Pamela Potts, CPHR, PCC helps HR leaders and executives navigate what AI is changing about leadership, decision-making, and human capability. As CEO of Rysa Leadership, she works at the intersection of AI disruption, leadership maturity, and people systems.

Pamela speaks on why AI makes leadership development a strategic risk issue, not a skills issue; how vertical development explains what AI can replace and what it cannot; and the role HR must play in building judgment, sensemaking, and ethical leadership capacity in an AI-influenced world. She translates adult development theory into practical implications for talent strategy, succession, and executive effectiveness. She is the author of the forthcoming book The Architecture of Growth.
