I'm Founder and COO of CognitivePath, a consultancy that helps organizations build and execute practical, business-driven AI strategies. We work with large enterprises, associations, and marketing-led organizations to align leadership, prepare teams, and implement AI responsibly and effectively.
Over the past 30+ years, I’ve led at the intersection of business strategy and emerging technology. I’ve held executive roles in tech and professional services, founded three companies, launched new business lines inside established firms, and helped lead two through successful acquisitions. As a consultant, I’ve worked closely with senior leaders at organizations like AT&T, Coca-Cola, Ford, IBM, Mondelez, Panasonic, and UPS—serving not just as a strategist, but as a trusted advisor during pivotal moments of transformation.
I bring a mix of strategic insight and a human-centered perspective to my work, equipping leaders to adapt faster, decide smarter, and perform better in the face of high-speed, high-stakes change. This approach is grounded in real-world leadership experience and supported by advanced training in AI strategy (Cornell), AI ethics (LSE), executive coaching (ICF-accredited Center for Executive Coaching), and adaptability (AQai Level 1 practitioner).
Throughout my career, I’ve helped leaders make sense of disruption and turn it into opportunity—so they can move forward with clarity, conviction, and purpose. I'm an in-demand keynote speaker on AI, adaptability, and the future of work; I’ve written two books (Never Normal and microMARKETING); and I co-host No Brainer, one of the world’s top AI-for-business podcasts (Top 25 per Feedspot).
Today, I focus on guiding decision-makers through the complexity of the AI era so they can lead with clarity, adapt at speed, and thrive in the face of always-on change. 
Craig Bromberg is founder and CEO of Homesy, a consumer to consumer real estate network — the culmination of a career-long passion for building consumer brands based on user-generated data.
My path started in feature writing for NYT, People, Vanity Fair, LAT, New York, The New Yorker, etc. And "The Wicked Ways of Malcolm McLaren," a biography of the manager of the Sex Pistols and his wife, fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood, published by Harper.
Then I got hooked on concepting and building scalable media brands online: I was founding editor of Time Warner Pathfinder; editor-in-chief of new online products at Disney, Bertelsmann, Ziff, and Samsung (DigitAll, an award-winning digital innovation mag), and got into real estate media as editorial director of Citi Mortgage and editor in chief of AOL Real Estate.
As media tanked, I escaped via MBA, did sales and marketing for Zemanta, Dachis Group, and SurveyMonkey; taught design strategy at Parsons, and sojourned into social and stablecoin blockchain projects.
Homesy reflects my belief that the key to sustaining creativity in the age of AI is discovering, unlocking, and unleashing the power, scale, and value of human generated data.

I specialize in economic development, public policy, and venture capital, with a focus on building startup ecosystems that foster innovation and sustainable growth. As the founder of MediaTech Ventures, I developed a media-first incubator model that helps startups align their marketing and team strategies—key drivers for early-stage success. My experience spans startup funding, policy advocacy, community development, and ecosystem maturation, giving me a unique perspective on how to create environments where startups and innovation thrive.
In my roles as a former Venture Partner at Meaningful Ventures, Director of Funded House, and Director of Founder Institute Texas, I've helped build communities and connect entrepreneurs with resources and investors more germanely than local communities typically do on their own. Launching and scaling the Texas Startups online networks has been a big part of that work, creating collaborative spaces to support innovation and regional economic development.
With a background that combines technical expertise, startup experience, and insights into venture capital, I’m passionate about shaping public policy to lower barriers and attract investment in innovation. I’d love to connect and explore how strategic consulting and policy work can more effectively drive meaningful impact on entrepreneurship that fuels solutions and startups in your region or organization.
