About Michael Pompey

For two decades, I led technology transformations in mission-driven and public sector organizations where the stakes were always human — children, families, communities. In those roles, I learned a truth that has never changed: technology is never the hero. People are.As an AI Evangelist, I focus on separating hype from reality and helping leaders see AI not as a buzzword, but a catalyst for meaningful change. Because quality AI doesn’t start with perfect data - it starts with the courage to begin. And the most important work isn’t in the algorithm - it’s 10 inches from the keyboard, your people.This is a message I continually share with audiences at the Philly Tech Council, The Channel Company, Satell Institute, NJ SIM, Villanova University, and others. Each conversation is about sparking a shift: from hesitation to action, from curiosity to clarity, from potential to impact.If you’re a business leader, tech executive, or event organizer looking for an inspiring guide to cut through the AI noise and unlock its real strategic value, Let’s Do This!
