AI-Driven Business Expansion: Reinventing Growth through Innovation & Intrapreneurship

Today, AI is no longer just a buzzword - it’s the backbone of how modern businesses expand, innovate, and scale with purpose.

In this episode of Digital Transformation and AI for Humans, we dive deep into the future of AI-driven growth, enterprise innovation, and intrapreneurial leadership.

I’m joined by my amazing guest, Albert Bengtson from Stockholm, Sweden - ex senior leader at Apple, book author, co-author of the 4C model.
As an entrepreneur, Albert founded several companies, one of which won Elon Musk’s annual Developer Challenge award while still at PayPal. For more than a decade, he worked as an enterprise evangelist at a large multinational corporation, coaching and connecting intrapreneurial talent to drive purpose and impact in retail, banking, and logistics.

Together, we explore the frameworks, mindsets, and scalable strategies that unlock AI’s full potential — not just for tech teams, but for business leaders, governments, and innovation hubs ready to shape the future.
