Livestream from the Summit

Leadership is not a title, it’s a verb. In this live podcast, Dave Doherty, President of DigiKey, explores how influence, not authority, is the true driver of change. From empowering individuals at every level to planting seeds of legacy that shape industries, Dave shares how trust, alignment, and conviction fuel innovation.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why influence is essential for lasting change and innovation.
• How leadership shows up in unexpected places through action, not title.
• The quiet but powerful ways legacy is built over time.
• The courage to make tough, often unpopular decisions. and how they shape the future.
• How leadership must evolve in today’s “Intelligence Age,” where convergence and consciousness redefine innovation.

Drawing from DigiKey’s unique journey of serving innovators worldwide, Dave brings a people-first perspective on leadership, reminding us that influence creates the alignment and trust needed to transform not just organizations, but industries.
