I was so inspired by my conversation with Lan Guan, Accenture’s Chief AI Officer. We discussed her inspiring career journey in AI and the valuable career insights she learned along the way. Lan discussed the importance of preparation to stay agile, the value of a fluid skillset, the significance of work-life balance and mental health, the impact of mentors and practical career advice, and so much more. The conversation was deeply insightful, and I’m grateful to Lan for sharing more about her lived experience and perspectives. I hope her advice and story resonates with you as much as it did with me! Be sure to watch the full video for more details and inspiration: https://lnkd.in/g3K2_x2j Video Description: Lan Guan, Accenture Chief AI Officer, and Jill Kramer, Accenture CMCO, are sitting in beige armchairs, engaged in conversation. They are facing each other, with a small table holding two glasses of water between them. The background features a blurred cityscape visible through a large screen or window. The video is divided into four sections that read: "Fortune Favors the Prepared", "Multidisciplinary Thinking", "Wisdom in Perspective", "Mentorship and Advice". The background is blurred, but other out-of-focus elements suggest a television studio setting. The conversation between them is illustrated with different images: a person working on a laptop, a modern office or co-working space with soft lighting, team meetings in the workplace, people chatting. The video ends with the Accenture logo in bold, black lettering and the purple Greater Than symbol].
Congrats! 🎉
Would be great to hear more about how lived experiences shape decision-making in tech-driven environments
Congrats! 🎉
In a space moving this fast, grounded stories matter more than predictions. AI isn’t just tech—it’s tension. Between scale and trust. Speed and intention. Grateful for conversations that hold both sides with clarity and care.
Every founder talking scale is now asking one thing. How do I systemize sales with AI before my competitor does. 👍 👍 👍
