Deloitte Executive Spotlight 2026_ At the World Economic Forum in Davos, TIME CEO Jessica Sibley sat down with Lara Abrash, Chair of Deloitte US, to explore how boards are translating responsible AI governance from theory into practice while navigating the intersection of risk and opportunity. Abrash, who oversees all aspects of governance, including strategy and long-term value creation, says Deloitte’s 180-year legacy of stewardship across generations continues to guide its approach amid the rapid evolution of AI. In an environment defined by uncertainty [boards must remain agile](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/programs/center-for-board-effectiveness/articles/ai-in-boardroom-strategic-insights-from-industry-leaders.html?id=us:2pm:3lp:4laraaigv25:awa:greendot:120225:), ready to adapt their governance as technology evolves. Abrash frames modern oversight not as a barrier to innovation, but as a catalyst for more confident, future-focused decision-making. She underscores the importance of remaining “tech-driven and human-powered,” because agility is not only about keeping pace with new tools, it involves elevating the human qualities at the heart of responsible progress. While AI continues to reshape what’s possible, qualities like judgment, empathy, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking remain distinct human advantages. Abrash describes the board’s role as a balance of hindsight, insight, and foresight—honoring fiduciary responsibilities while helping management anticipate what’s next. In a landscape where no one has all the answers, she[ emphasizes](https://time.com/7355834/corporate-boards-matter-ai-era/) that embracing ambiguity as an opportunity for growth enables boards to unlock new possibilities, drive transformation, and safeguard their organizations for the future.
