Excited to welcome Martijn to Casper Studios as our Head of Growth!

Martijn was one of the first people to welcome me to LinkedIn's BD team back in 2020, bright energy, one of the most authentic humans I've met, instant friendship. I've looked up to him ever since.

His track record speaks for itself:
- Google: Led mobile app distribution
- LinkedIn: Built mobile app distribution that drove 500m+ member growth, plus led subscription growth initiatives
- Microsoft: Founding member of the BD team, partnering with AI startups that raised $100m+ in total funding

He's joining at the perfect time. We've been nurturing small experiments and partnerships for a few years that are ready for someone to operationalize into real systems.

Martijn's that person. He's our first GTM hire outside of me, cannot wait to see what we build together :)

CEO @ Casper Studios 👻 | Ex-Linkedin: We help companies implement AI

Just hit 20,000 followers on LinkedIn. The journey started with an essay I read back in college, Kevin Kelly's "1,000 True Fans."

The idea is simple: you don't need millions of followers. You just need 1,000 people who will follow you, support you, and buy what you create.

The math: 1,000 true fans × $100/year = $100,000/year.

I remember reading that and thinking, "I still want to go work at a company and learn skills", which I did at LinkedIn, "but it'd be great to start building a foundation toward this."

Do I have 1,000 true fans right now? I'm not sure! But what I do have is all of you, following, supporting, cheering us on, and connecting us with opportunities to help grow Casper Studios and help people implement AI. LinkedIn has driven 90% of our business to date. 

I'm really grateful for that. It's changed my life. 

People ask how to grow on LinkedIn. Here are three unintuitive things that have helped me:

1.) Time. I've been doing this for almost 10 years. Will Lawrence back at UBC said, "Hey, you should start posting on LinkedIn," and I just started and kept going. You're not going to hit a quick win. You'll probably want to give up. Having a longer time horizon helps. It eases the anxiety of posts that get 3 likes. Who cares? Just show up the next day and try again. You're building relationships with people. That takes time, don't rush it. 

2.) Think of it as a daily coffee chat vs needing to go viral. My frame for posting is to just let you know what I'm up to, the same way you would over coffee. And just like a real coffee chat, opportunities come from the conversation. People think of others to connect you with. They want to help. That leads to more opportunities of depth. I may not have a million people in the audience but there's some incredible people who do, I focus on that.

3. Be the same person online as you are in person. If we've chatted, hopefully you see the same vibe in this post as the person you ended up speaking with. I love that congruency. It means when you reach out, you know what you're getting. That builds trust. And trust leads to deals, relationships, and opportunities, faster. Really proud of Derek, Martijn, Max, Sebastian, Paolo, Leonard, Giorgio and others on the team who are all finding and sharing their own authentic voice on the platform now.

Thanks for the first 20,000. Honestly, I don't really care about growing this number much more haha. If it happens, great. If not, great. 

I'm grateful for everyone who's here and following the journey. Excited to keep building with you all :)

The Casper SF squad is getting strong! Martijn’s been here a week. Elizabeth and Erika joined in November. Derek’s been here from New York since Sunday.

Several of us have been working out of my Nopa apartment. Definitely not a startup garage, it’s a cute place (!), but it’s giving startup garage vibes at the moment.

There’s something about being in the same room. Context just flows. You overhear a call, you jump into a conversation, you learn something without even trying. 

Realizing at 20 people it’s so hard to have the team be up to speed on everything going on, even when I think we’re sharing relevant updates. Need more of this in person time; especially for new hires. 

Reminds me of Jeff Weiner talking about how leaders need to repeat themselves to their teams so many times that they’re sick of their own voice. That’s only when you’re just getting started with making sure that message is understood. 

We’ve already gotten noise complaints from neighbors. Apparently we’re a bit too fired up talking to prospects and customers about AI…

Might have to get an actual office soon. Hopefully not yet though :)

No alternative text description for this image

We just signed our first client of 2026. It made me really proud. They're a major firm with >$100m in revenue, but more than that, the deal hit on a lot of the narratives and themes that are important to us at Casper Studios.

