As AI transforms marketing and reshapes organizations, what skills and leadership qualities will matter most? Richard Sanderson, Partner at Spencer Stuart, explores how companies are rethinking talent, adapting team structures, and balancing automation with human judgment.

Richard Sanderson is a Chicago‑based Partner and Consultant at Spencer Stuart, where he advises CEOs, boards, and people leaders on recruiting and retaining transformational marketing, customer, and growth executives. His work spans all industries, and he is retained to solve some of the most complex leadership mandates that require a nuanced understanding of modern marketing, product, and customer strategy.  Over the years, Richard has shaped high‑impact executive searches ranging from Chief Marketing Officers to senior customer, brand, digital, growth and experience leaders across a range of Fortune 500 companies, middle-market private equity backed businesses, and early-stage category disruptors.
