Exploring the collision of AI, power, and how we work.

I speak on the messy intersection of AI, power, and how we design work. It’s not clean. It’s not solved. But it’s where everything is being rewritten.

What I Focus On

The Ethics of AI

The Ethics of AI

Who decides what gets automated, and who gets replaced?
When the algorithm breaks something, who takes the hit?
What decisions are we letting AI make for us, and who set the rules?
Are we building machines that help us think or just excuses not to?
What are we still willing to ignore in the name of scale?
You don’t need to answer these questions.
But your systems already do.

 

Company of One

Company of One

One person, powered by AI, can lead entire workflows, create virtual teams, and build faster than most departments.
They don’t ask for permission. They ship.
What happens when every person becomes their own company?
How do we design for that kind of autonomy?
How do we measure performance when speed, leverage, and creativity are so unevenly distributed?
This is the new unit of work.

 

Leadership When Control Fails

Leadership When Control Fails

What do leaders do when no one needs permission?
Today, individuals operate with more capability than most teams had a year ago.
They think, ship, and scale on their own.
No waiting. No approvals. No oversight.
What’s the role of a leader when no one asks for guidance—just clarity?
How do you lead a system you no longer fully control?
And what happens when the people with the most power aren’t managers anymore?
Leadership doesn’t disappear. But it does have to justify itself.

The Limits of Human Performance

The Limits of Human Performance

AI gives individuals the power to build at a scale that outpaces biology.
When one person 10x’s their productivity, they also 10x their stress and anxiety.
Are our bodies even built for that kind of load?
What happens when clarity becomes rare?
When exhaustion becomes the norm?
This is wellness. But structural. Strategic.
And most companies are ignoring it, until people break.

Replaced by AI

I’m not a former C-something or a consultant watching from a distance.
I’m an executive in the middle of it, navigating AI disruption with a team, a P&L, and deadlines that don’t care about theory.
HR is being unbundled. AI is already absorbing recruitment, performance, and learning - function by function, tool by tool. What’s left isn’t a smaller HR team. It’s a vacuum at the center of how work gets designed.
That vacuum is a new role. Strategic. Messy. I call it the Organizational Architect - the one who designs how companies operate when AI isn’t a tool, but a co-worker.
Could HR claim that role? Maybe. But nothing says it has to be HR. This shift doesn’t come with a title. It’s up for grabs, and there’s plenty of room for those with the right skills to step in.
In this book, I’ll show you what those skills are, what’s already shifting under the surface, and how to claim the seat you didn't know it was yours to claim.
