Greg Verdino

Senior Partner at Velocity Road

New York, United States

I've spent my career at the leading edge of technology-driven change, helping organizations navigate every major digital wave: online business and e-commerce, mobile, social, digital transformation, and now AI. Each shift brought new opportunities and new complexities. Each required translating emerging technology into real business impact.

Today, I'm Senior Partner at Velocity Road, an AI strategy and implementation partner built to meet the specific needs of middle-market companies. I lead the firm's AI-native consulting practice while overseeing our most strategic client relationships. I work directly with executive teams to define AI roadmaps, identify high-value use cases, and design implementation approaches that align with business priorities. Across engagements, I ensure delivery excellence and scale client value by ensure that we build and deploy AI solutions that create measurable operational impact and durable business value.

Before joining Velocity Road, I co-founded and led CognitivePath, a consultancy focused on helping associations and trade organizations like US Travel, Cotton Council International, and the Heart Rhythm Society build and execute practical, business-driven AI strategies that boost productivity, improve performance, and create durable competitive advantage.

Previously, I’ve held executive roles in tech and professional services, co-founded three companies, launched new business lines inside established firms, and helped lead three startups through successful acquisitions. As a consultant, I’ve worked closely with senior leaders at organizations like AT&T, Coca-Cola, Ford, IBM, Mondelez, Panasonic, and UPS—serving not just as a strategist, but as a trusted advisor during pivotal moments of transformation.

I bring a mix of strategic insight and human-centered perspective to my work, equipping leaders to adapt faster, decide smarter, and perform better in the face of high-speed, high-stakes change. My approach is grounded in real-world leadership experience and supported by advanced training in AI strategy (Cornell), AI ethics (LSE), executive coaching (ICF-accredited Center for Executive Coaching), and adaptability (AQai Level 1 practitioner).

I'm also an in-demand keynote speaker on AI, adaptability, and the future of work; I’ve written two books (Never Normal and microMARKETING), ghostwrote a third about the future of customer service (shhhhh), and contributed chapters the three others; and through October 2025 co-hosted No Brainer, one of the world’s top AI-for-business podcasts (Top 25 per Feedspot).

"Why" Comes Before A and I
Substack
August 15, 2024
In last week’s article, my CognitivePath partner and Substack co-author Geoff asked whether the AI hype bubble is about to burst. He posited that, if and when it does, it’ll be a good thing. Now, you might debate whether AI is overhyped, under-hyped, underrated, or overrated. But, the reality about AI does seem to be setting in. Decision-makers are starting to realize that investing in technology for technology’s sake isn’t a formula for success.

ANA and CognitivePath Collaborate on Marketing AI Use Case Compendium
CognitivePath Research, Inc.
February 15, 2024
At CognitivePath, we’ve heard from many marketers that one of their biggest challenges is identifying the most effective AI use cases for their brand and business. It’s hard to separate the hype about what AI could do in theory from the reality of what it does in practice. It’s even harder to find solid examples of how other brands are already using AI systems to put their use cases into action through objective-driven, outcome-producing marketing initiatives.

NEVER NORMAL: Uncommon Ideas for Leaders Who Won't Settle for the Status Quo
VCOpress
August 10, 2020
The "new normal" you're waiting for is never going to happen. Planning for tomorrow guarantees you'll fall further behind. Lack of resources is a lame excuse. The experts have the most to learn.The answer to disruption is not technology, but humanity.

Futurist and digital transformation expert Greg Verdino has made a career out of helping business leaders make sense of exponential change -- challenging conventional wisdom, skewering the status quo, and doling out tough love on his blog, in print and from conference stages around the world. Now, NEVER NORMAL distills eight years of Greg's most provocative ideas about technology, transformation, strategy and innovation into one slim volume you can skim while you're waiting for your next Zoom call to begin.

NEVER NORMAL features the brand new title essay (exclusive to this collection) and 15 of Greg's most popular business essays, all written between 2012 and 2019. This look back at his ideas about the future of business is as relevant today as the essays were the day they were written, as organizations of all shapes and sizes grapple with the urgent need to adapt to a very different post-pandemic world.

THREE TIPS FOR ACCELERATING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Greg Vedino
April 12, 2021
Just months into 2020, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella noted, “We’ve seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months.” Of course, the vast majority of that was mere digitization. Nonetheless, to the extent that the pandemic forced most organizations to accelerate their digital roadmaps, it’s fair to consider how leaders can keep their foot on the gas in 2021.

NB26 – AI Hype is Dead. Long Live AI!
No Brainer
February 27, 2024
Yahoo! Finance found that executives are only half as likely to mention AI on their earnings calls. Research from BCG found that enterprises aren’t as enthusiastic as they used to be about generative AI. Even Sequoia Capital — a major investor in AI startups — has argued that the majority of AI tech companies are struggling to nail their value proposition. And all of this is happening as researchers find that OpenAI’s ChatGPT plagiarizes its training data 70% of the time and Google’s latest releases amount to a series of self-inflicted wounds.

Debunking the Malicious AI Drone Doomstory
No Brainer Podcast
June 08, 2023
Last week, "news" broke that an AI-powered military drone had killed an operator who interfered with the drone's mission. The original story blurred the line between whether this happened in practice or was a simulation -- then follow-ups revealed the incident was at best a simulation and likely hadn't happened at all. We discuss why these stories capture the imagination, why the media is so uncritical in reporting these things, and why the idea of a "rogue AI" is more science fiction than fact.