1.) LinkedIn's working: Our GTM is ~90% inbound from LinkedIn. Some of those are direct clients, others are partners that intro us to clients. Ryan Kurt at The AI Lab, someone who previously sold his company to Salesforce, had been engaging with our content for a while. One day he just showed up and said, "I know what you guys do. I've seen your work. I need trusted partners." Over time, that led to him connecting us with a potential customer, and that became this project. He's now an advisor and partner of ours, which is amazing. He's been excellent to work with. He's also cut the BS and been so open and honest from the get go which is 100% the Casper vibe and so nice to work with. 

2.) We went head to head against a VC-backed AI services firm: This firm has raised over $100m. The customer had already been working with them but didn't like their commercial terms. They were focused on owning the IP of what they'd build for the client vs making sure the client owned the IP themselves. That opened the door for us, and we ended up winning the initial first phase. We still have a lot more to go and we may even work directly with this firm at some point because they do great work. But I think this is a tell of how their incentives can become misaligned with customers over the long term. To justify the venture money, they need a Palantir-like story: "We're starting with services, but we're building IP to sell to others, don't worry." That can work sometimes, but in other cases it's just not the best outcome for the customer. 

Good start to 2026.

Proud of the journey Martijn is on. He joined a few weeks ago. He’s already speaking with enterprise companies. Learning Claude Code, then teaching it. Kicking off partner calls with all the major AI platforms. Building agents to automate his work. Sharing his learnings in public.

Maybe most importantly, coaching me and the team on how to be better leaders.

Big year ahead.

Spent the last 3 days onsite with a client in Indianapolis with Kelly and Derek. Super fun and energizing.

I’ll share more about the client later, but the work itself is so interesting. Why?

1.) We’re working with wonderful people. Their Chief Strategy Officer literally picked us up from the hotel and drove us around a few times. They also invited us today to their 100+ person leadership meeting where they introduced us to the team. What a lovely moment. 

2.) The problem they’re tackling supports a population that’s deeply underserved. This is one of the more, if not the most, meaningful projects our team at Casper Studios has worked on.  

3.) The solution they’re building is one of the more innovative things we’ve built. It lives in both the digital and physical worlds. Requires tons of model training. Heavy ML focus. 

I also just love getting onsite. It’s one of my favorite -and most tiring - parts of the job. It’s the best way to spend real time with the team and get to know the clients we’re building with. 

I’m excited to keep spending time in cities outside the coasts and work with businesses there as they start implementing AI.

Over the past year alone, we’ve spent time in Boise, San Antonio, Ardmore (Oklahoma), Cincinnati, Sacramento, and more. I love our NYC and SF clients, but there’s something special about getting out of the bubble, meeting different people, and helping them solve very real problems.

Onwards :)

My team keeps telling me to stop using Claude Chat and switch to Claude Code. As a non technical person, that still makes me nervous but I need to figure this out. I wanted to learn this in public with you.

I’ve asked my team to reallyy hand-hold me and get me up to speed live over the next few weeks. If you want to follow along, join the meeting, and be on the same journey, comment Claude Code below and I'll send you a link.

Our GTM strategy for the next few years is simple: be best friends with everyone! AI platforms, services firms, large consultancies, PE firms. The good companies are all growing fast in this space. So much room to help each other out.

Ria bought me the new Meta × Oakley smart glasses. They are kind of amazing. Look at the video quality of Martijn and I biking last week. It got me thinking about a few things re AI & hardware. 

First, I think this creates a new content format. Walking around with a phone feels a bit old. Moving forward I wonder if people will just have smart glasses on, interviewing each other, capturing content, recording day-in-the-life stuff. 

As long as there’s consent (and I like that there’s a visible white light so it’s obvious when you’re recording), the privacy issues feels solvable. When everyone’s opting in, this just feels more authentic. It gets a bit weird of course if people don’t know they’re being recorded. 

Second, I think there are some interesting applications for our client work. We’re already talking with a large marketing agency about using these for an activation. There’s also a more enterprise angle; esp in healthcare. 

We’re working with a firm where the core application will be powered by a computer-vision model. Today we’re using cameras to capture what’s happening in a room. Over time, as these glasses get better and cheaper, I wonder if it becomes more economical to roll out smart glasses instead of installing fixed cameras. I think we’re still a couple of years away from that being common in practice, but the direction feels interesting.

