As VP of CRM at Fabletics, Adrian is focused on building systems that make every message feel genuinely relevant at scale, while balancing the operational realities, governance concerns, and trust challenges that come with AI adoption.In this conversation, Adrian shares how Fabletics operationalized AI across CRM workflows, why he believes the future belongs to “personal relevance” rather than surface-level personalization, and what marketing leaders often misunderstand about AI implementation. From documentation and context layers to organizational buy-in and experimentation culture, this discussion offers a grounded look at how enterprise teams are navigating AI transformation without losing sight of customer trust, brand integrity, or team wellbeing.Resources from this episode:Join the CMO Club CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Adrian on LinkedInVisit Fabletics
