In this episode of Swimming with Sharks, Kevin Dean sits down with David Pearlman, Senior Director of Education at Adobe, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping enterprise operations, leadership, and the way we learn.

Drawing on decades of experience at Microsoft and Adobe, David shares how AI is helping reduce noise in the workplace, accelerating asynchronous education, and redefining the role of leadership. From improving email efficiency to navigating shadow AI and compliance, this conversation cuts through the hype and gets to the heart of what meaningful AI adoption looks like.

What you'll learn:

• How AI helps leaders focus on people, not process
  Why personalized learning is replacing traditional models
• The risks of shadow AI and the importance of governance
• How AI can elevate — not eliminate — human work

This is a practical, insightful conversation for business leaders, educators, and enterprise professionals preparing for what’s next.