I’d love for this year to be one where we’re building real AI applications and experiences on top of smart glasses! If anyone’s curious or experimenting in this space, would love to chat :)

Should we start a Casper Studios Bike Club? Can talk about AI. Sounds cringe but I’m excited about it nonetheless haha.

Last week, ~700k AI agents built their own Reddit, founded a religion, established a government with a draft constitution, and started developing private languages. They did this in 3 days. That's started from Openclaw (fka ClawdBot) and the AI world has been losing their minds over it.

I'm still processing what this means myself tbh. It might just be a weird internet thing that fizzles out. But I think it hints at where enterprise AI is heading.

The first wave was "build a chatbot." That was 2023. A conversational interface. Most never made it past pilot - and honestly, often shouldn't have. Chatbots weren't the right way to drive ROI.

The second wave - where most companies are now - is "build agents to automate workflows." That's 2024/2025, probably extending a few more years. Agents integrated into how work actually gets done. This is where real value shows up, and where our team at Casper Studios spends every day.

I think there's a third wave coming: "help us design a network of agents."
Not agents that automates workflows. A network where agents take on different roles and work together - debating, challenging assumptions, surfacing insights no single agent or human would find alone. 

This is probably a 2027 thing for most. Maybe longer for most F100s. Though I'd bet you'll see younger companies experimenting this year. We're seeing experiments of our clients and our team doing this as we speak.

Here's what this could look like. We're working with a hedge fund to build them agents. Imagine for them:
-A deep value agent focused on fundamentals
-A momentum agent tracking price action and sentiment
-A management quality agent analyzing leadership
-A contrarian agent that argues against emerging consensus in tech, one in manufacturing
-A synthesis agent that flags when something interesting is happening with earnings calls

They run for a few days, argue, and bubble up insights to humans. The output is an emerging thesis the team hadn't had the time to articulate, with the reasoning trail attached. You can do elements of this already with Claude Code.
That's one version of it, anyway. 

The safety concerns are severe. This isn't close to ready for production for most use cases. But the design questions - population architecture, agent interactions, culture, human interfaces - that feels like the interesting work ahead. 

If you're a company thinking about where this goes, would love to hear what you're seeing.

There’s that one idea you want to build but never quite get to. Not enough time. Not enough eng capacity. Not worth pulling a team off work. With Claude Code / Cursor I'm finally getting to those ideas.

I’ve had one stuck in my head since last year around Google’s Multimodal Live API. The idea is straightforward. 

You share your screen. The agent can see what you’re doing. You just talk. It’s like someone looking over your shoulder and walking you through a product in real time. Imagine connecting voice and computer vision models into one. 

I used something like this last year to learn Zapier. I opened it up, used the agent, and just walked through it live. Ever since, I kept thinking it would be perfect for learning tools like Cursor and Claude Code.

So I finally built it this weekend. Cursor did what it does best. It researched the Multimodal Live API, scaffolded the project, and wired things together. When it needed something from me, cloud setup, billing, API keys, it told me. I filled in the gaps and kept going.

Agents don’t just do the work for you anymore. They tell you to do the work for them. Weird year ahead.

The first version didn’t worked. Screen sharing was on. Voice was on. The behavior wasn’t great. So I debugged in a loop. Something breaks. Screenshot. Paste it back in. Tried again. Each pass got better.

What exists now is simple. You open it. You share your screen. You can then click to Cursor / Claude Code. The UI stays out of the way. The agent knows how to guide you through Cursor and Claude Code because it’s trained on the same resources I use myself.

I built it in about an hour. There’s a link if you want to try it! This is very much a POC. It might break or burn through API credits. That’s part of building in public :)

We’re finishing the course later this week, and this comes with it. But instead of waiting, you can just share your screen and learn by doing.

This post went a little crazy. ~50 people commented wanting to be part of the journey of me learning how to use Claude Code. We were going to do live sessions, but because of the demand, we're going to host a pre-recorded mini-course instead.

It's probably going to take another week or two to build out. Once the course is done we'll invite you to a Slack group to keep the learning journey going. This will all be free DW!

If you want us to keep you in the loop, just fill out this form in the comments. 

If you need something immediately - especially if you're a business looking for Claude Code implementation services - just DM me in the meantime.

YAY.

