AI can do a lot of things. But building with a team that pushes boundaries, breaks rules, and actually gives a damn? That's still gloriously human.
Duy Anh Pham has spent his career at the forefront of deep tech and design, from cinematography and color science to leading AI product innovation today. He brings a founder-style mentality to everything he touches, building products that tackle challenges once considered unsolvable and teams that are bold enough to go after them. He's the kind of leader who walks in, flips the script, and somehow gets everyone fired up to go further than they thought possible. Someone who hears "that'll never work" as an invitation.
In this talk, he'll get into what it actually takes to build the kind of team AI simply can't replicate, the skills that matter now, the mindset shifts that unlock real change, and why trust, in your people and in yourself, and the imagination to see what's not there yet, might just be the most powerful combination in the room. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just honest stories, hard-won lessons, and a fresh take on what creative leadership really looks like when the rules are being rewritten in real time.
Main Topics:
What does the team of the future actually look like, and what can't AI ever replace?
Which skills should we all be obsessing over right now?
How do you lead in a way that earns trust, disrupts with purpose, and keeps people with you through it all?
