As a best-selling author, a former 4xC-Suite executive for Fortune 100 companies (Sony, Merck, Estee Lauder, Royal Caribbean) and Amazon’s Head of Technology for North America (Startups Division), Sol’s breath and depth of experience managing both enterprise engagements and high-profile clients like Anthropic and Perplexity – give her a unique position as both a builder and visionary, as both technical and functional, and her relatability, approachability, and story-telling skills set her apart.

Sol is an adjunct professor at Carnegie Melon, a 3x TEDx speaker (2M+ views), and a senior Harvard Fellow studying the impact of AI on the workforce.

With the pervasive growth of AI & Automation, Sol’s focus is now on 1) AI Security & Governance (how do we scale AI in a healthy way) and 2) Workforce Preparation (how do we make sure AI amplifies us, and doesn’t erode us). As the inventor of The Human Amplification Index™, a platform that measures how well AI has strengthened both your business and workforce, Sol is helping enterprises, communities, and individuals evolve their roles, functions, and departments to adapt to the transformation AI is accelerating. Sol firmly believes that AI should amplify our skills and strengths and she’s helping the world uncover how to do so.

Sol’s work sits at the intersection of leadership, technology, and business transformation, helping organizations amplify impact through intelligent automation rather than replace human talent.

Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : FROM TALENT TAXONOMY TO ORGANIZATIONAL REDESIGN: REWRITING THE RULES OF WORK

The workforce is no longer organized by roles—it’s being restructured around capabilities, workflows, and human-AI collaboration. This keynote explores how traditional talent models are breaking down and what replaces them: dynamic skill architectures, AI-augmented teams, and flatter, faster organizations. Leaders will walk away with a blueprint for redesigning their workforce—from rigid hierarchies to adaptive systems built for continuous evolution.

Keynote #2 : AI IN YOUR INDUSTRY: WHAT’S ACTUALLY WORKING (AND WHAT’S NOT)

Every industry is experimenting with AI—but only a few are getting it right. This session brings an industry-specific lens to AI adoption, highlighting real-world use cases, measurable outcomes, and hard-earned lessons. From early wins to costly missteps, this keynote helps leaders understand where AI delivers value today, where it’s overhyped, and how to prioritize investments that drive competitive advantage.

Keynote #3 : STAYING RELEVANT IN THE AGE OF AI: REDEFINING VALUE, SKILLS, AND HUMAN POTENTIAL

As AI reshapes work, the question is no longer “Will my job change?”—but “Will I evolve with it?” This keynote focuses on how individuals and organizations can remain relevant by strengthening the uniquely human skills that AI cannot replace. Grounded in AI was meant to amplify your workforce and create force-multipliers, it offers a roadmap for building resilience, adaptability, and long-term value in a world where intelligence is increasingly augmented.