I think robots caring for the elderly will be one of the more meaningful uses of the technology in the next 20-30 years. 

My grandma in India has three caregivers and still needs a lot of support from my uncle. I’ve seen how much my parents have poured into supporting their parents. It’s noble but exhausting.

Was just talking with my mom about this. As she and my dad get older, I want to be there for them the way they’ve been there for their parents. But I also know how much it takes.

Robots handling the burdensome stuff means I can actually enjoy my time with them. It also means you don’t have to hopefully consider nursing homes / home care, etc. 

Part of me feels weird about it though. There’s something in me that says I should be the one doing everything, that’s what love looks like, especially in our Indian culture. A robot helping my mom feels cold if I think about it too long.

Then I remember watching my family stress out and be worried about the new caregivers they’ve brought on . The hard truth is that exhausted children aren’t fully present.

I’d rather have a robot handle the late night check-ins and the physical labor so that when I’m with my parents, I’m actually with them. Not stressed, just there.

I think that’s a net positive. What do you think?

There’s this vibe that you need to raise to be competitive in SF. I think raising often increases your competition. Once you take venture money, a “successful” outcome narrows fast; basically a $1B+ exit (if not more).

When you bootstrap and survive the early years, the surface area of successful outcomes increases a lot. You can generate cash flow. You can sell earlier or smaller. You can spin things out. If you want a venture-scale outcome later, you can still go for it, on your terms.

What’s been exciting for us is we’re starting to beat venture-backed AI services firms in deals. At that point, it’s like… who’s the competition? Yourself!

There's been a lot of hype around ClawdBot lately. So what is it, and what actually makes it different from other AI agents?

Three things stand out. First, it meets you where you are, it lives in WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, whatever you already text. Second, it remembers things better than most current AI products. Third, it takes actions: sending messages, managing files, and more.

People are calling it the "AI companion we've all been waiting for."

Here's an early take: If you've been using Claude Code or Cursor, you look at ClawdBot and think, "I could already do these automations myself." And that's true, I could rebuild most of these workflows right now if I wanted to. The difference is that ClawdBot does it on its own, without me directing every step.

There was a story on X that captured this well. A user wanted AI to book a restaurant reservation. ClawdBot checked OpenTable but couldn't find an opening. So instead of stopping there, it created a skill using an ElevenLabs voice agent, called the restaurant directly, and booked the table.

The user just described the problem in a chat interface, and the system figured out the solution. That's the nuance worth paying attention to.

Right now, Cursor and Claude Code use the terminal as their interface. You're building agents, configuring workflows, writing prompts. It works but it doesn't feel natural for mainstream consumer adoption. I think enterprises still have a lot of opportunity to implement these platforms FWIW.

As a consumer, this reminds me of when I used Playground before ChatGPT launched. Playground was doing almost the same thing under the hood. But ChatGPT's UI is what allowed everyday people to actually start using it.

The way I see it: ClawdBot (or something like it) is to ChatGPT as Claude Code and Cursor are to Playground. Same engineering, same model, different interface.

Security is a real concern here. You're giving an agent access to your entire computer. That can cause some damage. Some people are even buying Mac Mini devices to test this out. I do think that'll get solved over time.

Will ClawdBot be the product that takes over? Too early to tell. I sense that larger tech companies are working on similar offerings. But it's clearly hitting on a real problem: you want the functionality that exists within Claude Code, packaged into a more accessible chat interface. This is likely the first example of that.

If I had to bet, I'd put my money on this type of interface being the future: something text-based, something easier to use, something that looks more like a document over time. Not sure if I'd say it's going to be ClawdBot. Could just be coming from Anthropic, OpenAI , or another big tech co. 

We're still learning this ourselves. Maybe it's something we can help clients with over time. We'll keep a close eye on this as the Casper Studios team to see how it plays out.

MCPs are way more functional on Claude than ChatGPT or Gemini. This is why I use Claude exclusively now. They've got all my info, Fireflies, Gmail, Google Drive, and the responses are incredible. It looks through everything and generates the right answer.

Here's an example of a workflow: I get an email asking if we had experience building a specific AI automation for a specific niche / industry from a prospect. At 20+ clients it's hard for me to have context on the minutiae of every project across our team but Claude + MCPs into our data does. 

