Empower AI is emerging from a year of notable change and transformation. In the summer of 2022, the company rebranded from NCI, then in November 2022, KKR became a majority shareholder, and at the start of 2023, Jeff Bohling became the company’s CEO. Executive Mosaic sat down with Bohling to discuss what has changed for Empower AI, what remains the same and what we can expect for the future.
“The new brand is gaining traction,” Bohling shared in a new video interview with Executive Mosaic’s Summer Myatt. “The release of ChatGPT last fall caused a lot of interest in everything associated with artificial intelligence. We benefit from that attention because of our AI platform, but our real focus remains on the mission, just as it was 34 years ago.”
Bohling shared that Empower AI’s ownership change sparked a series of leadership and strategic shifts as well. He said KKR had “a different investment thesis than the previous owner and wanted us to focus on our core strength.”
“This approach caused a change in strategy which necessitated a change in leadership. I’m happy to say that the change in leadership is complete and we are diligently focusing on building a strategy for the next three-to-five years. There has been a great deal of change, but the team is embracing it, and there’s a lot of excitement about the opportunities created with that change,” Bohling added.
