About the Host
Podcast Host & Executive Producer
Lori Adams-Brown is a strategic transformation executive with more than 15 years of global C-suite advisory experience. She has worked across six continents, lived on three, and speaks six languages, including over a decade as an expat in Indonesia and Singapore. Her work centers on a gap most organizations underinvest in: the human capital and behavioral science layer that determines whether AI adoption actually sticks, or quietly erodes trust and burns people out.
Lori is the founder of Brava Global Advisory, where she helps global enterprises align HI and AI transformation with the people leading it. She holds a master's degree in intercultural studies and built her career doing on-the-ground work in 33 countries, from government liaison work in Indonesia to leadership program design at Fortune 500 companies.
A World of Difference draws on that global lens, bringing listeners conversations with leaders navigating change across cultures, industries, and continents. The show ranks in the top 3% of podcasts globally, with more than 153,000 downloads across 300+ episodes and listeners in 100+ countries.
When she's not recording, Lori can be found near the coast in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lives with her husband, three young adults and her rescue dog Luna.
