Brett Schklar is an Enterprise Futurist and bestselling author of AI Without the BS: The CEO's Playbook for Actually Getting AI Right. He works with enterprise leaders ready to stop fearing tomorrow and start building it. Over the last two years he has had one-on-one conversations with close to 2,000 CEOs navigating the biggest technological shift of their careers, and keeps landing on the same conclusion: the deciding factor is the drive and judgment of the leadership team, far more than the technology stack.

His keynotes are part strategy session, part stand-up, part halftime speech, giving enterprise audiences research-backed optimism and a clear plan for what comes next.
