Leadership Voices

What leaders are saying about enterprise AI adoption

Direct quotes from executives who have successfully transformed their organizations through AI.

"This is as significant as the PC was to the '80s, the Web in the '90s, mobile in the 2000s, cloud in the 2010s."

Satya Nadella

CEO, Microsoft

"AI is doing 30% to 50% of the work at Salesforce now. We won't be hiring any additional software engineers, customer service agents, or lawyers."

Marc Benioff

CEO, Salesforce

"It isn't voluntary to use AI or not. If you don't use it, you will never be promoted. You won't get a job."

Nicolai Tangen

CEO, NBIM ($1.8T Sovereign Fund)

"From this point forward, we will be managing not only human workers but also digital workers."

Marc Benioff

World Economic Forum, Davos 2025

"I don't need to see more evidence to know that this is working and is going to make a real difference."

Satya Nadella

On Microsoft Copilot adoption

"This exciting expansion will help our clients accelerate the shift from experimenting to production deployments."

Julie Sweet

Chair & CEO, Accenture

The untapped opportunity isn't optimizing IT. It's enabling everyone else.

When non-technical employees can build their own tools: Finance creates budget dashboards without waiting for IT. Marketing automates campaigns in hours, not weeks. Operations builds process tools that solve problems only they understand. The people closest to the work become the ones solving the problems.
