What organizers need, in the order they ask for it. The bios are in third person and copy in one press.
Topics
- Governing AI before it governs the company: shadow tools, data handling, vendor claims and the line between a controlled rollout and use nobody approved.
- Agentic AI as a redesign of work: where an agent should take a process, what still needs a person, and how a leader tells those apart.
- Leading through growth and experimentation: why pilots die in the team that ran them, and when to double down instead of going wide.
- Earning C-suite buy-in for technology investment: framing in business terms and keeping a program moving when priorities compete.
- Integration and multi-cloud after acquisitions: making nineteen companies one system without disrupting the customers who depend on it.
