizations fundamentally more capable of capturing value from technological change. Her specialty is bridging the gap between what technology can do and what businesses achieve with it. She builds the plane while flying it; exactly what businesses need, given the speed at which technology and AI are advancing.

Leaders hire her because she delivers results that others promise. No theory. No PowerPoint decks. No lengthy implementations. Just measurable business outcomes when transformation absolutely must work, yesterday!

The difference: While others consult on change, Mariana executes it.

This Isn’t A Workshop. It's a Wake-up Call.

Forget dashboards. Forget hype. This is your chance to engage in a sharp, bold, human conversation about what AI actually means for leaders like you—and what to do now.

It’s time to lead what’s next. With purpose. With people. With precision.
