“It was a pleasure to have Katie as our Keynote speaker recently for the Infosys ‘Always on Marketer’ event. Katie not only brings deep knowledge and expertise on AI but also has an enigmatic personality to capture the audience and deliver the right message. Katie can speak to different stakeholders depending on their digital maturity, their geography and industry. Some of the examples of her work in her book were inspiring. She talked about the hands-on experience of using AI and discussed both successes and failures of organisations whom she researched. I would highly recommend her for any AI related conversation, be it an event, a round table or a consulting exercise where you need someone to keep you honest about AI adoption.” -Aakanksha Mishra, Digital Egagement Manager, Infosys
