About Hermes Ruiz — More intelligence has not produced better leaders.It has produced faster ones.
That is not the same thing.
The AI era did not create a new problem. It made an old one impossible to ignore.
Organizations were already making decisions without enough wisdom to back them. AI began executing those decisions faster, at greater scale, and with total confidence. The consequences arrived at the same speed.
Hermes Ruiz has spent over 20 years at the intersection of leadership, organizational culture, and emerging technology.
He holds the U.S. EB-1 visa for extraordinary ability — a recognition reserved for individuals who have demonstrably risen to the very top of their field.
He has keynoted for some of the largest organizations in Latin America and the United States. He has sat in the rooms where AI strategy is decided — and in the rooms where those decisions were later regretted. Both experiences inform his work.
What gets decided determines what survives.

Most organizations will continue deploying AI. They will add models. Run pilots. Hire AI leads.
A few will stop and ask the harder question: “Are the people making these decisions actually equipped to make them?”
That question is where Hermes begins.
