Kristina Khorram, who served as Sean "Diddy" Combs' chief of staff, has been implicated in multiple lawsuits alleging her involvement in Combs' purported criminal activities, including sex trafficking and abuse. In these lawsuits, Khorram is accused of facilitating the procurement of sex workers for Combs and managing operations related to alleged illicit activities. One lawsuit notably compared her role to that of Ghislaine Maxwell in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal network, suggesting she played a pivotal part in the alleged misconduct.In response to these allegations, Khorram has categorically denied any involvement in or condonation of such activities. In a statement to Rolling Stone, she expressed profound distress over the accusations, stating: "I have never condoned or aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone. Nor have I ever drugged anyone." She further emphasized that the notion of her being implicated in such acts is "beyond upsetting, disturbing, and unthinkable," and expressed confidence that the allegations against her would be proven untrue.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy's chief of staff calls accusations against her "disturbing and unthinkable"

In this exciting episode of The Pure Report, we sit down with Ketan Shah, VP Products at Nutanix, and Cody Hosterman, Sr. Director, Product Management at Pure Storage, to celebrate the General Availability (GA) launch of our joint solution. Driven by recent market disruption and the need for virtualization optionality, this partnership is founded on a mutual culture of customer-centricity and innovation. Our guests discuss how their teams achieved this milestone in just over a year, highlighting tight engineering collaboration, allowing them to build an architecture that will serve customers now and into the future. Our conversation dives into the core technical capabilities, which are focused on simplicity and a "better" solution, not just an alternative. The joint platform integrates the Nutanix Cloud Platform with Pure Storage FlashArray via the low-latency NVMe/TCP protocol. This integration delivers a highly efficient, VM-centric experience, where provisioning, snapshots, and cloning are automatically managed through the familiar Nutanix Prism interface, abstracting away the complexity of traditional management. A key takeaway from the early access program was the overwhelming positive feedback on the solution's resilience and the surprisingly easy adoption of IP-based storage. Shah and Hosterman also detail the solution's comprehensive cyber resiliency features, combining Nutanix capabilities like Flow micro-segmentation and disaster recovery orchestration with Pure's data-at-rest encryption and SafeMode immutable snapshots to offer end-to-end resilience. For customers looking to transition, the Nutanix 'Move' tool is fully supported, providing a non-disruptive migration path. Looking ahead, our guests note that this is just the beginning, with an exciting roadmap planned to integrate more sophisticated array-level features, positioning the platform as a long-term investment for not only virtualization needs but also for future AI and cloud-native workloads.

Jennifer went from VC to founder and immediately broke every rule in the book. When she pivoted Scribe from an automation tool to a documentation platform, her investors told her she had just killed the company. She ignored them. Instead of polishing her product, she launched a "janky" offline MVP on Product Hunt to test for real market pull. Scribe is now used by 95% of the Fortune 500. In this episode, Jennifer reveals the brutal truth about ignoring "smart" money, why you should run PLG and Enterprise sales simultaneously from Day 1, and how to tell the difference between pushing a boulder up a hill and chasing one down it.Why You Should ListenWhy you sometimes need to ignore your investors to save your startup.The "Boulder Test": The definitive gut check for knowing if you have true Product-Market Fit.How to validate a massive opportunity with zero marketing budget.Why the conventional wisdom about choosing between PLG and Enterprise Sales is wrong.How to turn executive hiring interviews into free mentorship sessions.Keywordsstartup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, PLG strategies, MVP testing, enterprise sales, go to market strategy, early stage growth, finding pmf, founder stories00:00:00 Intro 00:02:21 1,200 Customer Interviews as a VC 00:22:07 How to Hire for Excellence 00:30:18 The Pivot from Automation to Documentation 00:39:17 Launching a "Janky" MVP on Product Hunt 00:49:09 The Boulder Test for Product-Market Fit 00:52:50 Doing PLG and Enterprise Sales Simultaneously 01:03:12 Ignoring Investors to Save the CompanySend me a message to let me know what you think!

