Emily Sauter

Associate

Emily Sauter is a passionate leader and consultant who prepares all types of organisations to win in the era of artificial intelligence. She often refers to "collective intelligence," which is the synergy between human intelligence and artificial intelligence that can unlock new business opportunities. She is also a Principal of Bendelta, Founder of A New Way Forward, and a former Managing Director of Accenture.

Emily has worked in business and technology transformation for over 20 years, advising C-Suite leaders globally on how to leverage technology to be profitable and good for humans. She has advised several Fortune 500 companies and iconic Australian corporate brands. She combines her business experience with organisational psychology to create AI strategy, AI adoption, or AI operating models for clients.

Emily believes human intelligence will be the differentiator in the era of artificial intelligence, and coaches leaders to approach AI with clarity, compassion, and courage. She has developed AI maturity models, leadership frameworks, and workforce upskilling programs that emphasize human dignity, ingenuity, and potential.

Above all, Emily believes artificial intelligence has the power to make this world a better place. She believes strongly in a future where technology amplifies human potential rather than limiting it. This belief underpins her mission to support leaders in navigating the future of work with empathy, transparency, trust, and innovation.