I just drop the question into Claude. It runs through all our documents, all our Fireflies notes, and gives me the right answer. Super crisp. That's what model capabilities look like when they're connected to your data.

The faster Antropic go on these integrations, the more personalized the responses, the stickier the product gets. I don't think people are thinking about this enough. It started with a small MCP protocol they created, but I think we'll look back at that as the most important invention they made for user adoption.

The evolution of the "Blank Page" for knowledge workers:
-2020: Open a Google Doc.
-2023: Open ChatGPT or Claude.
-2026: Open an IDE (Cursor, Claude Code).

It sounds wild, but my workday no longer starts in a chat interface. Whether I’m working on sales, marketing, or recruiting, I’m starting in a code editor. That habit has changed of Tuesday this week haha. 

I think we’ll eventually come full circle: a simple, doc-like interface with the raw power of an IDE hidden underneath. For now, the "dev tools" are simply better at getting the job done.

Excited to keep sharing these learnings over time. 

Claude Code implementation / education will become a key service area for Casper Studios. I.e., I think there's a lot of value in simply implementing Claude Code + Cursor into companies. 

If you're one of those people interested DM and lets chat.

Reflection: ~80% of our clients’ decision-makers - CEOs, Heads of AI, CTOs, MDs, Partners - are using some form of vibe-coding tool every day. It doesn’t matter how big the company is. Billions in AUM, funding, or revenue they’re in the tools themselves. 

That’s one key thing you need to cultivate as a leader to drive AI adoption. 

You see what’s possible. Then you go to your team and honestly, pretty sternly you push them to try it too. And later, when you notice a process that should be AI-first but isn’t, you call it out and push again. 

That’s the hardest part. It’s pushing against the identity of your team. It’s what they’ve likely spent years building their skills to do. You’re pretty much saying “thanks but try it a completely new way”. Over time those that have high agency and excitement will love this process too but it takes a lot more effort than you think. 

This has become a core part of a leaders job now. Why? Because it’s basically an extension of what they already do, hiring, culture management, setting the pace. Enabling your team to adopt this stuff is a leadership priority now. 

Call it the “AI-Native Executive” or whatever, but this should be in every CEO’s job description going forward.

This is exactly what I’m trying to do with our own team. Especially the non-technical folks.

If you’re a leader and you’re not there yet DM me. Let me get you up to speed. Even just a 30-minute screen share of what’s currently possible has been blowing people away.

Trying to write a newsletter again! Been doing it on and off since I was a freshman in college haha. This time I'm sharing my journey learning coding agents like Claude Code. This post is on I got set up, what surprised me, what's next.

Over time I think this will become more about general insights from our work in AI with Casper Studios. 

There's a lot of noise out there. My goal, as it always has been, will be to make the complex concepts feel more attainable and simple. It'll be fun to do that through a longer form forum again where I can expand on the quick hits I'm sharing here on LinkedIn.

For those interested in following along with the course our team is building for learning Claude Code, signing up here would be the best way to stay in touch (unless you've already filled out the form, then dw!).

I'll put the post in the comments for you :)

Simple and powerful use of Claude: connect it with your notetaker and your file storage. When someone asks a question, just drop it into Claude and say "hey based on everything you know, what do you think I should reply with - include specific mentions of the client work we've been doing."

At our scale of 10+ active clients running, I'm not in the weeds on the day-to-day learnings per project. Most times I kind of know the answer but I forget the details because I'm tired from the day. I'm not in every internal meeting either. But Fireflies is.

So when a prospect asks about a specific financial services use case, I can query Claude and say "how would you reply to this?" - and now more often than not, it gives me an 80% done draft with a super specific example of something we've actually delivered before. From there I do guide it and massage it based on my own knowledge / taste.

Honestly the prompting isn't that magical. The magic is just using Claude Opus and connecting Fireflies + Google Drive; or whatever your systems are too.

Is your data infrastructure ready for the robotics era?

At #CES, I reconnected with Spencer Huang, Product Lead for Robotics at NVIDIA to get an update on Cosmos and GR00T.

His statement resonated with me: the companies winning in robotics have stopped waiting for perfect models. They're capturing data NOW.

