"Human After All: Effective Leadership in the Age of Mind-blowing Machines" with Florian Pittion-Rossillon on November 12th, 2025

Florian Pittion-Rossillon,

Digital marketing, Innovation strategies, and Operational Leadership Consultant.

What remains of your job as a leader once AI is here?

AI is leadership’s best ally. By taking over repetitive, bureaucratic information management, it enables leaders to focus on what truly matters: making sound decisions, navigating complexity, and building strong human connections—by mobilizing them to achieve measurable effects.

Yet, when generative AI first appeared, many managers responded with a familiar "factory reflex": Produce more information, produce faster results. The quantity-volume tropism. What if we adjusted the sliders of design, of thinking, of creativity?

This keynote and leadership dialogue uncover a game-changing perspective: AI does not just optimize operations; it can also enhance the soft skills that define effective leadership. Emotional intelligence, orchestration of talent connection, framing complex decisions, and creating engagement are no longer “nice-to-have” skills, they are strategic differentiators. And AI can help leaders strengthen and apply them more effectively.

The Leadership Dialogue "Human After All: Effective Leadership in the Age of Mind-Blowing Machines" brings together senior leaders to explore how AI can support—not replace—the human side of leadership. Time to unlock the treasure box.

Florian Pittion-Rossillon is a consultant specializing in digital marketing, innovation strategies, and operational leadership. He is also a trainer in generative AI for executives and knowledge workers, as well as a pitch trainer. He is well-versed in intercultural and intergenerational environments and has extensive experience in problem-solving for organizations undergoing transformation.

After participating in the launch of Amazon in France, he worked in communication agencies for international brands. He later brought his digital marketing expertise to innovation strategies during the startup wave of the 2010s. Florian is highly field-oriented, while also being well-versed in methodologies and conceptual models.

His secret sauce? In his very first professional experience, he was a music journalist. So rest assured: with him, talking business is always dynamic and creative.

Testimonials from our Leadership Dialogues

The Leadership Dialogues are an exciting format for exchanging ideas on highly relevant topics with other executives. Through the input of an expert, theoretical input is not neglected in addition to practical experience. The focus is on a joint exchange, which is why learning from each other is a key success factor of the events."

Nina Lehmann, Project Manager Labor Market and Education, Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar GmbH

The Leadership Dialogue is a wonderfully open and modern format for anyone interested in current developments and challenges in the context of leadership. It allows one to dive into the suggestions of the respective expert with a group and, in the process get to know different perspectives and thoughts on the topic through dialogue and direct exchange with the other participants. The event has always been valuable for me so far, and I will gladly come back!"
