AI speaker Eva Dong is a global authority on enterprise AI strategy and one of the clearest voices on turning AI investment into measurable business value. As Lead of AI Value Realization at Google Cloud, she helps Fortune 500 companies move beyond pilots and prototypes to scale AI across the enterprise and deliver real return on investment.
At Google Cloud, Dong leads a new kind of role built around business-first thinking in AI transformation. Her team helps clients define success metrics, calculate the true cost of AI, and unlock value through revenue growth, cost efficiency, and redesigned ways of working. Her focus is consistent: closing the gap between emerging technology and bottom-line results in areas like customer experience, employee productivity, and new revenue generation.
Before Google, Dong spent eight years at McKinsey & Company as a senior data science and AI expert, advising clients across technology, media, retail, and travel on advanced analytics and AI strategy. She began her career at Visa, where her team was among the first in the world to apply machine learning to cybersecurity, earning industry recognition for intelligence-led risk management. She has also been an entrepreneur, founding an AI marketing startup focused on helping marketers thrive in an AI-driven world.
Dong has worked across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and is known for cross-cultural leadership in large, complex organizations. She holds a Master’s in Financial Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Today, her work at Google Cloud puts her at the leading edge of enterprise AI, and outside of work she supports education and environmental causes through the Executive Board of The Library Project and the Global Advisory Committee of Scenic Utah.
As a speaker, Eva Dong cuts through the AI hype with the rare credibility of someone who does this work every day at one of the world’s leading technology companies. She gives audiences practical, executive-level frameworks for moving from experimentation to enterprise-wide impact, complete with real case studies of what works and what doesn’t. Senior leaders leave with a clear roadmap for making their AI investments actually pay off.
Too many AI initiatives stall as costly experiments that never reach the bottom line. In this executive-level keynote, Eva Dong lays out a practical roadmap for turning AI investment into measurable return. Drawing on her work at Google Cloud and McKinsey, she explains how to align AI projects with strategic goals, define the metrics that matter, calculate the true cost of AI, and clear the adoption hurdles that stop most organizations from scaling. Audiences leave with proven frameworks for driving profitability, scalability, and long-term ROI.
What separates the organizations that succeed with AI from those that stall? Drawing on hands-on experience across industries and continents, Dong shares the case studies, success factors, and common pitfalls behind real enterprise AI deployments. She shows what actually works, and what quietly fails, when moving AI from concept to impact in complex, high-stakes environments. Attendees come away with a grounded, realistic picture of how to make their own AI projects succeed.
AI is reshaping not just what companies do, but how every professional works. Dong helps audiences understand where AI is truly strong, where humans still hold the advantage, and how to double down on the skills machines cannot easily replicate. Blending her enterprise experience with a clear-eyed view of the technology, she offers practical guidance on building AI literacy across a workforce and helping teams adapt with confidence rather than fear. It's a forward-looking talk for organizations preparing their people for the next decade of work.
Not all AI investments are created equal. Dong walks audiences through the areas where AI consistently delivers the most value for enterprises, from improving customer experience and employee productivity to opening new revenue streams. Using real examples, she shows leaders how to spot the highest-impact opportunities in their own organizations, prioritize them, and build the business case to act. The result is a practical lens for deciding where to focus AI efforts for the greatest return.
