Larry Mallak is an expert in systems engineering management and leadership for high-tech organizations. He studies and teaches how organizations integrate complex technologies and lead in high-uncertainty environments. His work examines how engineering leaders bridge technical and human dynamics. He is a fellow of the American Society for Engineering Management. His expertise is especially relevant as many workplaces and employees navigate disruption and change associated with the implementation of artificial intelligence.

Mallak can speak with reporters about topics including:

• How leaders can navigate AI adoption among employees and customers
• How NASA space missions exemplify the importance of systems engineers, who work across engineering and business teams to keep big projects moving forward.
• Why successful engineering leaders are the ones who understand how to work with and manage people.
• New product development – the processes and systems that work.
• How engineering and non-engineering teams can work well together.
• Systems failures
