AI & Future of Work Keynote Speaker, Former CEO

AI is changing what’s possible. People still decide what's next.

I help leaders and teams see what’s real, cut through the hype, and act on what matters. The tools are evolving. The hard part is still human.

Trusted by executive teams, global brands, and corporate leaders making the high-stakes decisions that define the next 1,000 days. 

See Anat in Action

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of consumer trends and technological disruption. From my time as a Hollywood executive to scaling Mike’s Hard Lemonade into a $200 million brand, I’ve learned that the biggest challenge isn’t the technology itself—it’s how we lead through the change. 

Right now, we are in the middle of an AI transformation that is moving faster than any previous industrial shift. Most organizations are stuck in ‘pilot purgatory,’ running experiments that never scale. My goal is to help you move from strategy to operating results. We have to stop talking about ‘Humans vs. AI’ and start solving the ‘Human + AI Equation’.

It’s about understanding where AI belongs and where human judgment remains non-negotiable and uniquely essential. We are building the future of work today, and it requires a CEO’s perspective on accountability, innovation, and what it really takes to stay relevant in a world of constant distraction. Let’s talk about how you can turn this disruption into your greatest competitive advantage.”

What I Speak About

Different topics, same goal: helping your team make better decisions as AI reshapes how work gets done. 

Why a Former CEO Changes the Conversation

I’ve spent my career leading through disruption across hospitality, entertainment, consumer products, media, and technology. I’ve built companies, led teams, managed P&L, and made consequential decisions in markets where there was no obvious playbook. I’m best known for scaling Mike’s Hard Lemonade to more than $200 million in three years, despite being allergic to alcohol. But that is one chapter. My AI work draws on the full breadth of that operating career: helping leaders and teams decide what stays human-led, what can be AI-augmented, what can be automated, and where judgment matters most.
