Ex-Gartner Analyst Debra Logan Launches Logan Advisory Services, Redefining Executive Leadership Amid AI Disruption
January 27, 2026, LONDON – Debra Logan, a former Vice President and Distinguished Analyst Emeritus at Gartner, has officially launched Logan Advisory Services (LAS), an innovative global advisory firm aimed at helping seasoned executives navigate the complexities of leadership in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. With a focus on enhancing legacy and presence, LAS offers a multifaceted approach that integrates AI strategy, leadership coaching, and behavioral science.
Logan, who co-founded Gartner’s Data, Analytics and AI Practice, identified a pressing need for experienced leaders to redefine their roles. Many executives currently grapple with an identity crisis, often outsourcing their decision-making to consultants or resisting necessary transformations.
“We are at a pivotal moment in leadership, where the definition of being human is shifting due to AI advancements,” Logan remarked. “Logan Advisory exists to restore clarity and build a legacy that balances intellectual insights with emotional intelligence.”
The motivation behind launching LAS was both professional and personal. Over her extensive career, Logan observed that even capable executives felt overwhelmed by the speed of change and lacked the support to cultivate essential skills and resilience for effective leadership in an AI-centric world. “We need courageous, self-aware leaders willing to adapt and grow,” she emphasized.
Unlike conventional consultancies, LAS operates as a collaborative partnership, reflecting the intricacies of modern leadership challenges. Its team includes experts such as Kristi Perdue, an AI strategist and author; Galina Datskovsky, a tech executive specializing in information governance; and Trina Requena, who emphasizes leadership presence through mind-body integration.
Key offerings of LAS include:
- Professional Advisory Sessions: Designed to help leaders discard outdated habits.
- AI Leadership Training: Focused on collaboration with intelligent systems.
- Behavioral Resilience Development: Based on neuroscience and narrative intelligence.
“Our clients seek real progress, not performance hacks,” Logan added, underscoring the significance of actionable learning and skill acquisition.
Looking ahead, LAS plans to introduce an AI Readiness Leadership Index in 2026 to assess leaders’ adaptability alongside AI. The firm will also launch a podcast, hosted by Logan, discussing human agency in business, alongside additional narrative content across platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube.
Logan anticipates skepticism regarding the firm’s potential to merely capitalize on AI trends and is prepared with a straightforward response. “Our insights stem from lived experience, not theoretical concepts. This initiative is rooted in genuine transformation,” she asserted.
