In this episode of The Life @ AHEAD Podcast, we sit down with the leaders shaping how we Reimagine Our Business with AI—from client solutions to internal ways of working and learning.

We’re joined by Piotr Roszkowski and Donie Lochan, who lead AHEAD’s external and internal AI initiatives, and Anna Zide, whose team is building our internal AI training and enablement. Together, they explore how AI is transforming our business model, operating rhythm, and employee experience—from the platforms and solutions we deliver to clients, to the skills, guardrails, and behaviors we’re building inside AHEAD.

Across the conversation, we unpack where AI is already delivering impact, what’s changing in how we work and lead, and how every AHEADian can participate—no matter their role, region, or level of technical depth.

What does it really take to lead change well, especially in a company built for growth? In this episode of The Life at AHEAD Podcast, host Nick Rodriguez sits down with leaders across AHEAD to unpack how we navigate transformation with a people-first mindset. From mergers and acquisitions to major system shifts and evolving ways of working, this conversation explores how organizational change management helps teams stay aligned, engaged, and empowered – even when things are moving fast. You’ll hear from:

• Kelly Kennon, SVP of Enterprise Transformation

• Bryan Krup, Director of Organizational Change Management

• Rich Falcone, President of AHEAD

• Flavia Rigamonti, Head of Services Operations

Together, they share real stories, practical frameworks, and lessons learned – from combating change fatigue to building a change agent network, improving communication, and making change feel like something happening for people.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What change management means at AHEAD

• How AHEAD scaled from ad-hoc change support to a more consistent, repeatable approach

• Why transparency, empathy, and early involvement drive buy-in and belonging
