The role of leadership is evolving faster than ever. Today’s leaders aren’t just signing off on tech budgets - they're setting digital strategy, driving AI and data innovations, and reimagining how organisations think, work and grow. But this shift isn’t only about executives at the top. From emerging leaders to seasoned directors, every role has a part to play in building a culture where digital-first thinking and innovation thrive.
In this discussion, we sit down with Michael Titshall (CEO, APAC & Global Head of AI Products at R/GA) and Brooke Roberts (Co-founder and CEO of Sharesies) - three leaders who are redefining what it means to lead in a digital-first world. They’ll share candid stories, bold insights and practical lessons from the frontlines of transformation.
We will explore:
- How leaders at all levels leverage technology to make smarter, faster decisions
- What it takes to guide teams through constant disruption
- Strategies to bridge the gap between leadership and technical teams to accelerate transformation
- What Gen Z and future generations really want from their leaders, from purpose and authenticity to flexibility and inclusivity
- Practical steps for building a truly digital-first culture that sticks
Whether you’re a senior executive, department head, or early in your career and driving digital initiatives, this session provides real-world examples, actionable lessons, and inspiration for leading with impact in the digital age.
