Podcasts about CTO

In this episode of our podcast, we dive into Chapter Four of "Leaders Transform," focusing on the crucial theme of empowering and delegating to orchestrate high-performing teams. We explore the idea that true leadership is not about doing more ourselves but about empowering others to take the lead. I share insights on how effective delegation can transform your role from a controller to a catalyst, using a practical five-step delegation framework. This framework emphasizes the importance of clarity, autonomy, and support, allowing team members to thrive and innovate. We discuss the significant benefits of empowerment, including increased engagement, creativity, and resilience within teams. Through real-life examples, such as a case study involving a CTO in a tech firm, we illustrate how trust in delegation can lead to remarkable productivity increases and more time for strategic innovation. I also highlight the dangers of micromanagement, which stifles growth and creativity, and contrast it with the empowering culture that effective delegation fosters. We delve into the virtuous cycle of trust in delegation, emphasizing the need for leaders to resist the urge to micromanage and instead embrace healthy struggles and open communication. Additionally, I provide practical tools and activities, such as a delegation map and development plans, to help leaders redistribute responsibilities and foster growth within their teams. As we wrap up, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own delegation practices and consider how they can cultivate a culture of empowerment. Remember, leadership is about equipping others to lead and thrive, setting the stage for motivation and engagement in the next chapter.

Hey everyone, welcome to today's episode of Developer Tea. This is the second part of my interview with Bryan McCann, the CTO at you.com. If you haven't listened to Part One, I'd encourage you to go back, as it provides crucial context for our continued discussion. In this episode, we dive into how you can think about relating to and integrating the massive changes that AI is bringing to your job, whether you are a software engineer, manager, director, or product professional. Bryan and I discuss his interests beyond research, including art and organizational design.Explore the two primary paths for developers in the long run: specializing as managers of AI tools (like a product manager with engineering insight) or striving to be better than AI at building better versions of AI itself (the "neurosurgeon" type).Understand why refining your intuitions about what should be built becomes increasingly crucial as automation makes execution easier.Examine how conceptual biases often become the bottleneck when interacting with powerful AI tools, such as focusing on very narrow tasks for a broad tool.Learn how to approach AI failures: treat a failed output as an opportunity to dig in and figure out why, perhaps by asking the AI to write a better prompt or identifying a fundamental missing capability that could become a great startup idea.Conceptualize AI as the earliest versions of magic, where the manipulation of symbols (like embeddings) allows us to extend our influence into the world in a flexible and powerful way.Discover principles of organizational design by studying how neural networks learn, focusing on strong information flow, skip connections, and aligning with the objective.Consider the idea that the next phase of human development might involve emulating AI's learning mechanisms (rather than expecting AI to become more human-like) to unlock the next phase of humanity and continue our search for meaning.Hear Bryan's final piece of advice for listeners: focus on learning and working on things you are passionate about that will have the highest possible impact.

Andy Sitison, CTO of Share More Stories, is pioneering a movement to infuse empathy and authenticity into the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and business technology. In his featured podcast appearance, Andy shares how he harnesses advanced AI tools not simply for data crunching, but to genuinely listen to and amplify the voices of real people within communities and organizations. Through his innovative approach—combining large language models, emotive scoring, and advanced storytelling analytics—Andy demonstrates that fostering genuine human connection can unlock profound business insights, drive positive change, and strengthen community trust. Moreover, Andy spotlights an urgent need for ethical considerations at the intersection of tech and society. He underscores that as our reliance on data centers and automation grows, so does our collective responsibility to weigh the environmental impacts and ensure human agency remains central. Rather than allowing technology and profit motives to define our future, Andy urges leaders to consciously elevate both human wellbeing and planetary health throughout organizational decision-making. He stresses that empathetic AI—created with ethical foresight—can become a force for good, provided we make these values core to our strategies from the outset. As we stand at this pivotal moment of technological transformation, Andy's message is clear: Humans matter, and the Earth matters. We can no longer afford for these priorities to be afterthoughts in our race for innovation.

