Speaking

AI is solving the driving problem. The leaders who win are the ones who decide where the machine should go. I help consumer leadership teams find that decision and act on it before their competitors do.

Signature keynote

The Destination Problem: Winning When the Consumer Enterprise Drives Itself

AI is solving the driving problem. Demand is sensed rather than surveyed, supply chains rebalance themselves, and agents are starting to do the shopping. But a self-driving enterprise does not choose its destination. Drawing on what Walmart, Kroger, PepsiCo, and Marriott are doing right now, Anubhav Pateriya shows why execution is going abundant, why judgment is becoming the moat, and how the leaders pulling away decide where to point the machine before they switch it on. The audience leaves with a framework for the three destination choices only leadership can make.

What the room walks away with

• The three destination questions: a framework to separate the choices AI can make from the ones only leaders can.
• A sharper read on where margin and moat move as execution commoditizes.
• Current, concrete examples across CPG, retail, and travel they can act on immediately.
• The one diagnostic question to put on their own board agenda.

Also speaks on

• When the Shopper is an Algorithm: winning the agent's pick as commerce goes agentic (retail).
• Decision Engineering, Pricing Power in the AI Era: where the moat lives when everyone rents the same optimizer (CPG and revenue growth management).
