About Barry J Kurtz

---

Barry Kurtz is a transformation and AI-governance consultant who helps people and organizations adapt confidently to change. Over two decades, he’s led enterprise initiatives across financial services, healthcare, and technology—holding delivery and transformation roles with firms including UBS, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Johnson & Johnson.

His approach is grounded in lived experience. Before “AI” became a buzzword, Barry ran his own five-year transformation experiment: he lost more than 150 pounds—still dropping about five a month—by researching, experimenting, and collaborating closely with trusted physicians. No weight-loss drugs. No shortcuts. Just data, learning, and steady improvement.

That journey shaped his belief that technology should amplify awareness, not replace it. Today, he shows executives and communities how to apply the same principles with AI tools—turning confusion into curiosity and curiosity into capability.
