Melissa Daimler

Every organization is racing to deploy AI. Most are falling behind. Not because they chose the wrong tools or moved too slowly, but because they bolted new technology onto a culture that was never built for execution in the first place. In this candid talk, Melissa Daimler draws on two decades of change leadership at Adobe, Twitter, WeWork, and Udemy to share how to turn major organizational shifts, such as AI, into a competitive advantage. The answer isn't in your tech stack. It's in your organizational readiness: how decisions get made, how teams communicate, and whether your culture was designed or just happened. Leaders who understand this aren't just ahead of AI adoption. They're ahead, period.
