Maryjo Charbonnier: From Jobs to Skills: How AI Is Rewiring the Workforce (Live @ Unleash 2026)

LISTEN: https://www.thepozcast.com/505

At UNLEASH 2026, Adam sits down with Maryjo Charbonnier, CHRO of Kyndryl, to unpack what HR transformation actually looks like when AI moves from buzzword to business driver. Mary Jo brings a sharp operator’s lens to the conversation, grounding AI not in hype, but in how work actually gets done. She explains why HR is no longer a support function, but increasingly at the center of business strategy—especially as AI reshapes workflows, roles, and skills at scale. From translating customer demand into skills using AI, to dynamically matching employees to opportunities, Mary Jo shares how Kyndryl is leveraging data to better understand its workforce and unlock internal mobility. Her perspective reframes AI not just as an efficiency tool, but as a mechanism to truly “see” employees—their capabilities, potential, and fit across the organization. This is a conversation about shifting HR from reactive to predictive, from administrative to strategic, and from static org charts to fluid, skills-based ecosystems.
