Carolyn Stanworth on How BL Uses AI for Inc. Leadership Forum’s Expert Insights

Mar 10, 2026

Artificial intelligence is arguably the hottest topic in our world right now. In the first collection of the new Inc. Leadership Forum Expert Insights, “23 Ways Executives Are Using AI,” BL Companies CEO Carolyn Stanworth shared how the firm is using AI to accelerate research and due diligence.
