Chad Sanderson
CxO
UniversalContext / DeepHumanX
Chad Sanderson is CxO of UniversalContext, the organizational intelligence company, and DeepHumanX, the human enablement practice built to close the gap between AI investment and real organizational performance.
With 25+ years of experience in advanced technology, change management, and business strategy, his work has spanned Dassault Systèmes, Adobe, Microsoft, Verizon, Dover Fueling, and the Minnesota Vikings: organizations where the cost of the gap between technology adoption and measurable results is measured in hundreds of millions of dollars.
At ACEC 2026, Chad brings that framework directly to engineering firm leaders: what makes AEC firms specifically well-positioned to turn organizational data into strategic intelligence, and how to benchmark your firm’s AI readiness in a market where tool-buying and transformation are not the same thing. He co-presents with Holly Buck, President and CEO of Felsburg Holt and Ullevig, who will share how FHU turned a five-year strategic planning cycle into a live organizational intelligence deployment.
