Search every verified Stephan Gratziani interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Stephan Gratziani, who became CEO of Herbalife after 32 years as a distributor, discussed his use of artificial intelligence in a July 2026 podcast episode recorded in Vienna. He stated that his first earnings call as CEO went poorly and that he subsequently began using AI as a "thought partner" to help him communicate in his own voice. Gratziani described holding in-person meetings with top distributors from around the world, calling the initiative new and saying it was intended to help the company gather information needed to grow the business. Gratziani said he is approaching AI transformation by starting with people and using the technology to enhance them, then looking operationally for efficiency, and finally asking how to bring transformative value to distributors and customers while keeping human interest at the center. He was recorded after he and podcast host Jeff Woods trained 4,000 Herbalife distributors on becoming AI-driven leaders.
