At Google, Abigail led the development of data-driven AI-powered advertising and branded content strategies for YouTube's top global advertisers, pioneered Humanizing Digital, an anthropology-based thought leadership series exploring our emotional relationship with technology, and helped guide a cultural transformation initiative for Google's 4,000+ sales professionals. She is now the founder of the Human Code Company, working with senior leaders to help them use their unique perspectives to lead with more impact.
Abigail's keynotes center on three interconnected ideas. Firstly, that creativity is an innate human capacity, ready to be activated. Secondly, that every leader has an expansiveness edge, an untapped ability to turn their experiences into ideas no competitor can replicate. And finally, that AI is not a threat to human imagination but a force multiplier for it, freeing people to do their boldest, most original thinking.
Abigail's work has been recognized with the United Nations Media Impact Award, and her ideas have been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, and CNBC. She shares her thinking at conferences and business gatherings in keynotes worldwide as well as through her Human Code podcast and writing in outlets such as The Drum.

Topics, Sessions And Talks
Abigail Posner explores how leaders can remain distinctive in a world where AI is rapidly reshaping work and decision-making. Drawing on anthropology, creative strategy, and her experience inside Google, she reveals how the most impactful leaders combine disciplines, experiences, and perspectives to generate ideas competitors cannot replicate. Through storytelling, business examples, and practical frameworks, Abigail demonstrates how expansive thinking unlocks innovation, strengthens leadership, and enables organizations to identify opportunities that conventional strategy often overlooks.
Abigail Posner challenges the common belief that creativity belongs only to a talented few. Drawing on insights from anthropology, neuroscience, and her career shaping global brands, she shows how creativity is a universal human capability that organizations often fail to activate. With practical tools and cross-disciplinary perspectives, Abigail reveals how curiosity, observation, and collaborative thinking fuel innovation, helping teams generate bold ideas and develop creative confidence in an increasingly automated world.
Abigail Posner reframes artificial intelligence as a tool that expands human imagination rather than replacing it. Drawing on years working at the intersection of technology, advertising, and culture, she explores how AI can remove cognitive overload and amplify creative thinking. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, Abigail shows how organizations can combine human intuition, curiosity, and emotional intelligence with intelligent tools to develop more ambitious ideas and solve complex challenges in new ways.