O Start Eldorado desta semana discute o avanço da inteligência artificial nas empresas com base no novo estudo global da Cisco (Índice Anual de Preparação para IA (Cisco AI Readiness Index), que chega a sua terceira edição. O apresentador Daniel Gonzales recebe Renier Souza, CTO da Cisco Brasil, para uma conversa sobre os dados e previsões do estudo, que é bastante extenso e foi feito com mais de 8 mil líderes em 30 países. O levantamento mostra que combinação de visão de futuro e bases sólidas está gerando resultados reais em torno do emprego de IA em diferentes segmentos. Tudo isso em um momento em que duas grandes forças começam a remodelar o cenário nos negócios: os agentes de IA que executam tarefas de forma autônoma e independente, superando a era dos chatbots; e a chamada dívida de infraestrutura de IA, que representa sinais de alerta precoce de gargalos ocultos capazes de comprometer o valor de longo prazo para as corporações. No Brasl, 92% das empresas brasileiras planejam implementar agentes de IA e 52% delas esperam que essa tecnologia trabalhe ao lado dos seus colaboradores dentro de um ano.

 Hey everyone. I've gotten so much interesting feedback on last week's Halloween episode featuring the anonymous CTO saying spooky things about AI and coding agents that I thought I'd share a quick solo voice memo style episode with you. The feedback ranges from people saying he's spot on about the insidious problems that AI coding agents create while others saying "he's holding it wrong." In other words, he's not using AI properly. Listen to this short episode and you'll also hear reaction to his claim that "adversarial AI" is not really a thing and why context and data are so critical. And please please please: take five minutes and complete our annual survey. I have big plans for the show and some new things I'm working on. So I really want to hear from you. And for one lucky survey taker, I will make a $100 donation to the charity of your choice. Here's the survey. Again: it takes just five minutes and these surveys are actually really important to podcasters and sponsors. Thanks so much!And go to crafted.fm to get the newsletter and see all past episodes, including the Halloween Special with the Anonymous CTO on Spooky AI Things (listen to this first before listening to today's episode)

The end of October was punctuated with a series of major cloud outages, first at AWS and then at Microsoft, bringing a wide range of websites and business applications offline.In the previous episode, we spoke about this in a reactive sense – the immediate customers impacted and the likely causes.But it's also important to break the problem down at a strategic and technical level. Just how do outages at this scale occur – and what's it like as an insider, fighting to bring services back online?In this episode Rory speaks to James Kretchmar, SVP & CTO of the cloud technology division at Akamai Technologies, to get an insider's perspective on cloud outages and how businesses can navigate these incidents.Read more:Amazon Web Services outage live: Hundreds of apps including Slack, mobile carriers, banking services downThe AWS outage brought much of the web to its knees: Here's how it happened, who it affected, and how much it might costThe Microsoft Azure outage explained: What happened, who was impacted, and what can we learn from it?Australia internet banking outage blamed on DDoS mitigation serviceWhy the CrowdStrike outage was a wakeup call for developer teams

Mark Williamson, CTO of Undo, joins host Priyanka Raghavan to discuss AI-assisted debugging. The conversation is structured around three main objectives: understanding how AI can serve as a debugging assistant;  examining AI-powered debugging tools; exploring whether AI debuggers can independently find and fix bugs. Mark highlights how AI can support debugging with its ability to analyze vast amounts of data, narrow down issues, and even generate tests. From there, the discussion turns to AI debugging tools, with a particular look at ChatDBG's strengths and limitations, with a peek at time travel debugging. In the final segment, they consider several real-world scenarios and evaluate the feasibility and practicality of AI acting autonomously in debugging.

