Accelerating Change: Celebrating Women and the Work Still Ahead

What lights you up about the work you do?

For me, it's this.
Fresh off Conga Connect in Orlando and straight into Enterprise Connect in Vegas, I hosted "Hot Takes & Cold Drinks" with two women who are redefining what leadership looks like in communications and technology.
⭐️ Millicent McIntyre, MSOB — 2026 Spotlight Award Winner, Senior Director, Buyer Services IAA
⭐️ Lori Wodrich — 2025 Winner & this year's judge, Senior Systems Engineer Amerisure Insurance

What resonated with me most was HOW they got there.
🔥Millie started in a contact center after cosmetology school.
No title. No roadmap.
She became the person everyone came to through curiosity, consistency, and caring deeply about people.
"Culture is the foundation of everything we do."
She meant every word.

🔥Lori's defining moment was A hackathon.
Surrounded by engineers far more technical than her, she almost changed her answer to fit in.
She didn't.
She held her ground. Shared her reasoning. And the entire panel shifted to her choice.
That's confidence backed by data.

Lori's Three S's I'm taking with me:
✅ Speak Up
✅ Say Yes — to growth, not every task
✅ Share Results

And here is Millie's closing wisdom:
Don't try to be like every other leader.
Be authentically, unapologetically YOU.

These are two women who didn't wait for a title to lead.
They showed up. Over-delivered. Built trust.
And the title eventually followed.

My biggest takeaway: Leadership is earned, not assigned.
Here is my personal hot take:
Sometimes you need to put down your to-do list and focus on your to-be list.
Who do you want to BE? Let that guide everything else.

Thank you, Millie and Lori, for being so open, so real, and so generous with your stories. You reminded all of us of what's possible. 🙌

And a heartfelt thank you to Erica Marois and Cheryl Kahan-Radhuber at Informa and Enterprise Connect for creating this space for women in communications. This is exactly the kind of platform our community needs. 💜

What did I learn from the OECD - OCDE Responsible AI Due Diligence Guidance?

Responsible AI is shifting from principles to accountability; clarifying who is responsible, at what point, and across the value chain.

👉 The real shift is from “Do we use AI responsibly?” to “Can we prove it — continuously?”

AI governance is becoming a core business capability rather than a compliance exercise.

I’ve broken down the insights that stood out to me me most in the carousel including where responsibility escalates, when scrutiny should be deeper, and why disengagement is sometimes the responsible choice.

Let me know what stood out to you 👇

5 Key Learnings from OECD Responsible AI Due Diligence

Are you modernizing your systems fast and wondering if you’re doing it securely?

In this short CXO Spice trailer, John Picinich and I touch on the real tension leaders are facing right now; moving quickly to innovate while making sure security, risk, and trust don’t fall behind. It’s a conversation about what works in the real world.

This builds on the themes from the #CXOSpice newsletter I shared three weeks ago on breaking down data silos in financial services, where we explored why governance, secure data movement, and a strong foundation are essential before layering on automation and AI.

I had the chance to host John Picinich at Progress Software to unpack:
✅ Where most organizations misjudge modernization risk
✅ How security teams can become enablers, not blockers
✅ What “secure by design” looks like in practice

🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gPq8B8Tg

And stay tuned. I’ll be hosting Progress Software’ Chief AI Officer Ed Keisling on agent orchestration soon.

What the #WomenInTech stage taught me at Acumatica Summit?

Have you ever walked into a room and felt momentum happening in real time?
Speaking at Acumatica Summit this year was one of those moments.

I left thinking less about the stage and more about the people. Leaders choosing courage over comfort. Learning out loud. Lifting each other higher.

A few lessons that stayed with me
✨ Confidence starts with the story we tell ourselves
✨ Preparation creates clarity when pressure rises
✨ Leadership means sending the ladder down

I shared a few deeper reflections in my latest newsletter. Check out the full story: https://lnkd.in/e2Ad_BXf

What the Women in Tech Stage at Acumatica Summit Taught Me?

What does success look like twelve months in if you go all in on a frictionless Commerce Chain?

I asked Lisa Martin, CRO of Conga during our interview at Conga Connect.
Her answer was precise.

Deal velocity accelerates. Deal volume grows. Revenue leakage stops hiding in quarterly post-mortems.

Most organizations look at discounting retrospectively. A scattergram tells you where you bled. Commerce Chain stops the bleeding.

A connected Commerce Chain changes the equation. You see where margin is slipping in the moment. You catch at-risk customers before renewal. You act on upsell signals the data was always telling you.

And when agentic AI matures inside that chain, it executes the insight.
Faster deals. Protected margin. Smarter renewals.

