Erika Lenz
Erika has spent fifteen years helping organizations navigate big technology changes — as an agile coach, product leader, and transformation consultant at companies from startups to Fortune 100s. The thing she learned is that the barrier to adopting new technology is almost never the technology. It's whether people feel safe enough to explore and trusted enough to make the work their own. She has led agentic AI programs at scale, co-founded WhisperQuake (a healthcare AI company), and runs Denver's Human-Centric AI meetup.
Erika built relationships with several senior technical leaders who were crucial for success, helping them transition from detractors to active leaders through training and weekly group coaching sessions. She was instrumental in helping teams evolve into high-performing, cross-functional teams. Her work enabled many team members to step into greater self-power, ownership, and deeper teaming with others.
