Spent two days at TechEx North America this week in San Jose. Two full days of enterprise AI, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and some genuinely sharp conversations. But the one that landed hardest happened inside a twenty-person IBM VIP Roundtable led by IBM AI Field CTO Sunil Murthy. I made a point during introductions that got nods from around the table: We are investing billions in making AI stronger. Are we investing enough in the people who work alongside it? That question stayed with me for the rest of the conference. Three things I took away from the floor: Every vendor is talking about AI tools and infrastructure. Very few are talking about the humans who have to adopt, govern, and sustain them. Change management is no longer a soft skill! It is the execution layer for every AI and digital transformation initiative on the market. The organizations that will win are not the ones with the best models. They are the ones who close the gap between what technology can do and what their people are actually ready to do. Tools without adoption are just expensive. Transformation without people is just change for change's sake. That is the work I have spent twenty years doing, and it has never felt more relevant. Grateful for listening to speakers like Sandeep Sahai and all of the conversations this week including two IBM VIP hosted events that brought together small groups of leaders for engaging debate and networking. I appreciated the transparency that Jonathan Brasch and Mario Gurgel had during the lunch event on everything from working remotely, to AI and the moral of teams, to the future of early career talent trying to find their way in to the workforce. The energy, validation, and AI knowledge share from Charlotte Hawkes and the team at Prosci got me excited, and from Carina Ruiz Singh a partner at Deloitte who valued the operator perspective and what it looks like from the inside of transformations, not just alongside it will stay with me well beyond this week. Grateful to have been there and already looking forward to what comes next! #TechExNorthAmerica #AI #DigitalTransformation #ChangeManagement #Leadership

As AI adoption accelerates, governance is becoming a critical part of scaling innovation responsibly. In this video interview from TechEx North America, Rohini G., Sr. Product Leader at Kaiser Permanente, discusses why AI governance must be embedded across product, engineering, security, legal and business teams, not treated as a standalone function. A key takeaway from the conversation was the importance of operationalising governance through clear ownership, risk-based controls and cross-functional accountability. When governance is integrated into everyday workflows, organisations can innovate faster while maintaining safety, trust and compliance. Rohini also shared her perspective on emerging themes across the event, including the rise of Physical AI and the growing infrastructure supporting the “AI everywhere” movement. Watch the full interview for insights into how organisations can build scalable, responsible AI strategies while balancing speed, security and accountability. #AI #AIGovernance #ResponsibleAI #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Healthcare #EnterpriseAI #Data #Leadership #TechEx #TechEvents #ArtificialIntelligence #Compliance #Security First Sight Media

TechEx San Jose 2026 is a wrap, and it was one of the best yet. One of the Highlights, I sat down for an interview with Joe Green from TechForge right on the event floor. We talked about how RavenDB has evolved from a developer-first database into a one-stop-shop for performance and AI, what it means to bring vector search and RAG pipelines directly inside the database, and why 95% of AI projects never make it to production and what we are doing about it. Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dQWNY_Jc What made this show stand out: 1/ The crowd was serious. Booth #270 drew founders, CEOs, CIOs, engineers, and architects, all with the same thing in common: real problems that need real solutions. These are not people kicking tires. They are decision makers who have felt the pain of the wrong database choice, watched AI projects stall before they even started, and are actively looking for a better answer. Those are the conversations worth flying across the world for. 2/ The raffle brought the energy. But the dialogue is what kept people. From reducing time to market, to cutting operational costs, to standing up AI workflows in weeks instead of years, the conversations at our booth were exactly the ones that matter. 3/ The AI question came up in every single conversation. And the answer was always the same. Businesses do not want to build a patchwork of integrations just to get AI working. They want one platform that handles their data, their indexing, and their AI layer together. That is what RavenDB delivers, and the market is starting to feel it. And the team. (Austin Wilson, Lucas Tavares, Szymon Kulec) These guys showed up every single day, gave everything at the booth, and still had energy left for the jump shot at the end. None of this works without them. Thank you, San Jose. Thank you, TechEx. Thank you to everyone who visited, challenged us, and connected.

Last week (May 18-19) at TechEx North America in San Jose, I had the privilege of joining two important conversations about the future of cybersecurity leadership. On Day 1, I joined the panel discussion, “The Human Factor — Empowering the CISO and the C-Suite,” moderated by Becky Bracken from Dark Reading. The discussion focused on communication, executive alignment, trust, culture, and how security leaders can better connect technical risk to business decisions. On Day 2, I delivered my solo session, “Intelligent Defense — Securing Innovation in the Age of Cloud & AI.” What stood out to me most was not only what happened on stage, but the conversations afterward. Security leaders, startup founders, practitioners, and industry partners came forward with thoughtful questions about AI, cloud, trust architecture, and the changing role of the CISO. Those conversations confirmed something I strongly believe: Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical function. It has become a leadership function. In the age of AI, everything is moving faster — innovation cycles, product cycles, decision cycles, and attack cycles. But speed without trust becomes chaos. The next generation of security leadership will not be defined only by how well we stop attacks. It will be defined by how well we help the business move faster, safer, and with greater confidence. Security cannot remain only the brake. Done right, security becomes the steering, suspension, and control system that allows the organization to accelerate. Thank you to TechEx, Michael Hughes, Christiana, Becky Bracken, my fellow panelists Nicholas DeMeo, Hiranya M., and everyone who joined the discussions in San Jose. The future of cybersecurity leadership is not just about defense. It is about building trust at the speed of innovation.

