CAIO Foundations: Your Path into the Chief AI Officer Role

Dalibor Jovic is an AI leader with over two decades of experience building, scaling, and shipping technology. He has delivered more than 200 software products for companies ranging from ambitious startups to global brands including HP, Pepsi, Intel, and Swarovski.

As Director of AI, Dalibor’s mission is to turn AI from hype into business outcomes by guiding teams as they adopt AI responsibly, embed it into products, and transform operations end‑to‑end.

“Stepping into this role took me three years of self‑directed learning. I created this course to shorten that journey for others and to openly share the lessons, frameworks, and missteps that shaped mine.

Hussam has spent 30+ years building high‑performance tech and product teams as CEO, CTO, and CPO. He helps organizations adopt outcome‑driven practices, align around clear OKRs, and deliver customer value faster—with less churn and more trust. His teaching style is practical, empathetic, and relentlessly focused on real‑world application.

“I designed this course because talented leaders don’t struggle for lack of effort; they struggle for lack of clarity and leverage—especially now that everyone expects them to have an ‘AI strategy’. My goal is to help you get both.”
