What happens when leadership is shaped not only by expertise but by the realities of everyday life, family, and community? In this session, Tim Gobran brings a rare blend of executive insight and lived experience to the conversation on leading with empathy, clarity, and purpose.
As Managing Director of Talent and Organization at Accenture and Global Lead for the T&O Intelligence and Insights team, Tim has spent nearly three decades guiding complex organizational transformations across industries and continents. Yet some of his most profound lessons come from home. As a father of two neurodiverse sons and a passionate advocate for inclusive workplaces, Tim sits on the leadership team of Accenture’s Neurodiversity ERG and serves on the boards of the Autism Society of San Diego and Exceptional Minds.
Join us for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about how lived experience strengthens leadership, reshapes company culture, and unlocks more human-centered innovation. Whether you are a founder, operator, or future leader, this session will leave you with insights you can bring into your own work the very next day.
