Today, with the help of my amazing team, we held a succesfum bake sale in our NYC office to support UNICEF USA’s relief efforts for the children of Venezuela. A special thank you to Jasmine Ahmed, Christine Cody, Willem Brian Smith & Marta Serrano for helping me bring this together on such short notice, and to everyone who contributed, purchased something, shared a kind word, or supported the effort in any way. It means more than you know to feel that care when your heart is hurting for a place so close to it. I’m truly grateful for the kindness & generosity shown by my colleagues today! 🙏💛 For anyone who feels called to help, please consider donating to UNICEF USA or any foundation you trust supporting relief efforts in Venezuela.

From the Corporate Learning Network's recent Chief Revenue Officer Exchange. 👀 The average CRO lasts 17 to 25 months.😨 It's hard to call this a "job". It's really the equivalent of an audition. Yet, organizations expect this person to rebuild the #GTM motion, align #sales, #marketing, and #CustomerSuccess, implement a new tech stack, and hit numbers. At the #CROExchange in Miami, this stat landed like a gut punch 🥊from Mike Tyson. Not necessarily because it came as a surprise. Based on the visible reactions, every senior revenue leader there had either lived it, watched it happen to a peer or was currently going through the same struggle. Upon reflection, when you think about this stat, it borders on absurdity. The leaders who survive and ultimately thrive share a common thread. They don't try to do everything in year one. They pick the two or three levers that matter most, move fast on those, and build credibility through radical transparency rather than polished narratives. As one SVP in the room put it: the ability to stand up and own the bad alongside the good is what separates the CROs who last from the ones who don't.

✨ Yesterday we wrapped up the Future of Finance & CFO Select Executive Leadership Summit Over the past two days at #SSONSelect, Finance leaders came together for honest discourse around enterprise #transformation, workforce strategy, AI adoption, resilience, data storytelling, and the evolving role of the CFO. 🎤 Attendees heard from leaders including Richard Topping (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs), Rahul Malhotra (Integreon), Dr. Susan McKeon, DBA, MBA, PMP (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Nate Aschenbach (he/him/his) (ServiceNow), Joe Moawad (KPMG US) who shared practical insights and real-world perspectives leaders can take back to their organizations. 👥 Interactive challenge rounds and peer discussions created space for attendees to benchmark strategies, exchange ideas, and work through shared business priorities with fellow Finance executives. 🤝 1:1 Business Meetings continued to connect leaders with solution providers helping organizations rethink #Finance transformation, operational efficiency, automation, analytics, and enterprise strategy.
Our team at the Intelligent Enterprise Leaders Alliance often gets asked "so what is it exactly that you guys do?" We thought we'd post a quick answer to that question. #IELA conducts extensive proprietary research with senior IT executives charged with, generally, digital transformation of the enterprise, including the usage of #technology like: #ArtificialIntelligence; #IntelligentAutomation; #Cybersecurity; etc. We distill that research into industry-leading conference content that attracts the best, brightest and most proactive industry practitioners in the world. Within these intensely curated conferences, we embed one-to-one business meetings that put solution providers in front of the enterprise technology leaders who are actively making technology investment decisions. Our research team works year-round to understand what practitioners are prioritizing and in the process, surfacing the operational challenges, budget priorities and decision criteria that make every 1:1 meeting at our Exchanges substantively different from a trade show conversation. The quality of the rooms we build is the result of a rigorous participant qualification process that ensures every person across the table has an active mandate and the authority to act on it. We are now building the room for the Agentic AI Exchange in New York, November 4-6, 2026. If you are looking to learn, benchmark and connect with peers, please apply to sponsor or attend here 👇
Leading change is tough. It’s tougher when #HR is accountable for outcomes, but decision rights sit elsewhere. 🤝📌 In the April HR Shared Services Circle, Stacy M., Director, HR Shared Services & Systems, People Analytics and HR Programs at Lifemark Health Group, led a candid discussion on how HR leaders build influence across HRBPs, COEs, legal, and regional teams without losing consistency or momentum. 💬⚙️ View the recap to see what your peers are talking about in real time: https://lnkd.in/en-qp2qu

One of the most compelling keynotes at the Intelligent Enterprise Leaders Alliance's Agentic AI Exchange brought together Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam and Ali Arsanjani, PhD, Director of Applied AI Engineering and Head of GenAI Blackbelts at Google, to address one of the most underappreciated challenges of the agentic era: 🎯 As AI systems become more autonomous, the attack surface grows in ways most organizations are not prepared for. Their framework traced the evolution from RAG-based chatbots through coding agents to fully autonomous digital workers, mapping the governance challenges and vulnerabilities that emerge at each stage. The discussion highlighted how the risks do not scale linearly with autonomy. They compound. Real-world examples made the point uncomfortably concrete! 😱 The answer centers on Agent Behavior Analytics. That is, building audit trails that answer the fundamental questions every enterprise leader should be asking: ❓Who is doing what; ❓ Are policies being followed; and ❓Is the behavior of your agent out of context for its role 💡Lightbulb moment: Governing autonomous AI systems requires the same behavioral rigor we apply to human actors in security operations. The sooner organizations recognize that, the better positioned they will be.
