Are human-first teams possible in the age of AI? ft. Brandon Sammut of Zapier

Building deeply human teams in an increasingly automated world may sound like an oxymoron - but it isn’t. In fact, it should be #1 on your priority list. In this episode of The Future is Human, host Naomi Trickey welcomes Brandon Sammut, Chief People and AI Transformation Officer at Zapier, to explore why maintaining human connection is your competitive advantage, how to design AI adoption that enhances rather than replaces human creativity and the leadership behaviors that scale culture across 900+ distributed team members. From Zapier's three-pillar impact model (efficiency, quality, employee experience) to practical approaches for remote-first cultures that thrive, this episode unpacks it all.
