Leading After Anderson: Dan Priest, Chief AI Officer - PwC

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 5:15 PM in Crown Auditorium for a special evening – our second Leading After Anderson event. 

We are honored to host Dan Priest, Chief AI Officer at PwC, to discuss the transformative role of AI and how we, as the next generation of leaders, can think strategically and responsibly about its use — e.g., 
 

• How should executives approach AI as a strategic force shaping the future of business?
   
• In what ways will AI transform the future of work, and what capabilities must emerging leaders — such as Anderson students — develop to be prepared?
   
• Which industries are poised to be most significantly disrupted by AI, and what underlying characteristics make them especially susceptible to change?
   
• As AI and the agentic workforce drives the need for “AI generalists,” what skills and capabilities will professionals need to thrive in an increasingly intelligent workplace?
