I'm looking to meet people who are doing the real work of AI adoption in corporates, and to swap what's working, what isn't, and what's next. Peer to peer. No pitch.
Most AI content is either vendor hype or theory. I'm interested in the messy middle: what it actually takes to make AI stick inside a large organization.
Why so many proofs of concept stall, and what the teams that get past them do differently.
The human side: getting thousands of people to change how they work.
Moving fast without breaking trust, and getting ready for what's coming.
Any title, any industry. If you're shaping how AI is used in your organization, I'd like to hear your story.
Technology leaders turning AI ambition into platforms and delivery.
The people building the teams, the stack, and the first wins.
Those rewiring processes and operating models around AI.
Operators putting AI to work in risk, operations, sales, or customer experience.
The people keeping AI safe, fair, and on the right side of regulation.
Leaders overseeing AI strategy and asking the hard questions.
I've spent more than 15 years working between technology and leadership teams: as a Gartner Director Analyst advising CIOs, as a founder, and as the author of Fintech in a Flash and Fintech Founders.
These days I'm focused on how large organizations become genuinely AI-native, and I learn the most from talking with the people doing it. I'll happily share what I've seen across hundreds of conversations with senior leaders, and I'm keen to hear what you're seeing.
I'm based in Saudi Arabia, so I'm especially glad to meet peers in the Gulf, but I'd welcome a conversation with anyone, anywhere.
Nobody has AI in the enterprise fully figured out. We'll all get there faster if we talk to each other.
Tell me a little about what you're working on and what's on your mind. I'll reply personally to find a time that suits us both.
