Sura Al-Naimi is an innovation psychology expert and former Disney Innovation Director who helps Fortune 500 leaders solve a fascinating paradox: why smart, capable teams consistently default to safe thinking—and how to systematically unlock breakthrough innovation.
After 20+ years building innovation programs at Disney and with Fortune 500 companies, Sura discovered that sustainable innovation isn't about creative talent or brainstorming techniques—it's about understanding the neuroscience behind breakthrough thinking and creating the psychological conditions where smart teams permission themselves to think differently.
She's the founder and CEO of HiHelloSura, and has worked with companies like Sony, AARP, Gap, and Kaiser Permanente to transform innovation theater into measurable business results.
