The manufacturing floor is undergoing a technological revolution with industrial AI at its center. From predictive maintenance to quality control, AI is transforming how products are designed, produced, and maintained. But implementing these technologies isn't just about installing sensors and software—it's about empowering your workforce to embrace new tools and processes. How do you overcome AI hesitancy among experienced workers? What skills should your team develop to make the most of these new capabilities? And with limited resources, how do you prioritize which AI applications will deliver the greatest impact for your specific manufacturing challenges? The answers might be simpler than you think. Barbara Humpton is President and CEO of Siemens Corporation, responsible for strategy and engagement in Siemens’ largest market. Under her leadership, Siemens USA operates across all 50 states and Puerto Rico with 45,000 employees and generated $21.1 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2024. She champions the role of technology in expanding what’s humanly possible and is a strong advocate for workforce development, mentorship, and building sustainable work-life integration. Previously, she was President and CEO of Siemens Government Technologies, leading delivery of Siemens’ products and services to U.S. federal agencies. Before joining Siemens in 2011, she held senior roles at Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin, where she oversaw programs in national security, biometrics, border protection, and critical infrastructure, including the FBI’s Next Generation Identification and TSA’s Transportation Workers’ Identification Credential. Olympia Brikis is a seasoned technology and business leader with over a decade of experience in AI research. As the Technology and Engineering Director for Siemens' Industrial AI Research in the U.S., she leads AI strategy, technology roadmapping, and R&D for next-gen AI products. Olympia has a strong track record in developing Generative AI products that integrate industrial and digital ecosystems, driving real-world business impact. She is a recognized thought leader with numerous patents and peer-reviewed publications in AI for manufacturing, predictive analytics, and digital twins.

With a background in Computer Science from LMU Munich and an MBA from Wharton, she bridges AI research, product strategy, and enterprise adoption, mentoring the next generation of AI leaders. In the episode, Richie, Barbara, and Olympia explore the transformative power of AI in manufacturing, from predictive maintenance to digital twins, the role of industrial AI in enhancing productivity, the importance of empowering workers with new technology, real-world applications, overcoming AI hesitancy, and much more.

The modern workplace often glorifies constant productivity and hustle culture, but at what cost? More professionals are burning out earlier in their careers, while elite athletes are extending their peak performance years. What can business leaders learn from high-performance sports about energy management and sustainable success? How do you distinguish between your 'inner game'—managing your energy and purpose—and your 'outer game' of business skills and execution? Could simple techniques like compartmentalization, breathing exercises, and finding deeper purpose transform your professional effectiveness? What if the key to avoiding burnout isn't working less, but working differently? Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld is an international executive, investor, and entrepreneur. He is the Founder and CEO of K2Elevation, which develops and invests in technology and biotech ventures across Germany, Austria, and the U.S. He serves as Chairman of KONUX and FERNRIDE, sits on the supervisory boards of GreyOrange, Fero Labs, and NEOM, and is an Advisory Partner at EMH Partners. Previously, he was the first CEO of NEOM, where he remains on the board and advises the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on economic development. Earlier in his career, Dr. Kleinfeld was Chairman and CEO of Alcoa/Arconic, leading the company through a major transformation and successful split, and spent two decades at Siemens, ultimately becoming CEO of Siemens AG. He has also served on numerous global boards and advisory councils, including the Brookings Institution, Council on Foreign Relations, and World Economic Forum, and advised U.S. Presidents and international leaders. Born in Bremen, Germany, he holds an MBA from the University of Göttingen, a PhD from the University of Würzburg, and dual U.S.-German citizenship. In the episode, Richie and Klaus explore the causes of workplace burnout, the parallels between high-performing workers and athletes, the importance of managing energy and purpose, practical techniques for emotional and mental control, the role of downtime in productivity, and strategies for creating a supportive work culture, and much more.
