Recommended Keynotes
Applied AI: What You Can Do Monday Morning
The 90-Day AI Roadmap for energy organizations: where to start, how to pilot, and how to scale. Covers predictive maintenance, customer engagement automation, AI-powered demand forecasting, and responsible deployment in regulated environments.
The Strategy of Now: Building Growth When Everything Is Changing
How energy leaders can identify which market signals — regulatory shifts, technology breakthroughs, capital flows, and talent movements — actually demand action versus which ones can be safely monitored. The Strategic Urgency framework gives leaders a systematic way to make those calls.
“Shama has this rare ability to make you feel both energized and clear-headed at the same time. She showed our audience how to spot timing windows that give them a massive competitive advantage.”
