Leading Through the AI Economy
John Winsor has spent two decades examining how work changes and what leaders need when familiar approaches no longer apply. He argues that AI is fundamentally a human and organizational challenge. As access to powerful AI becomes increasingly widespread, he focuses on the qualities that remain distinctly valuable for leaders: curiosity, judgment, adaptability, and the ability to act when the path is unclear.
John is the author of the forthcoming The Explorer’s Mindset and the best-selling Open Talent. He is an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School’s AI Institute, where his research focuses on AI and the future of work. His ideas have also appeared regularly in Harvard Business Review and Forbes. He is described in the provided material as the top AI author in Harvard Business Review, with seven articles published in eighteen months and two more forthcoming.
An entrepreneur and six-time founder, John has exited companies for more than $100 million. He founded Open Assembly and has advised Fortune 500 companies, startups, consulting firms, and private equity. His career has placed him at the intersection of innovation, open talent, organizational change, and the evolving relationship between people and work.
When the Mountain Moves
John’s perspective on uncertainty is also grounded in personal experience. In 1993, he was one of fourteen expert skiers caught in a thousand-foot avalanche. The group had checked the conditions and believed the slope was stable, yet the mountain moved anyway.
That experience informs the central idea behind his speaking on AI leadership. Leaders can have data, expertise, and an approved plan and still encounter conditions that change faster than their assumptions. John uses that experience to examine how leaders respond when certainty disappears and why the ability to explore, learn, reframe, and move has become increasingly important.
A skier, surfer, and climber, John brings lessons from the mountains as well as the boardroom to his work with senior leaders and teams. His keynotes challenge audiences to reconsider the value of expertise in an AI-driven economy and develop the capacity to navigate work that has never been mapped.