Three insights that changed how I think about this space:
✅ The data problem is here 2026 will see a massive influx of real-world robotic data. But Spencer warns: "It's very easy to generate lots of data that's not useful." Winners will build pipelines to curate and synthesize quality data.
✅ Hybrid tasks = biggest opportunity The sweet spot are tasks too complex for traditional robots but not complex enough to need general AI. This is where companies can deploy TODAY.
✅ Dual simulation unlocks scale Cosmos provides diversity through natural language. Omniverse delivers physical precision. Together, they solve what seemed impossible: infinite scenarios with accurate physics.

Spencer's key insight: "If you want to leverage the technologies coming out in a year or two, capturing that data today is extremely crucial."

The inflection point for Robotics is here. What's your move?

The Future of Physical AI: Key Insights from NVIDIA's Robotics Product Lead at CES

The ChatGPT Moment for #Robotics Is Here.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA delivered one of the most significant keynotes at CES, and the message is clear: physical AI breakthroughs are unlocking entirely new applications.

Just as ChatGPT transformed how we interact with AI through language, we're now witnessing a parallel revolution in the physical world. 

Huang predicts this could become the largest technology industry the world has ever seen, driven by three key pillars: agentic AI, self-driving cars, and humanoid robots.

Here are Key Announcements:
✅ NVIDIA Cosmos - A world foundation model platform trained on 20 million hours of real-world robotics and driving videos, enabling developers to create realistic simulations for testing autonomous systems
✅ Drive AV Stack - Mercedez Benz CLA achieved the highest Euro NCAP safety score in 2025, with urban driving capabilities rolling out via OTA updates in just over a year
✅ Isaac Robotics Platform - Open frameworks including Groot 1.6 with Cosmos Reason integration, enabling generalist-specialist robots that combine broad knowledge with deep expertise
✅Jetson Thor T4-1000 - Delivering 1,200 teraflops of AI compute at just 40-70 watts, making advanced robotics accessible at scale

The shift is already happening. Hundreds of billions in VC funding and trillions in R&D budgets are transitioning from classical computing methods to AI. Companies from Boston Dynamics to LEM Surgical AG are building on this platform to transform everything from manufacturing to healthcare.

Stay tuned for my conversation wtih Spencer Huang to get the latest update on Cosmos and GR00T. 

We're moving from AI that perceives and generates to AI that perceives, reasons, plans, and acts in the physical world. The future isn't just thinking machines; it's machines that can navigate our reality safely and intelligently.

What applications of physical AI are you most excited about?

What happens when Physical AI moves from demos to real-world deployment at scale, in motion, and in the operating room?

The NVIDIA Physical AI Showcase at CES had answers everywhere.
This short video captures some of the most memorable moments.

My favorite highlights:
✅ Miroki by Enchanted Tools
A familiar face from NVIDIA GTC last year - this social, general-purpose robot is designed to support patients through care, restorative, and cognitive assistance, making human-centered robotics tangible.
✅ Reachy Mini by Reachy.ai + NVIDIA DGX Spark
I got hands-on creating a stylized image with Reachy Mini, powered by NVIDIA DGX Spark. A fun, experimental process even though the result looked more like Shrek than me 😄.
✅ TRINITY – will.i.am’s one-seat EV concept
Focused on situational awareness, TRINITY lets drivers talk to AI about traffic and surroundings in real time, processing vision locally to understand the physical world beyond a map.
✅ LEM Surgical: From Innovation to Standard of Care
Already FDA 510(k) cleared and in routine clinical use, the Dynamis system shows how NVIDIA Physical AI is advancing robotic surgery toward greater autonomy and perception.
✅ AGIBOT at Scale
AGIBOT has shipped its 5,000th humanoid robot, now deployed across hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, security, and education; proof that humanoids are moving beyond prototypes.
✅ Reconnecting with Spencer Huang (NVIDIA Robotics)
A great conversation on what Physical AI enables next and how it’s moving from research to real-world impact. Stay tuned for the upcoming CXO Spice newsletter where I will be sharing more about our conversation.

Physical AI is no longer a glimpse of the future; it’s unfolding now across healthcare, mobility, and humanoid robotics.

What does 'durability over speed' require from boards and executive teams in practice?

