Eric Sinoway
Eric Sinoway speaks to one of the defining leadership challenges of our time: as technology expands what is possible, who remains accountable for the decisions that shape organizations and lives?
A bestselling author of Howard’s Gift and the CEO of Pravi, Sinoway helps leaders strengthen judgment, decision making, and accountability in the age of AI. He is the architect of Humans Still Matter®, the operating lens he uses to help organizations determine what should be delegated to technology and what must remain an act of human judgment. At the center of his work is Decision Wisdom™, a framework for making deliberate trade-offs, choosing what matters, and owning consequences over time.
His signature keynote, “Humans Still Matter: Life and Leadership in the Age of AI”, gives leaders a clear and practical way to respond to rapid technological change without diffusing accountability, eroding culture, or weakening trust. Drawing on insights shaped by his long collaboration with Harvard Business School professor Howard H. Stevenson, as well as his own executive leadership experience across corporate, nonprofit, and academic institutions, Sinoway translates complex pressures into decisions leaders can act on immediately.
His thought leadership has been featured by Harvard Business Review, CNN, and Fortune. He is a graduate of Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration and the Harvard Kennedy School.

Humans Still Matter™: Leading and Succeeding in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
As artificial intelligence reshapes how organizations and people plan, work, and interact, a deeper truth is becoming clear: technology alone does not create the trust, loyalty, or meaning that organizations and individuals need for long term success and satisfaction. In a compelling keynote, Eric Sinoway reframes leadership, work, and service for the AI era by focusing on what cannot be automated—human judgment, empathy, values, and intentional choice.
Drawing on frameworks developed with iconic Harvard Business School professor Howard H. Stevenson, the father of entrepreneurial thinking, real-world leadership experience, and his bestselling book Howard’s Gift, Sinoway flips the AI narrative from fear and disruption to opportunity and hope. Through vivid, real-world examples of “winners and whoppers”—technology strategies that elevate customer experience and those that undermine it—audiences gain a clear, practical guide to building cultures, organizations, and careers where technology amplifies humanity rather than erodes it.
