Brandon McCormick
Global Head of Alpha Intelligence, AI & Automation
State Street
I came to automation through testing and business process engineering rather than the technical path, so I know firsthand how intimidating AI and process automation can feel to people who don't see themselves as technical. In building an automation and AI Center of Excellence for a 1,500-person division, I've seen that the barrier is rarely ability; it's access and confidence. I'm excited to help the council make these skills practical and approachable for the next generation of talent.
