# Daisy Auger-Domínguez

**Profile.** Daisy Auger-Domínguez is **Chief People Officer at [[entity-digital-asset|Digital Asset]]**, a fast-scaling, heavy-engineering fintech operating in a regulated market and going through a significant maturation moment. She is known for work on people strategy, diversity, and inclusion.

**Role in the source.** One of three sitting chief people/HR officers on the HBR panel moderated by [[entity-adi-ignatius|Adi Ignatius]]. She is the panel's most contrarian and structurally-minded voice — repeatedly reframing employee resistance and caution as rational signals rather than obstacles.

**Attributed contributions in this vault:**
- [[concept-five-ai-relationships]] — the four-to-five concurrent organizational relationships with AI.
- [[concept-responsible-leadership-caution]] — caution as responsible leadership in regulated industries.
- [[claim-pessimism-reflects-tension]] — employee pessimism as a rational read on structural tension.
- [[claim-hr-must-own-ai-strategy]] — HR must co-own AI strategy (with the [[entity-klarna-d10|Klarna]] cautionary tale).
- [[claim-middle-managers-highest-friction]] — middle managers as the true friction point (confirmed with Ignatius).
- [[framework-managerial-clarity-triad]] — 'What do we have / need / what's at risk?'
- [[action-create-low-stakes-testing-space]] — create breathing room for safe experimentation.
- [[prereq-human-judgment]] — human judgment as a baseline before automation.
