As design leaders step into greater influence, their decisions carry broader and more lasting impact on people, products, and the organization itself. This session brings together senior design leaders who have led through complexity, tension, and change. Together, they’ll explore what it really takes to lead with integrity while balancing power, accountability, and the responsibility to shape culture and drive results. Expect an unfiltered conversation on earning trust, making hard calls, and staying grounded in your values when it matters most.
