As AI increasingly generates content, is it creating a better internet—or is it quietly eroding the authenticity we value online?

oday, we’re excited to welcome Nick Gernert, CEO of WordPress VIP, the enterprise CMS behind some of the biggest media and enterprise websites. With extensive experience overseeing a platform that powers millions of websites, we’ll explore how AI is transforming the digital landscape and where human creativity fits in this new paradigm.

For over 20 years, Nick Gernert, CEO of Wordpress VIP, has been a key evangelist of open source technology, working across the open web to build the next generation of enterprise digital experiences. In his role as CEO of Wordpress VIP at Automattic, Nick leads the company’s overall business strategy, working with partners to expand the business and drive the commercial growth and executive adoption of Wordpress as they disrupt and lead the enterprise content management market.

Before joining Automattic, Nick was an advisor to Transform’s executive team up until their acquisition by Dbt Labs, and held the title of Senior Vice President of Digital at Voce Communications. Nick holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Central Florida’s College of Business Administration and is an Innovation Fellow at the Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurship Center at Columbia Business School.