Commerce Chain Is the Revenue Operating System Your Business Has Been Missing

What does every business leader need to understand about the agentic era?

Here are 5 things I took away from Jensen Huang’s keynote at NVIDIA GTC:

1️⃣ Tokens are the new oil
Jensen redefined what a data center is.
Data centers are no longer places where we store files.
They are factories producing tokens.
Power goes in.
Data goes in.
Intelligence comes out.
Every watt of power you have is either generating revenue or wasting it.
The next metric CEOs may start tracking alongside EBITDA: tokens per watt.

2️⃣ The inference inflection
For years AI was a training story about who had the biggest models and the most parameters.
That era is over.
AI now must think, reason, and act in real time.
That requires inference at massive scale.
Compute demand has grown roughly 1,000,000× in two years.
That’s not hype.
That’s infrastructure reality.

3️⃣ Every SaaS company will become an AaaS company
Just as every company eventually needed:
• an HTTP strategy
• a cloud strategy
• a Kubernetes strategy
Every company now needs an agent strategy.
The question is no longer if.
It’s how fast.

4️⃣ The security model just changed
Agentic systems can:
• access sensitive data
• execute code
• communicate externally
Jensen said that out loud. Slowly.
Let that sink in.
The opportunity is enormous.
So is the risk.
In the agentic era, security and governance are the foundation.
The companies that get this right will win.

5️⃣ Synthetic data will unlock robotics
Real-world data will never be sufficient to train robots for every scenario.
Simulation closes the gap.
Synthetic data allows robots to learn faster than the real world can generate experience.
The GPT moment for autonomous systems may already be happening.
BYD, Hyundai, Nissan, and Geely just joined the platform, representing 18M vehicles per year.

The closing scene of the keynote said everything.
Robots and humans sitting around a campfire in a forest.
Playing music together.
The caption:
“The future’s here. Won’t you come and see.”
Not a warning.
An invitation.

Two stops worth making on the show floor today:
✅ Cisco Booth #1421 - The agentic era needs a secure foundation. I’ll be interviewing Kevin Wollenweber, SVP & GM of Data Center at Cisco, on what Secure AI Factory means at enterprise scale.
✅ Elastic Booth #3200 - Jensen said 90% of the world’s data is unstructured and largely inaccessible. Elastic is building the retrieval layer to unlock it. Don’t miss their sessions on eliminating the data bottleneck and how NVIDIA itself is using it.

The token factory is only as powerful as its security, networking, and data retrieval layers.

That’s the story continuing on the show floor.

What Boards and Security Leaders Must Know about AI-Driven Threats?

Last week, I hosted Mike Riemer, Field CISO at Ivanti on a webinar secure by design: prevent weaponized AI attacks with Kernel security strategies.

Mike put the stakes in sharp focus from the start:

Threat actors can reverse engineer a patch and weaponize it within 72 hours.
In some cases, attacks begin within 90 seconds of code being published.

Let that sink in.

This is not a technology problem you can delegate to your CISO.
It is a governance issue, and boards have a fiduciary duty to act.

In my latest newsletter, I cover:

✅ Why traditional perimeter defenses are failing
✅ What Secure by Design means  and how to hold vendors accountable
✅ Why kernel-level security is the new line of defense
✅ The questions every board and audit committee must be asking now

Knowledge without action leaves your organization exposed.

As AI-driven threats accelerate, kernel-level security has become the new line of defense.

Are you ready for it?

What Boards and Security Leaders Must Know About AI-Driven Threats and Kernel-Level Defense

Why are companies still using 8 platforms to move money?

I just saw a CFO’s finance stack:
Stripe. Wise. Ramp. Mercury. Chargebee.
Plus 3 international bank accounts.
Eight logins. Eight reconciliations.
And they’re still losing 4–6% on every international transaction.

Here’s the hidden tax 👇
You get paid €100K → converted to USD (≈3% gone)
You pay a European supplier → USD back to EUR (≈3% gone)
That’s 6% lost moving the same money in a circle.
On a $10M business? $600K/year.

This is why Airwallex exists.
One platform to:
✅ Accept global payments
✅ Hold 20+ currencies (no forced FX)
✅ Pay suppliers same-day
✅ Issue cards globally (zero FX fees)
✅ Open accounts in minutes
One integration. One dashboard.
Companies doing $10M+ internationally save $400K–$600K/year just by consolidating.

Airwallex just opened their second HQ in San Francisco. They're bringing global-first infrastructure to companies tired of fragmented stacks and hidden fees.

So Why are you still using 8 platforms to move money?

How do you prepare for the next frontier of transformation?

AI is reshaping how we build, decide, and serve customers; and getting ready means learning, experimenting, and connecting with others who are doing the same.

