Shujaat Ahmad's Linkedin Analytics

I am a founder, a cultural change broker, and people champion dedicated to making work a platform for building purposeful lives, ultimately fueling a more purposeful society. I empower leaders to navigate the AI era by designing AI-augmented organizations that drive innovation, productivity, and human-centered cultures. My “prosperity-first” approach to AI prioritizes not only productivity but also human well-being, inclusivity, and innovation, enabling technology to enhance creativity, foster inclusive cultures, and unlock equitable opportunities. With expertise in people analytics, strategic foresight, AI, future-of-work, and community building, I bring a forward-thinking yet practical approach to integrating AI into organizational design, culture, leadership, and talent strategy. My career spans consulting and industry roles across globally recognized brands, providing me with a holistic perspective on both business and social impact. I led a pioneering team at LinkedIn, developing insights that dispelled myths and empowered executives to make human-centered decisions amid technological and cultural shifts. With an MBA from Wharton in strategy and organizational effectiveness and a BASc in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in robotics) from the University of Toronto, I bridge the technical and human aspects of AI to help leaders thrive in this transformative era. As a trusted advisor and pioneer in the future of work and culture change space, I am a frequent keynote speaker at international conferences, offsites, and roundtables. I engage audiences on the intersections of AI, talent, and social impact. My perspectives have been featured in top industry thought leadership, and I collaborate with other thought leaders on generative AI’s role in business and social innovation. As an advisor to AI startups, I guide on leveraging AI for enhancing human creativity, ethical AI implementation, and reskilling, aligning technology’s potential with human-centered values. I help organizations become engines of social impact, bridging opportunity gaps, reskilling marginalized communities, and reducing inequities in an AI-driven future. For leaders committed to meaningful change, I offer a proven approach that combines strategic guidance with deep insights into talent, culture, and technology. I invite fellow leaders to join me on a journey toward a future of work that is purpose-driven—where we obsess over growth for both the business and every individual within it.
