Human-centered leadership in the age of AI – Fireside Chat with Nicole Bruno
For this episode of e-Core’s Fireside Chat, we explore how trusted advisor relationships help organizations unlock the true potential of human-AI collaboration. Host Dan Teixeira, NA Managing Director at e-Core, sits down with Nicole Bruno, Head of Client Strategy and Success at e-Core, to reflect on the importance of empathy and human connection in tech-enabled environments.
While AI and frameworks can optimize our processes, it’s people who bring creativity, problem-solving, and transformation to life. From navigating strategic pivots to supporting executive teams, the conversation dives into how building trust and truly listening to clients leads to smarter collaboration and better outcomes, with or without AI.
As Nicole puts it, “people are the work.” And in a world of increasing automation, this episode reminds us why putting humans first is what makes change sustainable.
Join us as we explore ways of leveraging team collaboration in an AI era with a human-centered mindset.