You’ll find a mix of business leaders and builders at the #MicrosoftAITour. 
People like me, are focused on turning AI ideas into real impact. What I love about this experience is how hands-on it is. You not only hear about the technology, but also get to explore it, build with it, and learn directly from Microsoft engineers and the community. From secure apps to agents and solutions using tools like Foundry and Copilot, you walk away inspired and ready to apply what you’ve learned.

This 20-second clip is a throwback to my favorite moments from the Chicago tour last September 🎥

When was the last time a support call made you feel heard?

After 2.3 million miles in the air and more support calls than I can count, I've come to believe we've been measuring customer experience all wrong.
We track resolution time. Handle time. CSAT scores. But nobody measures how it felt to be spoken to.

I've been hung up on agents who said all the right things and still left me feeling dismissed. And I've had problems go unresolved by agents who somehow made me feel taken care of anyway. The difference was never the script. It was tone. Pacing. The small human signals that say I hear you before a single solution is offered.

As executives, we've optimized everything we can see on a dashboard. But the felt experience of a conversation, that's been the blind spot.

That's what made me pay attention when I came across ElevenLabs' emotional voice agent. Because it points at something I've believed for years: conversational quality is product quality. And we're finally at the point where AI can deliver it at scale.

The leaders who get ahead of this won't just have faster support. They'll have support that people remember for the right reasons.

How many of your #security alerts matter?

Last quarter, my team reviewed 14,000 alerts. Only eleven led to investigation.
That's not a security program. That's noise with a compliance checkbox on it.

As a Board Director, the question I keep bringing back to leadership is simple: would we catch it before it happens?

Most organizations can't answer that with confidence. Not because they lack tools. But because they're measuring the wrong things. Volume of alerts. Hours logged. Endpoints covered. 

None of it tells you what the board needs to know: where is the human risk, and is it escalating?

The shift I've been advocating for is moving from reactive reporting to predictive intelligence. Not just flagging what already happened, but understanding behavioral patterns early enough to intervene before damage is done.

When I look at what predictive risk scoring is doing now, platforms like Teramind being able to detect behavioral shifts weeks before an incident occurs, that's the kind of intelligence that belongs in a board briefing.

Rule-based systems catch what you anticipated. Behavioral AI catches what you didn't. In insider risk, what you didn't anticipate is almost always what gets you.

Stop counting alerts. Start asking: what does this pattern mean?

When was the last time an AI investment delivered what it promised?

I've sat in enough boardrooms to know that question lands differently depending on who's in the room.

For most enterprises, the pattern is the same; a promising pilot, a growing consulting retainer, and a strategy deck that never quite becomes a production system.

That's the cycle Klika Tech built VELOCITY™ to break.

It's a 16-month, fixed-price program that takes organizations from AI uncertainty to a fully operational, self-sustaining AI capability. One contract. Five structured phases. And your team owns everything they build including the models, the infrastructure and the IP.

Team don't get paid for hours. They get paid for outcomes.

9 AI Jobs to Consider in 2026

What are the two things that define a world-class data center?

Here's what I learned from Equinix team at last year's NVIDIA GTC 
(watch the 1-minute clip below)
→ Environment - power, space, and cooling
→ Interconnectivity - dense access to public clouds and GPU-as-a-service

Equinix operates 280 data centers across 77 global markets. The London facility Aaron showcased was built with his in mind: 170,000 sq ft, 100% renewable energy, 99.999% availability, and 200+ cloud interconnection points all water-cooled.

Equinix also announced they'll be the first to offer the NVIDIA Instant AI Factory; fully provisioned AI infrastructure powered by DGX GB300 and B300 systems, across 45 global markets.

This year, I'm going deeper on the #sustainability side of all of this.
I look forward to speaking with Christopher Wellise, Global VP of Sustainability at Equinix to talk about what it takes to build and operate AI infrastructure responsibly; from closing the gap between pledges and results, to whether the industry is measuring the right things.

What does responsible AI governance look like when the infrastructure at stake is an entire city?

It's a question that I'm proud to have helped answer along with an exceptional group of experts in collaboration with AI & Partners.

In this whitepaper, Digital Public Services: Governance Challenges in AI-Enabled Smart Cities, we explore how we can build trustworthy, interoperable urban infrastructure as AI becomes central to transport, energy, health, and public administration.

Key takeaways:
✅ Interconnected systems create cascading risks - resilience must be built in by design
✅ Interoperability and open standards are governance tools rather than just technical ones
✅ Privacy-by-design is essential as sensor networks and data fusion expand across cities
✅ The EU AI Act creates real obligations for municipalities deploying high-risk AI
