Recorded live at Techonomy 25, this week’s episode of Power & Impact brings together two voices thinking deeply about where creativity and leadership are headed: Sergio Lopez Ferrero, CEO of Omnicom Production and a global leader in AI-driven brand storytelling, and Dr. Bobbi Wegner, a Harvard lecturer focused on team health, connection, and performance. Their conversation cuts through the noise around artificial intelligence to focus on what actually matters. Sergio and Bobbi talk about how AI is changing the way we create and lead, the role of craft in an era of rapid automation, and why human connection remains the foundation of great teams and great work. Along the way, we explore creativity as a source of exponential impact and the future of work as something shaped by entirely new capabilities we’re just beginning to understand. It’s a candid, forward-looking discussion about change, responsibility, and opportunity. If you’re thinking about how to lead, create, and build meaningful connections in a fast-moving world, this episode offers both clarity and optimism about what comes next.
