Hannah Testani is the CEO of
Intelligent Audit, a company that helps businesses ship smarter across the globe. She has built her company on a simple but counterintuitive idea: disruption is good for business if you know how to use it.
In this conversation, Hannah breaks down the difference between AI as productivity and AI as innovation, and why most companies are only thinking about one of them. She explains why tariffs and supply chain chaos are actually creating more opportunity for the companies paying attention. And she makes the case that the real threat is not AI taking your job. It is fear keeping you from doing it.
She also talks about how she runs her executive team, how she keeps employees from feeling like they are just complaining into a void, and what she learned from the founders she studies obsessively.
If you are leading a company or a team through uncertainty right now, this one is worth your time.
