What you'll learn

Why AI adoption feels impossible

The people who understand the technology don't understand your job. You understand your job, but not the technology

What "figuring it out yourself" actually costs

What can go wrong when people try to wing it, and what to look for so you don't waste time on the wrong tools.

What you actually need to move forward

A clear picture of the framework and working knowledge required to make AI work for your specific role and workflows.

Why this topic matters

AI isn't going away, and the pressure to do something with it is real. But most of the advice out there was written for people who already understand the technology — not for professionals who need it to work inside their actual jobs. This session cuts through the noise and gives you an honest picture of why this is hard, what's getting in your way, and what a real path forward looks like.

Deep Data & Product Leader — 15 years turning cool tech into business outcomes

I've spent 15 years delivering technology to enterprise, manufacturing, and regulated industries — as the person who sits between the technology and the business and makes sure both sides understand each other.

My superpower is understanding complex technology and making it digestible to the people who want to buy it, use it, and stake their business on it — sometimes without having a technical background to fall back on.

My background spans product leadership at ZoomInfo, Cape Privacy, expert.ai, and Arch Systems. I've worked with Fortune 500 manufacturers, insurance and banking clients, and regulated-industry buyers who can't afford to get it wrong.

I teach what I've lived: how to cut through the hype, ask the right questions, and make technology actually deliver.
