Naomi Withers joins Vancouver City News as a contributor focused on AI strategy, executive leadership, and organizational transformation. Through her work with founders and executive teams, she brings practical insight into how leadership and artificial intelligence are reshaping the future of business.
Contributor Announcement
Vancouver City News is pleased to introduce Naomi Withers as a contributor whose expertise bridges executive leadership, business strategy, and artificial intelligence.
As organizations increasingly adopt AI technologies, many leaders are discovering that successful implementation depends less on the technology itself and more on leadership, culture, and organizational readiness. Naomi's work focuses on helping executive teams navigate this transition with clarity and confidence.
About The Contributor
Naomi Withers is the founder of Growth Consultant Services, where she advises founders, CEOs, and executive teams at mid-market organizations on AI strategy, executive coaching, and high-performance leadership.
Her work centers on helping organizations develop leadership capabilities while preparing for the operational and cultural changes driven by artificial intelligence. Rather than viewing AI solely as a technology initiative, Naomi approaches transformation through the lens of leadership, organizational alignment, and long-term business performance.
A central principle of her work is that successful AI adoption begins with leadership. Her thesis, "AI transformation is a leadership problem first," reflects the belief that organizations achieve better outcomes when executives understand not only the capabilities of AI but also the leadership behaviours required to guide meaningful change.
Leadership In An AI Economy
Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations operate, make decisions, and compete. While technology continues to advance rapidly, many businesses face a more immediate challenge: preparing leaders and teams to adapt successfully.
Naomi works with executives to strengthen leadership effectiveness, improve decision-making, and build organizational resilience during periods of rapid technological and business change. Her experience brings together executive coaching, strategic thinking, and practical AI implementation for growing organizations.
Contributor Focus
Readers can expect articles covering:
- AI strategy for business leaders
- Executive coaching
- High-performance leadership
- Organizational transformation
- Change management
- Leadership development
- Business strategy
- The human side of AI adoption
Her articles will translate emerging leadership and AI trends into practical guidance for business owners, executives, and professionals navigating an increasingly technology-driven economy.
What Readers Can Expect
Through Vancouver City News and WBN News, Naomi will explore the intersection of leadership, business performance, and artificial intelligence. Her articles will focus on helping readers understand not only how AI is changing organizations but also how leaders can build cultures capable of adapting to continuous change.
Her perspective combines executive coaching with strategic business insight, providing readers with practical frameworks for leading through transformation.
Why It Matters
Artificial intelligence is becoming a defining force in business, but technology alone does not determine success. Leadership, culture, and organizational readiness increasingly separate companies that adapt successfully from those that struggle.
By bringing experienced executive perspectives into community business journalism, contributors like Naomi help business leaders better understand the strategic decisions shaping the future of work, innovation, and organizational growth.
