About Alex Schwartz

Most AI transformations don’t fail because the technology isn’t good enough.They fail because leaders can’t see what’s actually happening inside their own organizations.I’ve spent years working at the intersection of AI, digital transformation, and workforce readiness — first in consulting, then as the founder of The Disrupted Workforce, and now as the founder of hmn. Across all of it, I kept seeing the same pattern repeat: • Executives believe the strategy is clear. Employees can\'t explain it. • Leaders assume AI is being adopted. Teams are using unapproved tools in silence. • Training gets rolled out. But people don\'t have the permission, safety, or time to change how work actually gets done. I call that disconnect the Reality Gap — and it\'s where AI investments stall. One thing I\'ve learned along the way:\"Shadow AI\" users aren\'t automatically your compliance problem. They\'re often your early adopters — your proof that value is already being created. If you can find them, learn from them, and build the right guardrails and operating system around them, they become your advantage. That\'s why I built hmn. Today, I work directly with CEOs, COOs, CTOs, CMOs and CFOs to close the gap between AI strategy and execution by accelerating the human side of AI transformation. My work typically includes:• AI strategy and executive alignment• AI development and implementation tailored to real workflows• Upskilling leaders and teams for practical, role-based AI fluency• Adoption systems that reduce risk, surface reality, and make change stick• Human skills development — judgment, leadership, and collaboration in the AI ageAt the core of everything I do is a simple belief: technology moves fast, but humans adapt on human timelines. The organizations that understand this — and invest in their people accordingly — will outperform those chasing the next shiny tool.If you’ve invested in AI and aren’t seeing results, the problem usually isn’t ambition or technology. It’s alignment, capability, and adoption — and those are fixable. DM me “REALITY” for a fast, honest snapshot of what’s actually happening inside your organization — or “ACCELERATE” if you’re ready to close the gap.

Experience

1. Founder

   Behmn

   Nov 2025 — Present · Miami, FL, US

   I founded hmn after years of watching the same pattern repeat across digital and AI transformation initiatives:Leadership teams invest in AI.AI strategy decks get approved.AI pilots launch.Then… execution stalls.Not because the technology failed — but because no one closed the gap between AI strategy and the people responsible for execution.I refer to this as the Reality Gap — the space where most AI transformation, AI adoption, and change management efforts quietly break down.Before founding behmn, I founded The Disrupted Workforce, spent years in digital transformation consulting, and worked closely with hundreds of executives and frontline teams on AI readiness, workforce transformation, and generative AI adoption. What I consistently found: leaders and operators live in different realities — and AI initiatives fail when that gap isn’t addressed.Closing the strategy-to-execution gap is now my entire focus.Today, I work directly with CEOs, COOs, CTOs, CMOs and CFO\'s to accelerate the human side of AI transformation, including:→ AI strategy and executive alignment→ AI development and implementation tailored to real enterprise workflows→ Upskilling leaders and teams for practical, role-based AI fluency→ AI adoption systems that reduce risk, surface shadow AI, and make change stick→ Human skills development — judgment, leadership, and collaboration in the AI agehmn exists because your AI strategy is only as fast as your people.We accelerate the people behind execution.If your organization has invested in enterprise AI or generative AI but isn’t seeing results, the problem usually isn’t ambition or technology — it’s alignment, capability, and adoption. And those are fixable.
