I am honored to be invited to speak and moderate a private VIP dinner on AI Governance & Strategic Oversight at Israel Tech Week in Miami on April 26.

This invitation-only discussion will convene a select group of Corporate Directors and CEOs around a critical boardroom question:

How should boards govern AI while driving enterprise value and managing risk?

As AI reshapes competitive advantage across industries, boardrooms must evolve - from oversight to informed, strategic leadership.

This session will focus on:
• Board-level AI strategy and value creation
• Governance, risk, and regulatory accountability
• Building AI fluency within the boardroom
• Practical frameworks emerging in environments

This will be a highly curated, off-the-record conversation designed for experienced public Board Directors.

If you are a Corporate Director based in Miami and would value participating in this discussion, comment below or message me directly.

Looking forward to a focused and substantive exchange with peers shaping the future of governance.

Leadership Lessons from a Raptors Win

There’s something powerful about watching a team come together under pressure. The Toronto Raptors’ win last night was a reminder that success isn’t just about talent — it’s about trust, preparation, and the ability to execute when it matters.

Great teams, whether on the court or in the boardroom, share the same fundamentals:
• Clarity of roles
• Resilience in tough moments
• Collective accountability
• Leaders who elevate everyone around them

Thank you to Bennett Jones for the invitation and the opportunity to share the energy of the game with exceptional leaders. Moments like this reinforce how much high performance starts with culture and teamwork.

What is your biggest win?

This is a tremendous accomplishment and I would like to acknowledge our partners, the Rotman School of Management, program faculty, our graduates, for being valued supporters and contributors to the success of the program.

We are delighted with the overwhelming success of the DEP, as well as with the calibre of directors, senior business leaders and government officials who have participated across the country.
 
As you move forward, you will be navigating a business climate that has been dramatically altered. Evolving roles and expectations of boards, public accountability, and shareholder activism will remain priorities for board directors, investors, employees for the foreseeable future.
 
As graduates of the DEP, you are now ambassadors and important members of this growing community of directors and executives who have demonstrated their commitment to achieving the highest standard of directorship in Canada.
