Dr. Kion Ahadi has spent more than two decades helping organisations navigate complex periods of change. Today, he is Chief Executive of the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE), where he leads strategy, governance, operational performance, and the organisation's transition towards a digital-first, AI-enabled public service.
His career has put him on multiple sides of the leadership table. He has led research and transformation programmes, advised founders, served on boards, influenced national policy discussions, and worked with senior leaders to turn data and technology into practical outcomes. His work includes leading Future Worlds 2050 at The Law Society and research that contributed to Project Diamond, the diversity monitoring framework used by UK broadcasters.
For founders, Managing Partners, and CEOs of professional services firms, Kion's experience raises a bigger question than simply how to adopt AI: how do you build an organisation capable of adapting as the market changes? We get into how leaders earn trust, translate expertise into value, navigate complex buying decisions, build long-term relationships, develop teams, and use technology without losing the human judgement clients ultimately pay for.
Proposed Interview Structure:
1. You’ve spent more than 25 years across research, technology, policy, advisory work, and now executive leadership. What originally drew you into helping organisations solve complex problems, and how did that eventually lead you into the CEO and board-level work you do today?
2. When founders, boards, or leadership teams bring you in, what specific problems are they typically trying to solve, and why have those problems become personally important for you to work on?
3. Who is the ideal organisation or leadership team for the kind of advisory and transformation work you do, and who usually holds the decision to actually bring you in?
4. You’ve built an audience of more than 60,000 people by sharing your thinking around AI, leadership, technology, and transformation. How has that translated into opportunities, and what have you learned about using expertise and thought leadership to build trust before a commercial conversation even starts?
Current Acquisition Channels: Content, Webinars Speaking, engagements
Sub Question: What do you think about podcasts as a marketing and authority-building tool for professional services firms?
5. A lot of the work you do involves senior stakeholders, significant change, and decisions where trust matters. When you’re brought into those conversations, what helps move someone from recognising the problem to actually committing to working with you?
6. Once you’re working with a founder, board, or leadership team, how do you keep demonstrating value, build the relationship, and make sure they want to keep bringing you back?
7. With everything you’re doing across executive leadership, advisory work, boards, speaking, and writing, where do you find yourself most challenged right now, if at all?
8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for your work over the next few years?
