Davos Discussions: The Human Coworker

Описание: Workforce reimagination is here. In 2026, the office of the CFO is moving from AI as a tool to a coworker.

Recorded in Davos, this episode digs into the human side of transformation. We sit down with global leaders to unpack why the human in the loop is being rewritten and why change management has become a core executive capability.

Mandi McReynolds talks with Costi Perricos, Global GenAI Business Leader at Deloitte, Dennis Woodside, CEO of Freshworks, and Dr. Márcia Balisciano, Board Member Foundation for the UN Global Compact and CSO of RELX, about what they’re seeing on the ground as roles evolve from task execution to AI orchestration.

In this episode:

04:00 Costi Pericos on agentic collaboration and why HR and AI are converging
13:10 Dennis Woodside on the execution gap and changing daily work habits
15:30 Marcia Balisciano on CFO leadership and becoming “chief environmental champions”
19:00 Conclusion: Why CFOs must architect the agentic future

“I often say you’ll learn without AI first so that one day you can be the human in the loop, coordinating and governing AI.”
— Costi Pericos, Deloitte
