Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Gap Is Growing: Closing the Gender Gap in Tech and Marketing

Q: What are you seeing as the main ways companies can help women feel included and advance their careers?

Toast uses a twofold approach: strengthening recruitment partnerships to widen entry points and maintaining a Women in Tech community that supports belonging and psychological safety, plus a structured Champions Program that pairs women with male sponsors to advocate for them within the organization.

Privacy First, Guesswork Never How Synthetic Data Is Rewriting Marketing

Q: What does the future look like five years from now for synthetic data in marketing?

Marketing will have fully mainstreamed synthetic data usage across client types, from small agencies to large brands, with tools becoming more accessible inside organizations and policy decisions differing by industry; the core promise is more precise personalization with privacy-first data governance.

Privacy First, Guesswork Never How Synthetic Data Is Rewriting Marketing

Q: Tell me what you do day to day.

I advise startups, with a narrow thesis around AI and fintech, and I've built a venture studio model that works with a cohort of startups to identify market potential and help them grow, whether through pitching for new business or expanding their investor base.

Why Share It? Building Content That Connects

Q: Where do you see AI changing roles in marketing teams over the next few years?

AI will handle repetitive tasks and accelerate content creation, but strategic thinking, project management, and campaign leadership will remain human strengths that steer direction and North Star goals.

Why Share It? Building Content That Connects

Q: Are there any tactics that you've seen or strategic directions that you've seen where the pairing of the physical and online space are working really well to connect people?

In Canva's experience, pairing online community with in-person events—like large-scale tours—creates a tangible learning environment and strengthens user engagement by allowing people to interact with the product and with the community in real life.
