What does strong leadership look like when technology keeps changing the rules?
In this episode of Lead Human, Jack Myers and Tim Spengler sit down with Marc DeBevoise, media and technology executive President and Board Member of OverDrive, for a conversation about empathy, accountability, AI, timing, and leading mission-driven companies through transformation.
Marc shares the leadership framework he calls “empathetic accountability”—a style built around clear goals, honest expectations, and genuine support for the people doing the work. He reflects on lessons from the early internet boom, the long arc of digital transformation, and why he believes AI may follow a similar pattern: fast change up front, followed by years of deeper impact. He also explains how he helped drive urgency and turnaround at Brightcove, how he thinks about risk and timing, and why mission matters when choosing what to lead next.
The conversation also dives into OverDrive’s role in literacy, education, and access to books around the world, and why Marc sees human potential—not just technology—as the real source of long-term advantage.
