A global leadership strategist for the 5th Industrial Revolution, Caroline Stokes is the author of AfterShock to 2030: A CEO’s Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse, a radical roadmap for leaders navigating our disruptive new reality. Caroline’s pioneering leadership model fuses trauma-aware systems, emotionally intelligent AI, and adaptive intelligence to prepare CEOs and other leaders for a post-growth, polycrisis-defined era. A Sony alum who contributed to the launch of PlayStation, and a PCC-level, EQ 2.0–certified coach, Caroline has evolved from executive headhunter to one of the few global authorities on psychological and strategic leadership reinvention. She works with founders, boards, and executive teams to build intelligent, sovereign, and trust-based systems aligned with the complexity of our time. She is also the author of Elephants Before Unicorns: Emotionally Intelligent HR Strategies to Save Your Company (Entrepreneur Press, 2019), a co-author in the HBR Guide to Navigating the Toxic Workplace (2024), and contributor to Coach Me! (Wiley, 2022). Her insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and The Globe and Mail. Caroline has spoken globally at institutions including the World Bank, IEEE-USA conferences, and innovation summits across London, Los Angeles, and Singapore. In 2024, she was invited to speak at the UN Peace Day celebration in LA on “Cultivating a Culture of Peace.” Her 2019 TEDx talk accurately forecast the disruptive transformation leaders are now facing. Caroline’s IEEE-USA–certified webinar for engineers, “Transitioning from Expert to Leader in the AI and BANI Era,” positioned her as a leading voice in guiding technical professionals through leadership transformation in a volatile world. Caroline works with leaders who know the old playbooks are dead — and who are ready to move their organizations forward with emotional clarity, systemic awareness, and strategic urgency.
