Platforms selling expertise should lead with their own: here is who runs the AI Faculty, what each brings, and where to verify it.
The founding faculty
Jim Harris anchors strategy and disruption. One of North America's foremost speakers on AI and innovation, TEC Canada Speaker of the Year, author of the international bestseller Blindsided!, and strategic advisor to organizations including IBM, Walmart, and the UK Cabinet Office; his full record is on his member CV.
Scott Wilson anchors implementation and marketing. McMaster DeGroote AI instructor, CEO of an AI consulting and automation practice, and a twenty-year digital marketing veteran; he leads the platform's Workforce AI and Marketing Turnkey delivery practices.
Dr. Ruhai Wu anchors research and rigour. Tenured Associate Professor of Marketing at DeGroote, published across Marketing, Information Systems, and Operations Management, SSHRC- and NSERC-funded; he sets the evidentiary standard the platform's education is held to.
Governance beyond the founders
The founders built the platform; the advisory board governs its most important promise, the vetting of every member against published profile standards, deliberately structured so the credibility bar is institutional rather than personal.
Where leadership shows up
The founders remain working faculty: on stages through the keynote roster, in rooms through workshops and retreats, and inside client engagements, because a leadership team that stopped practicing would be teaching from memory. The fuller origin story is on the about page.
