Hiam Sakakini is the Founder of The Culture Equation and a former Google leader known for building high-performing teams and courageous cultures. She helps scaling companies align their leadership, culture, and systems—especially in fast-moving, founder-led environments. Her consultancy blends strategy, evidence-based practices, and executive coaching to help teams thrive at the intersection of people and performance.
As startups scale and AI adoption accelerates, culture can become the silent casualty. In this session, Hiam Sakakini explores how leaders can embed AI into their orgs without losing what makes their teams human. Drawing from her experience at Google and with startups like Brighte and Procreate, Hiam shares practical strategies to support founders, align teams, and ensure culture doesn’t become collateral damage. If AI is here, your culture should be ready.
