The shift

How AI is changing the EVP role

AI now handles the first draft of work that used to eat your week, like turning a 60-page board deck into a two-page summary or pulling themes from a dozen team reports. It speeds up financial variance reviews, competitive research, and the early shaping of strategy memos. The judgment calls stay with you, but the prep no longer does.

What AI can take off your plate

  • First drafts of board summaries, strategy memos, and update emails
  • Financial variance review and pulling the largest swings from spreadsheets
  • Meeting transcription, recaps, and action item tracking
  • Competitive and market research with sources
  • Summarizing long threads, reports, and contracts into a page

What stays distinctly human

  • Deciding which bets to make and where to spend political capital
  • Reading the room with the CEO, board, and peers
  • Holding direct reports accountable and developing them
  • Owning the call when the data is incomplete or conflicting
  • Setting the tone and culture for your division
