How HR Leads in an AI-First Company
AI has officially moved past experimentation.
In 2026, the real challenge is how to embed AI into your business strategy, while keeping humans firmly in the loop.
In this episode of Pulse, we chat with Melissa Lemberg, VP of Digital Transformation & AI Strategy at LogicMonitor, to unpack what responsible, measurable AI adoption looks like inside complex organizations.
Melissa brings nearly 30 years of experience leading large-scale, human-centered transformation across Fortune 100 and high-growth companies. Together, we explore AI through an executive and HR lens, especially for private-equity–backed companies where value creation timelines are tight and metrics matter.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
Why AI shouldn’t live in a standalone “AI strategy”
How to tie AI directly to business metrics like revenue per employee and EBITDA
What human-in-the-loop AI looks like in real workflows
How HR can partner with executives, IT, and the board to lead adoption
How to build an AI-curious culture that drives experimentation and results
If you’re an HR leader being told to “go do something with AI,” this episode gives you a practical framework to lead with confidence.