In this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Jasmeet Sawhney to explore what it means to lead marketing in an AI-driven world. Jasmeet shares his unconventional journey from engineer to marketing executive, emphasizing how technical fluency and creativity are now inseparable in leadership roles.They dive deep into the evolving responsibilities of marketing leaders, how AI is reshaping strategy, execution, and team structures, and why the biggest risk is failing to evolve. From scaling personalization to rethinking attribution and ROI, Jasmeet offers a candid and forward-looking perspective on how leaders can guide their teams through this transformation.This episode is a must-listen for marketing, sales, and business leaders navigating the AI revolution and seeking actionable insights for long-term success.Key TakeawaysAI is no longer optional: AI is no longer a buzzword, it's a business necessity. Marketing leaders must integrate it across every function, from data analytics to customer engagement.Leadership must get technical: Future marketing leaders can't avoid data or tech. Understanding AI, automation, and analytics is critical for setting effective goals and strategies.Don't just hire AI experts, build internal fluency: Instead of creating isolated “AI teams,” leaders should train and empower existing staff to integrate AI into daily workflows.Personalization at scale is the new standard: AI enables hyper-personalization down to the stakeholder level, not just the account level. This is where real competitive advantage lies.Measure what matters: AI offers new opportunities to track touchpoints across the customer journey, finally making ROI and attribution measurable with greater accuracy.Change requires courage: Creativity, experimentation, and risk-taking are essential to unlocking AI's potential, leaders must champion innovation even when outcomes are uncertain.Quotes“This is the biggest opportunity of our generation.

In this episode of The Data Chief, Ilan Twig, co-founder and CTO of Navan, shares why large language models will revolutionize our relationship with technology—just like the mouse did for the keyboard. From pushing AI to its limits to launching Navan Cognition, built for zero critical hallucination, Ilan reveals what it really takes to lead through change and build AI that people can trust. He also dives into a critical question every company must face: Will you build AI from scratch, or build with AI partners?? And if you're curious about the next frontier, Ilan paints a bold vision of agent-to-agent communication—where AI services talk to each other and your admin work disappears into the background.  A must-listen for anyone building the future of AI-powered user experiences.Key Moments:Agent-to-Agent Communication (A2A) (17:00): Ilan envisions a future where dedicated AI services communicate with each other in natural language, without the need for an API. This "mother of all bots" would manage administrative tasks by talking to other bots, simplifying complex tasks for the user.AI as a "Human" Experience (27:16): Ilan was surprised by the release of ChatGPT in 2022 because it was the first time a technology felt human. This led him to spend four months building and testing the technology's boundaries, including its ability to lie or be "jailbroken" with creative prompts.Identifying the Core Business (31:43): Ilan advises companies to decide if they want to become an "AI company" or simply use AI. He explains that building a core AI platform requires a huge commitment.A Case Study in Building (35:32): The conversation furthers, as a light is shed on the building of “Navan Cognition”, because no solution existed at the time to prevent critical hallucinations in AI models. This system includes a supervisor agent that works to catch and correct undesirable responses, creating a "zero critical hallucination" experience for its users.Key Quotes:"LLMs would do to the mouse what the mouse did to the keyboard when it comes to how humans interact with computers."  - Ilan Twig“My role is to always apply the best technology in order to drive, to create the best product and best experience. That's my role. And it is not technology for the sake of technology. It is technology for the sake of creating value for the users." - Ilan Twig“We ended up using ThoughtSpot. We also applied the generative AI capabilities that you guys have built into your product. That's build versus buy. That's the benefit of buy.”  - Ilan TwigMentionsNavan Introduces World's Smartest T&E Personal AssistantNavan CognitionAI jailbreak method tricks LLMs into poisoning their own contextSurely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)  - Richard P.

Hey everyone and welcome to today's episode of Developer Tea. It's been quite a while since I've had a guest on the show. Today, I'm joined by Bryan McCann, CTO at you.com. We dive into a wide-ranging discussion, exploring the philosophical origins of his career—from studying meaning and language to working in very early AI research. This discussion is less advice-heavy and more focused on kind of theory and discussion. I hope this is insightful for you and helpful as you crystallize your own philosophies on these subjects.Explore the philosophical journey that led Bryan McCann from being a philosophy major interested in meaning to pioneering early AI research. Bryan views his current work as an extension of those original philosophical questions.Discover how Bryan shifted from hitting a dead end in "armchair philosophy" to using computational tools to study language and try to make machines that could create meaning.Understand why Bryan believes that meaning, in the sense he originally sought it, is an innately human thing, tied to purpose and the narratives we use to shape our sense of reality.Discuss the profound realization that AI breakthroughs might be akin to discovering electricity, suggesting we are tapping into a fundamental framework of meaning or connection that has always existed.Examine the concept of super intelligence and the "flywheel effect," where AI accelerates research and development, building better versions of itself and potentially surpassing the classic anthropomorphic vision of machine intelligence.Explore Bryan's other interests, including organizations, people, and art, which he sees as continuing the uniquely human search for meaning.Consider the idea that humanity's constant need to differentiate itself from machines may simply be a mechanism for survival, enabling our continued dominance.

