Leilani Decena, SHRM-SCP, is the Founder & Principal of AI x HR Studios, an AI strategy, training, and work design consultancy helping leaders, teams, organizations, and professionals navigate a workplace being reshaped by artificial intelligence.
Leilani brings a multidisciplinary background spanning human resources, learning and development, marketing, communications, media production, journalism, editorial work, and responsible AI.
Through AI strategy and training, workflow redesign, leadership and workplace consulting, marketing and communications, content creation, video and media production, manuscript and book support, and speaking engagements, she helps clients turn ideas and technology into practical, effective ways of working.
