There’s a strong sense of urgency around AI adoption in enterprises — but we’ve been here before. Identity and Access Management promised security and control, yet struggled at scale not because of technology limitations, but because adoption, ownership, and operating models were underestimated. AI is walking into the same enterprise realities. In this short talk, I explore why AI success will depend less on models and more on leadership decisions — clarity of ownership, deci

In complex, regulated environments, adoption depends less on features and more on clarity of ownership, incentives, and decision rights. In this short talk, I share why enterprise platform adoption is fundamentally a leadership challenge. The focus isn’t on choosing b

In this short talk, I reflect on what scaling GCCs teach us about platform ownership and risk. The focus isn’t on adding more controls, but on designing ownership models tha

When those trade-offs aren’t clearly owned, teams compensate with friction, delivery slows down, and security becomes reactive. In this short talk, I share why I believe cybersecurity is fundamentally a
