Shellye Archambeau built Ignite Ambition to close the mentorship gap for early and mid-career professionals facing consequential career decisions. This fireside chat covered career navigation, leading through complexity, and the transition from senior executive to founder — including why AI governance is the defining leadership competency of this decade.

Most enterprises are still closing foundational governance gaps — but agentic AI is already moving into production, and tiered LLM-SLM architectures are next. Presented at the Corporate Governance & Ethics in the Age of AI conference, this session covers what boards and risk leaders need to prepare for before accountability diffuses across the model stack.

I presented at Yale School of Management on what actually works when AI moves from theory into regulated, high-stakes environments. The session covered the PRIME framework — a practical operating system for evaluating AI use cases, designing controls, and building the evidence trail that boards and regulators require.
