​​
Kamales Lardi is a globally recognized authority on organizational transformation in the AI age, known for challenging why technology-driven change so often fails at scale. With more than 26 years of experience inside the technology industry, Kamales has worked across complex systems, global organizations, and multiple industries, advising senior executives, boards, and governments on how AI reshapes decision-making, power structures, and organizational resilience.
Her perspective is grounded in a clear insight: AI is not a technology problem — it is a decision quality, governance, and human systems problem. As AI accelerates bias, amplifies risk, and exposes fragile leadership and operating models, Kamales helps leaders understand where transformation efforts break down and what must change for organizations to perform responsibly and effectively.
A defining element of her work is neuroscience. Kamales applies evidence-based insights into human cognition, motivation, fear, and bias to explain why organizations struggle under uncertainty — and how leadership and operating systems must evolve to succeed in the AI era. Her approach reframes ethics, inclusion, and human factors as core performance and risk considerations, not soft issues.
Kamales is the author of Artificial Intelligence for Business, a comprehensive guide to AI and its application in organizations, and the bestselling The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation. She has led more than 50 large-scale transformation initiatives worldwide and is recognized as one of the Top 10 Global Thought Leaders & Influencers in Digital Transformation (Thinkers360).
A sought-after international keynote speaker, Kamales is known for delivering direct, pragmatic, and intellectually rigorous perspectives that challenge leaders to rethink how they design organizations, govern technology, and lead in an age of unprecedented technological power.