What a week! So much fun to speak on a GenAI panel with other #DigitalTransformation leaders Daniela Busse, Ph.D., Raymond Mitten, Michael Folkers sharing amazing insights. But that was just the beginning of the cool things happening: 📡 Transmission.co showed power transmission by railroad rails (upper right) 📡 HP's SitePrint bot paints blueprints on a construction surface (bottom right) 📡 Learned from Ken Johnston @ AiGovOps Foundation how to automate AI compliance with 23+ governance frameworks (bottom right) Here are my key insights... 💡Dialog is not enough. Mind the different language IT and Business use to describe the same problem. 💡Pilots are not enough. Digital initiatives struggle when the business case doesn't scale. 💡Code is not enough. Digital transformation without the physical dimension is merely 1-dimensional. 💡Hardware is not enough. Energy is the #1 technology challenge today. Thanks to TechEx Events and Attul S. for the invitation and an excellent event. #BusinessAgility #Digital #DigitalFactory #TransformationLeadership

Back from #TechEx North America in California and still processing everything. :) The energy (Yeah, I know, Vibe!) at this event was something else. Every conversation, every panel, every hallway chat circled back to one thing: AI isn't just shaping digital transformation anymore; it's disrupting it. And you dont have the option now not to consider AI as part of your digital transformation strategy. Here's what stood out to me: Choosing the right tech stack? Critical. But it's not a strategy. Building a strong data foundation? Non-negotiable. But again, it's not a strategy. Strategy is knowing exactly what problem you are looking to solve in your business through digital transformation. And then see if AI is even ready to solve that problem today, or it's better to take a step back and wait for the AI wave to settle or mature before handling your problem through AI. With AI capabilities growing at a pace none of us fully predicted, the real differentiator isn't the tool; it's the clarity. What's your north star? What outcomes are you actually chasing? Define that first, then figure out how AI gets you there. That's how you calculate real ROI on Data, AI and automation. Not by how much you spent, but by how much you moved the needle. Simple idea. Surprisingly hard to execute! And that's exactly what made these conversations so valuable. Now, the best part of any event like this isn't the sessions, it's the people. I had the privilege of meeting some truly incredible leaders from across the globe, and I want to give a special shoutout to a few who made this experience memorable: 🙌 Praful, Igor, Raphaël, Charlie, Ashish, Satish, Puneet, and everyone whom I met directly or indirectly at the event, and had a chance to discuss and celebrate AI, Data, coffee, beer, and jokes. :) Your insights, your energy, and your willingness to share openly, that's what turned this conference into a great success. I headed back with a notebook full of ideas, a phone full of new connections, and a stronger conviction that we're just getting started. Until next time, thank you to everyone who made TechEx North America 2026 a phenomenal experience for me. Let's keep the conversation going. 🚀 P.S. Yes, I made the mandatory stop at the Golden Gate Bridge. And yes, I can confirm it is every bit as beautiful in person as it looks in the pictures! 🌉 ~#KK ✨ #TechExNorthAmerica #TechEx2026 #Netlink #Lumenore #DigitalTransformation #DataAndAIExpo #AIStrategy #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessTransformation #Innovation #TechCommunity #TheDataThing #TheAIMLThing

Had a great time speaking at TechEx North America 2026, San Jose on the panel "Innovation at Scale: Gen AI, Cloud Platforms, and Data-Driven Development." Unsurprisingly, most of the questions were around "AI & Data". I also had the opportunity to attend the IBM VIP Lunch with Sunil Murthy, where I learned more about IBM Watsonx Orchestrate (Bob) and how organizations are using AI agents. It was great hearing from my fellow panelist Ashay Satav Sundeep Jain, PMP Manmeet Dhillon Prakul Sharma Nishant Satya Lakshmikanth For me, there are 3 key take ways: 1. AI Adoption is Accelerating: AI is rapidly moving from pilot projects to enterprise-wide adoption. 2. Data, Security and Governance Matter: Strong data foundations, Cybersecurity and governance are critical for successful AI initiatives. 3. Focus on Business Value: The most successful organizations are focusing on practical business value, not just technology. Thank you TechEx Events AI & Big Data Expo.
