Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marjorie Janiewicz of Mistral AI: flipping the adoption curve - why SaaS with data can win in an AI world
Q: How does Mistral differentiate in the current AI landscape and why is independence in AI valuable?
Mistral focuses on an end-to-end, vertically integrated stack (models, apps, tooling, compute) that lets customers deploy anywhere and customize to their data, offering true independence from single-vendor constraints.
Marjorie Janiewicz of Mistral AI: flipping the adoption curve - why SaaS with data can win in an AI world
Q: What are the common threads you look for when joining a large software company?

Evan Goldberg of NetSuite: 3 decades and 2 platform shifts
Q: Can you give concrete examples of the autonomous agents and how they will change day-to-day CFO workloads?
The guest describes autonomous
Evan Goldberg of NetSuite: 3 decades and 2 platform shifts
Q: What do you see as the fundamentally similar and different between the two tectonic platform shifts (cloud and AI) for the Office of the CFO?
The host asks about similarities and differences between cloud and AI transitions; the guest explains that while both unlock new capabilities and customer adoption, AI promises far deeper changes in decision-making and operational visibility, demanding trustworthy data and a refined approach to implementation, not just technology adoption.
The race for alpha: Varun Anand of Clay on inventing a new role and why GTM needs a new AI strategy
Q: What makes go-to-market different from coding or support in terms of AI adoption, and why does it need a different approach?
Go-to-market relies on alpha, human insight, and creativity to generate edges; AI can accelerate but cannot replace the need for unique strategic thinking and interpretation of customer context.