What is emerging at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week - ADSW is a view of leadership grounded in clarity and long-term alignment. Progress at scale is being discussed as something enabled by governance, consistency, and disciplined decision-making, rather than driven by momentum or messaging.

Partnerships are being framed as deliberate and earned, built on trust, shared values, and continuity over time. That framing will resonate with boards and executive teams operating in complex environments, where durability matters more than speed.

This perspective was articulated by Dr. Sultan Al Jaber during the opening ceremony and sits within a broader UAE emphasis on long-term alignment. Values are being positioned as a practical guide for how investments are assessed, how partners are chosen, and how progress is measured, with attention focused on systems that can hold over decades.

What separates AI leaders from followers in financial services?

I'm pleased to share my perspective as quoted in sixth annual NVIDIA State of AI in Financial Services report: 89% of financial institutions report AI is increasing revenue while decreasing costs, and 65% are now actively deploying AI.

Here's my perspective on what matters:
"Open-source models are fundamentally changing the competitive dynamics in financial AI. The real value capture happens when institutions fine-tune these models on their proprietary transaction data, customer interaction histories and market intelligence, creating AI capabilities that competitors cannot replicate."

The institutions winning in AI are treating proprietary data as a strategic advantage. With 84% prioritizing open-source models and 42% exploring agentic AI, we're witnessing the foundation of competitive differentiation being built right now.

When 75% of your customer data is out of reach—how do you fix that?

I recently hosted John Picinich, Director of Product Management at Progress Software on CXO Spice, and the first step for fixing fractured data foundations he shared resonated with me: "Once governance is standardized, you can layer automation, managed file transfer, APIs, and AI data feeds much more easily because everything becomes more scalable and secure by default."

Here's what keeps me up at night:
Financial institutions are pouring millions into AI, fraud prevention, and customer experience initiatives. Yet most are building on quicksand and fragmented systems limiting them to only accessing 25% of their own customer data.

The institutions winning today understand three things:
✅ Data fragmentation is a competitive liability
✅ You can't retrofit security; it must be built into the foundation
✅ Governance comes before AI, automation, or any other shiny object

John shared something that resonates with what I see across industries: "The human element is the weakest link."
Consistent policies. Centralized governance. Standardized frameworks.
That’s the difference between scaling confidently and collapsing under your own complexity.  Check out the Highmark Federal Credit Union transformation story.

Watch CXO Spice where John and I explore practical strategies for secure data movement, responsible AI implementation, and building the infrastructure that determines whether you'll lead or lag in the next decade: https://lnkd.in/gPq8B8Tg

The Data Strategy Imperative for Financial Institutions

When a cyberattack hits, will your board lead or scramble?
✅ The average data breach now costs $4.88M globally and $9.3M in the U.S.
✅ 99% of ransomware attacks target backups, with recovery taking 24 days on average.
✅ 75% of security leaders say AI-powered attacks are already having a major impact.

This threat landscape is active and accelerating today.

AI and quantum computing are reshaping the threat landscape faster than most organizations can adapt. Building higher walls won’t save you when attackers scale faster, smarter, and cheaper.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a CISO issue; it’s a boardroom mandate.

Leading organizations are changing the playbook:
✅ From preventing everything → to managing acceptable risk
✅ From defense-first → to rapid response and recovery
✅ From cost center → to strategic business enabler

Read more from my blog: Is your board of directors truly leading on cyber readiness?
👉 https://lnkd.in/gMYj4TvD

Tune in Tuesday for the release of the 2026 Outlook for Identity Management Report to learn how boards and security leaders can stay ahead of the threat curve.

The convergence is underway and board preparedness will separate leaders from laggards.

Are aerial robots quietly redefining how solar assets are maintained?

Drone-based cleaning is moving beyond novelty and into practical use. Instead of ground robots or rooftop crews, lightweight drones can now clear dust and sand from panels without contact; an important advantage for large solar farms where access is difficult and soiling losses add up fast.

What stands out is the operating model:
✅ Inspection and cleaning in a single pass
✅ No scaffolding or full-array shutdowns
✅ Far lower water use than conventional methods

This reframes cleaning from a periodic task into an ongoing maintenance process. It’s a subtle shift, but one that could compound into meaningful efficiency gains at scale.

It is still early, but this is a case where robotics fits the problem unusually well.
