speaker Bio: 

Mark Breslin is a pioneering figure in the corporate AI arena, known for being the first Chief AI Officer at a FTSE 100 company. With a background in leading AI Centers of Excellence and driving digital transformation at scale, Mark operates at the intersection of data, technology, and business strategy. He co-founded Amplifi & Impact, a consultancy focused on infusing AI into B2B operations, and has become a thought leader on how organizations can move from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI adoption. Mark is widely recognized as a global expert in artificial intelligence and business transformation, known for translating cutting-edge AI concepts into actionable strategies for growth.

In his previous role as Chief Product & Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer at Informa (a major FTSE 100 firm), Mark oversaw the deployment of AI solutions across diverse business units. He not only implemented AI-driven products but also established an AI Centre of Excellence to elevate AI literacy and governance company-wide. These experiences fuel his keynote speeches with rich case studies: he shares candid lessons of what worked, what failed, and why in Fortune 500 AI initiatives. For instance, Mark often discusses how aligning AI projects with clear KPIs and involving cross-functional teams can turn a promising pilot into a scalable success – a topic he’s so passionate about that one of his popular talks is literally “Scaling AI: From Pilot to Enterprise-Wide Implementation.”

Mark’s style is straight-talking and pragmatic. He acknowledges that 80% of leaders haven’t been given the fundamentals to be truly effective with AI, leaving significant performance potential untapped. To bridge this gap, Mark educates executives on core concepts like data governance, model lifecycle management, and change leadership in the context of AI. He is also a strong advocate for focusing on the human side of AI adoption: in his view, success depends as much on change management, workforce training, and breaking down silos as it does on algorithms. In fact, colleagues have noted that Mark excels at emphasizing the “human throughline” in AI projects – reminding organizations that technology is only as effective as the people who use it and trust it.
