"If you're in the world of solutioning whatever it may be, whether it's digital or it's working with donors, if you raise your empathy, you'll find that you start to understand the audience you're trying to reach. That counts for digital. It also counts for just about everything else." - Corey Unger

Corey has an extensive background in guiding ministries through digital transformation and growth strategies. With previous experience in denominational leadership and involvement in large, distributed, federated platforms and AI, Corey brings a wealth of expertise in understanding the convergence of technology and human interactions. His insights into the impact of AI on churches and organizations, alongside his emphasis on human-centered design thinking, offer valuable perspectives for Christian ministry professionals seeking innovative strategies for organizational development in the digital era.
