About Ken Stewart

I help organizations rewire how work works—so their systems scale with AI, and people remain essential.

With 25+ years leading delivery and transformation across startups, scale-ups, and Fortune 500s, I’ve spent my career at the collision point between strategy and execution. I help companies move fast—without leaving their people behind.

Today, that work looks different.
Because the rules of execution are being rewritten in real time.

The rise of Generative AI isn’t just a technology shift—it’s a work redesign event. Skills are shifting. Roles are blurring. Machines are taking over tasks—but humans still carry the judgment, oversight, and context that keep work grounded in meaning.

I help leaders navigate that shift.
From designing AI-integrated operating layers, to redistributing skill across hybrid teams, to preparing people for roles that didn’t exist two years ago—I partner with organizations to build systems that are human on purpose.

I bring strategic grounding from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, paired with applied expertise in agentic-AI systems design and deployment from AI Build Labs—an elite, practitioner-led platform helping operators scale execution with next-gen tools.

Through ChangeForge, I advise, teach, and help leaders build the future of work before it arrives and reorganizes them first.

And through writing and education, I help individuals lead from the new middle—where oversight, orchestration, and meaning still live.

If your system no longer works—for your market or your people—let’s build one that does.
