Stephen Beard, CEO and Chairman of Adtalem Global Education, participated in a fireside chat at the Win-Win Workplace Summit on May 4, 2026, where he discussed organizational transformation and AI. He described his company’s shift from a diversified conglomerate to a focus on healthcare education, calling it an intentional decision to "double down" on a smaller part of the business.

He also said AI could allow education to be tailored to individual students based on their preparation, strengths, and learning styles, enabling more people to succeed at scale.
