Huawei Global Interview Feature

(April 2026) Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of how companies experiment, build, and compete. Yet many organizations take a scattershot approach, launching pilots and prototypes that don’t add up to a clear strategy. That’s the challenge identified by Chris Heemskerk, Founder and CEO of The Innovation Alliance and former Head of Scaled Acquisitions at Google. Heemskerk argues that real innovation requires a clear sense of where AI fits within the organization’s strategy, how it creates value, and which opportunities are worth pursuing. In a Transform Talks interview with Huawei’s Executive Editor-in-Chief Gavin Allen, Heemskerk explains how AI can evolve from a tool for efficiency to a driver of strategy.

I recently had the opportunity to be featured at Huawei's Global Transform Talks series, talking about Innovation Strategy in the evolving AI paradigm. A conversation with the legendary Gavin Allen, Huawei's exec editor-in-chief and former BBC News Board Director.

Dear Gavin, it was such a pleasure to have this conversation with you, and I truly appreciate the work you and your team put into bringing this series to life!
