Lori
Lori Castillo Martinez is SVP of Workforce Innovation, Experience & Analytics at McKesson and a recognized thought leader on the future of work, Human + AI transformation, and workforce innovation. She advises executives on one of the defining leadership challenges of our time: not how to adopt AI, but how to redesign work so people and technology create greater value together.
Known for translating emerging technologies into practical business outcomes, Lori helps organizations move beyond AI experimentation to fundamentally rethink work, skills, leadership, and organizational design. Her work sits at the intersection of workforce strategy, employee experience, analytics, and responsible AI, helping organizations become more adaptive, productive, and resilient in a rapidly changing world. She is a champion of the 4Rs framework: Redesign, Reskill, Redeploy, and Rebalance, a practical approach to preparing organizations and workers for the future while unlocking new opportunities for growth and innovation.
Prior to McKesson, Lori served as Executive Vice President of Performance & Workforce Innovation and Chief Equality Officer at Salesforce, where she led workforce innovation, leadership development, skills transformation, and organizational effectiveness initiatives for a global workforce. Throughout her career, she has focused on helping organizations navigate periods of profound disruption while strengthening performance, expanding opportunity, and enabling people to thrive through change.
A frequent advisor and speaker on workforce readiness, leadership in the age of AI, and organizational transformation, Lori is known for challenging conventional thinking about the future of work. Her perspective is grounded in a simple belief: the organizations that thrive in the age of AI will not be those that deploy technology the fastest, but those that reinvent work in ways that elevate human potential and create value for all.
