Sarika Lamont
She is a business-minded People Executive who just happens to sit in HR.
Her philosophy is simple: build systems where business growth and human growth go hand-in-hand. She designs high-accountability, high-performance cultures rooted in clarity, inclusion, and trust—especially in remote-first environments where connection and communication define success.
Today, she leads an AI and automation transformation across her organization, reimagining how work gets done through smart, secure, and human-centered adoption of AI. Her focus is on enablement—helping every team understand, embrace, and apply AI to work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.
Beyond her company, she advances the conversation on AI in HR and the future of work—guiding leaders to move beyond fear (“Will AI take my job?”) toward opportunity (“What happens when we do use AI?”). Whether through speaking, advising, or community building, she helps HR professionals and executives harness AI not just as a tool, but as a mindset shift that drives culture, capability, and business growth.

• Leading through ambiguity, complexity, and rapid change
