Helping AI Leaders Scale with Purpose and Impact

Charlie Hugh-Jones | Executive Coach

Charlie helps senior AI leaders — Chief AI Officers, founders, funders, and regulators — lead with greater clarity, alignment, and impact in a time of accelerating complexity.

As AI reshapes the future of work, governance, and human experience, leaders are facing new kinds of pressure:

  • The velocity of change is increasing

  • Ethical stakes are rising

  • Traditional leadership maps no longer apply

Charlie partners with leaders at the forefront of this transition — those developing, deploying, or regulating AI to solve complex, systemic challenges. Through deep coaching and strategic advisory, he helps them navigate not just what’s changing around them, but what’s emerging within them.

Over the past 15+ years, Charlie has coached hundreds of leaders across Fortune 500s, non-profits, health systems, government, and high-growth tech companies. A former international project finance attorney, global division head, and founder, he brings a rare blend of operational experience, systems thinking, and human-centered leadership to his work.

His approach draws on the CAPEx framework (Conceptualize, Assess, Plan, Execute) and is deeply informed by the study of neurobiology, positive psychology, and a range of wisdom and contemplative traditions. The result is a coaching experience that is both strategic and transformational — enabling leaders to become more grounded, adaptive, and intentional in how they lead people, teams, and systems.

Whether you’re clarifying your AI strategy, building a high-integrity innovation culture, or balancing speed with responsible leadership, Charlie offers a space to think, feel, and lead more consciously — with greater resilience, focus, and alignment.

Experience a Different Kind of Leadership Conversation

In a world moving at exponential speed, AI leaders are being asked to navigate ethical uncertainty, strategic complexity, and personal responsibility — often without a map, and often alone.

The AI Leadership Compass Session is a 60-minute, one-on-one strategic coaching experience designed to offer something rare:

A trusted space to pause, reflect, and realign.

This isn’t a sales pitch.

It’s a powerful conversation for senior AI leaders who want to explore:

  • Where you are in your leadership journey — and what’s shifting beneath the surface

  • The tensions and trade-offs you’re holding as you scale, innovate, or regulate

  • What it means to lead with more clarity, connection, and systemic impact

  • How to lead not just more effectively, but more intentionally

You’ll leave with:

  • Greater insight into your leadership landscape

  • A clearer sense of next steps, personally and strategically

  • A grounded experience of what it’s like to work with a thought partner who will both challenge and champion you

This session is ideal for:

  • Chief AI Officers, CTOs, and senior tech executives

  • Founders and funders shaping AI’s strategic direction

  • Ethicists, policymakers, and system leaders navigating high-stakes complexity