Most teams, people and companies don't have a motivation problem - they have a design problem.In this episode I sit down with Ricardo Lopes Costa, founder and CTO of Funifier from Brazil and the author of "The Fantastic Engagement Factory: how to motivate people on a large scale with gamification". We uncover how gamification, psychology, and smart feedback loops can turn apathetic workflows into performance engines people actually want to use. Ricardo's company, Funifier, has worked with global brands like Coca-Cola, HP, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica Federal, helping them turn dry KPIs into dynamic challenges that spark human motivation — often with billion-dollar impact. Ricardo shares how:A small experiment with locked online lessons accidentally sparked his obsession with engagement.A single leaderboard turned learning into a movement across Brazil.Caixa's “Tamo Junto 9Bi+” initiative became the world's largest gamification case — driving over $1 billion USD in additional profit in just months.Recognition and belonging often outperform money when it comes to performance.Even small businesses — from cupcake stands to ice-cream shops — can gamify experiences to make people participate more.Why the future of leadership lies in designing human experiences, not just managing numbers.“Engagement is not a bonus — it's an asset, just like money or technology.” — Ricardo Lopes CostaIf you're a leader, HR professional, or entrepreneur who wants to build teams that care, perform, and grow — this episode will show you how to make motivation measurable.Key TakeawaysMotivation is designable — when you treat engagement like a system, not a feeling.Recognition > rewards: appreciation drives sustained effort more than money.Start small: pick one unmotivated area, personalize it, make it visible, make it fun.Emotional design is the missing layer in most transformation and culture projects.Everyone — even small businesses — can use gamification principles to spark engagement.

By Adam Turteltaub Uh oh.  The Feds are in the front lobby with a search warrant.  Things are bad, and you don't want anyone on site to make it worse. The secret is preparation, shares Veronica Xu, SCCE & HCCA Board Member and Chief Compliance Officer, HIPAA Privacy Officer, ADA Administrator at Saber Healthcare Group.  That begins with establishing a cross-functional team that likely includes compliance, the general counsel, CEO, CTO and, depending on your industry, the chief medical officer and others. Each should play a part in shaping the plan and be ready to play their part if a raid occurs. In addition, onsite staff, right down to the receptionist, needs to understand their responsibilities, including whom to call for help.  Not only will that avoid very costly mistakes, it will help reduce errors, fear and stress at what will likely be an extremely difficult time. What an individual gets trained on will vary by role.  Yet, there is one commonality to the training.  Everyone needs to know the importance of staying calm, being polite and respectful. Be sure to also outline the do's and don'ts. There's one other thing she strongly advises: remember to communicate with your workforce.  Be as transparent as possible and avoid conflicting messages.  That will keep the lines of communication open and help avoid the speculation that can make the disruption even worse. Listen in to learn more, and then take a fresh look at your current plans for responding to a government raid.

I wrote recently about a bad first day for an intern. He/she was fired, without cause in my opinion, when a production database was damaged while following a document for developer setup. The situation felt like a mistake, and one that wasn't necessarily the fault of the individual. To me, this was extremely poor handling of the situation from a CTO. In the discussion for the piece, someone pointed out that it might not just be a new employee who makes a mistake that causes downtime. Certainly, an inexperienced employee could have caused the issue, but I know there are plenty people with lots of time in a position who make similar mistakes. It could be that one who has been there a long time followed a poorly documented procedure for the first time, or applied the procedure to the wrong situation. Often, I find these are relatively simple mistakes because someone isn't as familiar with a protocol or skill as another person assumed they were.
