The newly created role reflects the company's 2026 focus on building human infrastructure to match the pace of AI-driven growth.
Miami, FL – March 10, 2026 – AI Digital, a fully remote AI-native media consultancy, today announced the appointment of Kristen Oliver as Senior Vice President, Employee Empowerment — a newly created executive role aligned with one of the company’s core strategic priorities for 2026: strengthening human infrastructure as AI accelerates global growth.
As AI Digital scales its global team by 91% in the past year, and advances AI adoption across client operations, the company is investing in human capability with the same rigor applied to technology. The move reinforces its founding belief that the most powerful AI-native organizations are built on human intelligence, enhanced by AI.
AI Digital views leadership development, organizational resilience, and empowerment frameworks not as traditional HR functions, but as core business infrastructure. Elevating this function to the executive level signals that in a remote-first, AI-native environment, emotional intelligence, leadership resilience, and structured people systems are operational priorities.
Kristen brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across digital media and technology organizations. Most recently, she served as an Executive and Leadership Coach at Arete Coaching & Transformation. Prior to that, she was Chief Empowerment Officer at illumin EU & LATAM, where she led global culture transformation and leadership development during a period of significant growth and operational change — the same inflection point AI Digital is navigating now as it scales globally.
In her role, Kristen will work directly with AI Digital’s executive team to embed empowerment frameworks into leadership development, organizational design, and performance systems.
“As AI accelerates how companies grow, investing in people becomes even more critical. Kristen’s role ensures we’re building the leadership strength and organizational resilience needed to scale AI Digital globally.”
— Stephen Magli, CEO, AI Digital
