What happens in the room

Bring one of your executives and a real business challenge.

You do not need to arrive with a technical idea. You need to arrive with a challenge your business keeps working around: a manual process, a slow decision, scattered data, repetitive work, or a workflow that has not scaled with the company. And, it’s ideal if you bring the executive who owns this opportunity/challenge.

We’ll help you pressure-test that challenge through an AI readiness lens and begin translating it into an AI-ready workflow, prototype direction, or build-ready brief.

Come prepared to work on your business.

Bring

One real challenge.

One real business challenge, workflow, or process you believe AI could improve. You do not need a technical background — just a problem worth solving.

Leave With

A clearer path forward.

A clearer readiness lens, one mapped challenge, a prototype direction or build-ready brief, and a better understanding of where human judgment and AI-enabled talent fit in your business.

Speakers

Co-created by David Nilssen, Dave Hajdu and Dr. Brooks Holtom.

David Nilssen

Your Presenter

David Nilssen has built two companies from nothing into category-defining businesses. Guidant Financial helped more than 30,000 entrepreneurs secure $7 billion to start or buy businesses across all 50 states. DOXA Talent now operates a 1,000-person distributed workforce across six countries with no headquarters, no office space, and no traditional playbook — just high-performing teams doing real work across time zones every day.

Along the way, David's companies have been named to the Inc. 500/5000 list six times (#230 in 2025), earned more than ten "Best Places to Work" honors (#19 in the Philippines in 2025), and proven that scale and culture are not opposing forces. He currently serves on the boards of DOXA Talent, Guidant Financial, and the AI Officer Institute, and previously served on the Entrepreneurs' Organization's Global Board of Directors. A two-time TEDx speaker and SBA National Young Entrepreneur of the Year, David brings a builder's perspective to the future of work, remote teams, and what it really takes to scale a business without losing the soul of it.

Dave Hajdu

Co-Creator · AI Implementation

Dave has spent 25 years at the intersection of technology and business — from Microsoft to co-founding TINYpulse (acquired by WebMD). He founded the AI Officer Institute on one conviction: most companies get nothing back from AI because nobody in the room knows how to lead it.

Dr. Brooks C. Holtom

Co-Creator · Leadership Research

Professor of Management at Georgetown University and former Senior Associate Dean at its business school. Dr. Holtom co-created the leadership curriculum that opens this session.

AI in Action is independently hosted by DOXA Talent. Georgetown University does not sponsor, certify, or approve this event.
