Marek Swierad is a globally recognized leader in technology, sales, and innovation, with over 25 years of experience building and scaling organizations across the USA, Europe, and international markets. After holding senior executive roles at Oracle, VMware and Hitachi, Marek made a decisive shift from being a “general in someone else’s army” to launching and leading his own AI-first ventures, merging corporate strategy with entrepreneurial resilience.
His career spans building high performing global teams, driving complex enterprise growth, and founding multiple AI-driven companies. Marek offers a unique vantage point on leadership in a technological age: how leadership evolves when intelligence is distributed, decision cycles accelerate, and innovation becomes continuous. While corporations provide structure and resources, entrepreneurship demands creativity, conviction, and the ability to lead through uncertainty.
As a strategic sales leader, he is known for his ability to build highly effective multidisciplinary teams, open new markets, and consistently execute strategies across the complex environments of large corporations and startups.
Recognized for his professional precision, adaptability, and unwavering focus on delivering key results without compromising on quality.
After a successful corporate career, Marek made the deliberate decision to leave major systems behind and launch his own AI and marketplace ventures, combining deep enterprise experience with entrepreneurial resilience. He has led capital raising, team development and growth, business model scaling, and market transformation, including navigating failures that have become an essential part of his perspective on leadership, risk, and responsibility.
Marek has founded and scaled several AI-first companies, including ANASAEA (a 3D art and AI driven creative marketplace with 150,000 users), Emmerced (AI powered shopping experiences), and Everworker (an agentic AI company redefining human AI collaboration). His journey through fundraising, rapid scaling, strategy pivots, and failure has shaped a leadership philosophy grounded in ownership, adaptability, and purpose.
One of the startups he founded, EverWorker, is an agentic AI company redefining how humans and artificial intelligence collaborate, built with a clear purpose to help leaders unlock unlimited potential in the way work gets done. This advanced Agentic AI platform enables anyone to create AI workers without writing a single line of code, allowing organizations to scale without operational complexity.
EverWorker’s technology increases productivity, reduces costs, and frees teams to focus on what truly matters. More possibilities. More creativity. More innovation. Greater impact.
For Marek, leadership in the age of AI is not defined by position but by vision, trust, and the capacity to create new forms of value and culture. It is a shift from power to ownership, from managing what exists to creating what does not yet exist.
How AI is reshaping roles, influence, and decision making at every level.
Why stability supports performance but autonomy sparks innovation.
When every decision is yours what does leadership actually require?
This session is designed for leaders who want to understand how power, influence, and responsibility evolve in a world where intelligence is abundant and true value is created through vision, meaning, and human connection.
