As a sought-after speaker and business authority, Charisma is regularly featured in media outlets like Fast Company.
Brian has gained recognition in technology and AI-driven innovation through his Ph.D. in Innovation Management from Purdue University. His extensive 25-year product development career across sectors such as software, automotive and energy now positions him as Chief Product Officer at an AI startup where he pioneers generative AI innovations and transforms technology use in everyday life.
Charisma and Brian operate as business leaders who extend their impact through passionate philanthropy. Charisma serves on the Tri-State Board of the American India Foundation and leads social initiatives and leadership development efforts with a focus on education and economic inclusion. As a member of the Executive Committees for the New York Harvard Business School Club she leads efforts to develop mentorship and leadership programs for future leaders.
The Glassmans continue to prioritize innovation and social impact along with philanthropic efforts as they look to the future. By combining their knowledge of technology, business, and AI they aim to inspire and support others and create a lasting legacy beyond their career achievements.
