The defining voice on what it means to lead in the age of artificial intelligence.
Severin Sorensen is an executive coach and author who has spent nearly three decades helping senior leaders think with greater clarity, decide with greater confidence, and build organizations capable of thriving through change. Through the AI Whisperer series, he has become the defining voice on what it means to lead wisely in the age of artificial intelligence; not as a technologist, but as a practitioner who has sat across the table from hundreds of executives facing the hardest decisions of their careers.
Severin operates from a simple conviction: knowledge should be free, and execution is what you actually pay for. Across hundreds of Vistage presentations and executive engagements, he has become known as the speaker who gives everything away—the frameworks, the tools, the reasoning behind the reasoning—because his goal is for you to leave better equipped than when you arrived. Full AI improv: every session built live from the real challenges in the room and shaped in the moment for the people in it.
