About

Most L&D teams face the same challenge: CEOs want "AI in learning," stakeholders demand courses, and you're expected to scale without growing your team. At Sana, I help L&D leaders build strategies that actually scale and use AI for real impact, not hype. I've helped build the Josh Bersin Academy (13k+ professionals), worked with 100+ companies from startups to enterprises, and been part of Sweden's AI Reform reaching 2.3 million people. I share what I'm learning in real-time—the experiments that work, the strategies that don't, and what actually moves the needle.
