Global Leaders Reunite: Insights from the GELF NYC Dinner and What’s Ahead for 2026

Michael LeBlanc and Jim Okamura reunite to break down insights from GELF’s NYC reboot dinner, where global commerce leaders shared experiences shaping international expansion. They discuss brand integrity, pricing architecture in a tariff-heavy world, organizational design for global teams and the explosive impact of AI on both consumer behaviour and operational workflows. They also outline GELF’s next-six-month agenda—including a Canada deep-dive live stream, an LA reboot dinner, and a 2026 global experts symposium.
