What if the future of careers isn’t about résumés or job titles but about fit? Avi Steinlauf and Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, co-founders of myTrudy, explore how personality science and AI are reshaping career decisions, helping people move from static search to dynamic, human-centered reinvention in a rapidly changing world of work.

Avi Steinlauf is the CEO and Co-Founder of myTrudy, a personality-driven career intelligence platform using validated psychometrics and AI to help individuals and organizations make better, fit-first career decisions. At myTrudy, Avi is building a new category at the intersection of human potential, data platforms, and the future of work. Prior to myTrudy, Avi spent more than two decades at Edmunds, where he served as CEO and led the company through its successful sale to CarMax. Under his leadership, Edmunds scaled into one of the internet’s most trusted consumer marketplaces, known for its data-driven products, industry transparency, and market influence. Avi holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University.

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is the chief science officer at Russell Reynolds Associates, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, a cofounder of MyTrudy.com, and an associate at Harvard’s Entrepreneurial Finance Lab. He is the author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (and How to Fix It) (Harvard Business Review Press, 2019), upon which his TED talk was based, and  I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique, (Harvard Business Review Press, 2023).
