    AI Leadership: Should CEOs Send AI Avatars to Meetings?

    Mark Zuckerberg is building an AI avatar of himself — voice synced, visually cloned, and designed to attend one-on-one meetings on his behalf. But should leaders ever outsource their presence? In this episode, Lewis Maleh shares his perspective on the rise of AI leadership avatars, the risks of using AI to replace difficult conversations, and why human connection still matters more than ever in leadership. Lewis explores where AI genuinely helps CEOs become better leaders — from agents, analysis, and decision support — and where it becomes a dangerous leadership shortcut. Topics covered:• Why AI avatars could become a leadership trap• The real danger of outsourcing difficult conversations• Why the best leaders still show up in person• How AI agents can act like a “co-CEO”• Where Lewis uses Claude and AI tools inside Bentley Lewis• Why human trust still wins in executive leadership If you're leading teams, building a company, or navigating AI transformation, this episode is worth your time. ---- Connect with Lewis: linkedin.com/in/lmaleh Learn more: bentleylewis.com

    Why 80% of Executive Roles Are Never Advertised — And How to Get Found Anyway

In this episode, Lewis Maleh — Founder and CEO of Bentley Lewis — shares exactly how executive search works from the inside. How headhunters build their lists, what gets you on them, and the practical steps that put you in front of the right people long before you're looking.

    AI Is Finding Your Next Leader Before They Even Apply | Espresso With Lewis

    AI isn't just changing how you hire — it's already identifying your next leader before they've written their resume. Most organisations don't know it's happening yet. In this episode, Lewis Maleh unpacks four data-backed signals reshaping executive hiring right now. Why 65% of hiring managers say AI-generated CVs are overwhelming their process. Why KPMG is warning that half of all tech teams will be non-human by 2027. Why LinkedIn data shows companies using AI strategically are 42% more likely to report hiring satisfaction. And why Wharton research proves AI can spot leadership potential long before a candidate even applies. This isn't a conversation about whether AI is good or bad for hiring. It's about understanding what's actually happening — and what to do about it. Whether you lead a business, manage talent, or are thinking about your next career move, this one is worth your attention.

    AI Resumes Are Lying to Hiring Managers

    AI has made it easier than ever for candidates to produce a perfect-looking resume in minutes. The problem? Perfect doesn't mean honest. Hiring managers are now wading through hundreds of AI-optimised CVs that clear every ATS filter — but don't reflect the real person behind them. And the uncomfortable truth is this: candidates aren't cheating. They're playing the game you created. In this episode of Espresso With Lewis, Lewis Maleh — Founder & CEO of Bentley Lewis — breaks down what's really happening inside the hiring funnel right now: • Why AI resumes are winning on paper and failing in interviews • How junior employees with AI skills are out-earning their managers • The most in-demand executive role most companies aren't hiring for yet • The AI tools every hiring manager needs on their radar • Why the fix isn't banning AI — it's rebuilding around human judgment If you're a hiring manager, CHRO, or business leader trying to make sense of where recruitment is heading, this one's for you. ─── Espresso With Lewis is a weekly series from Bentley Lewis — sharp thinking on leadership, hiring, and the future of work.

    Should You Still Move to the UAE in 2026?

    Over the last few weeks, one question keeps coming up: Should I still move to the UAE? The opportunity is real. Salaries are 40–100% higher than most home markets, with zero tax. The UAE economy is growing faster than almost anywhere in the world, with over a million new jobs projected by 2030. But since February 28th, everything feels different. In this episode I share two real stories — a senior tech leader from Hong Kong who decided to move, and a candidate from London who paused their interview process. Same market. Same opportunity. Completely different decisions. Both right. I also walk through the questions I'd ask anyone thinking about making this move right now — career, family, risk, timeline, financial cushion. The opportunity is still there. The decision is more personal than ever. I have been placing senior leaders globally for 16 years across Financial Services, Technology, Energy, Life Sciences, and Industrials in 40+ countries.

    Only 24% of Workers Feel Ready for the AI Job Market

    Only 24% of global workers feel confident about their career future — and AI is accelerating that gap faster than ever. As hiring becomes more automated and recruiters rely on AI tools to find candidates, being good at your job is no longer enough. You also need to be visible, relevant, and connected. In this episode, we break down three strategies that separate people who get left behind from those who move forward in the AI era. You'll learn: ✅ How to stay relevant as AI reshapes hiring ✅ Why visibility now matters as much as performance ✅ How to network without sounding desperate or salesy ✅ What recruiters actually look for in 2025 and beyond ✅ Why “being better” doesn’t guarantee you’ll be chosen If you're trying to advance your career, transition industries, or land leadership roles, these principles can dramatically improve your chances of being found and hired. -- 👨🏻‍💼 Connect with Lewis Maleh 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmaleh 🌍 About Bentley Lewis https://bentleylewis.com/ ➡️ Follow Us 🔗 All socials: https://linktr.ee/BentleyLewis