Remember the Borg? Remember how absolutely terrifying they were? They kidnapped our beloved Jean-Luc and wiped out a huge chunk of Starfleet just a season or so back! But what if I told you these malevolent murder machines were just a pack of misunderstood kids? No, seriously! They may want to assimilate you and absorb everything distinctive and special about you, but that's what all the robots are doing these days, right Alexa? Meet 3 of 5, a Borg drone the Enterprise crew discover in a crash site. While Picard says ditch the bitch, Bev has other ideas and brings 3 aboard. Before you know it, she and Geordi are building bridges and tearing down fences getting to know the little guy. Soon they're calling him “Hugh” and trying to help him learn and grow. That's all nice and lovely except the Captain wants to arm Hugh with a deadly virus and send him back to the collective as a Doom's Day weapon. Picard and Guinan are bent on the complete destruction of the Borg, but will their plans be spoiled by a bad case of the Feelings? Will Picard learn to love the alien? Will Bev and Geordi let love rule? Will someone reprogram Hugh into a Roomba drone to keep the wall carpeting clean?

B2B enterprises are overwhelmed by complexity, and AI is finally promising the breakthrough they've been chasing for years. On this episode of TECHtonic, TSIA Executive Director Thomas Lah sits down with AptEdge CEO Kusal De Silva and co-founder Aakrit Prasad for a direct, no-nonsense look at how AI is transforming the most ignored and most mission-critical function in technology: enterprise support.This conversation doesn't live in the hype. It goes straight to the real last-mile problem every enterprise faces: AI only works when it understands your environment, your data, and your intent. Raw automation isn't enough. Context + action is what moves the needle. And when you get that right, AI isn't just assisting support teams, it's multiplying engineer productivity, collapsing resolution times, and turning support from a cost obligation into a strategic lever.You'll hear what's actually happening inside hyperscale product environments, why “data quality is no longer the excuse”, why deflection metrics are the wrong scoreboard, and how AI-driven pricing and services models are evolving faster than the industry is ready for.If you're a support leader, a product exec, or anyone trying to stay ahead in the AI era, this episode gives you the language, the insights, and the urgency you need to stay relevant, and stay in the race.
Beijing's Economic Desperation: The Triangular Debt Crisis — Andrew Collier — Collier interprets Beijing'spublic calls for state-owned enterprise and private sector cooperation as unmistakable indicators of governmental financial desperation, as the Chinese state systematically fails to compensate private suppliers and contractors. Collier documents that China is experiencing a debt crisis structurally analogous to the "triangular debt" phenomenon of the 1990s, wherein private firms accumulate mounting insolvency as Chinese banking institutions systematically privilege lending to state-backed entities over private sector enterprises, constraining private sector growth essential for technological advancement. 1959

On this episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Editor in Chief Matt Vincent sits down with Rob Campbell, President of Flex Communications, Enterprise & Cloud, and Chris Butler, President of Flex Power, to unpack Flex's bold new integrated data center platform as unveiled at the 2025 OCP Global Summit. Flex says the AI era has broken traditional data center models, pushing power, cooling, and compute to the point where they can no longer be engineered separately. Their answer is a globally manufactured, pre-engineered platform that unifies these components into modular pods and skids, designed to cut deployment timelines by up to 30 percent and support gigawatt-scale AI campuses. Rob and Chris explain how Flex is blending JetCool's chip-level liquid cooling with scalable rack-level CDUs; how higher-voltage DC architectures (400V today, 800V next) will reshape power delivery; and why Flex's 110-site global manufacturing footprint gives it a unique advantage in speed and resilience. They also explore Flex's lifecycle intelligence strategy, the company's circular-economy approach to modular design, and their view of the “data center of 2030”—a landscape defined by converged power and IT, liquid cooling as default, and modular units capable of being deployed in 30–60 days. It's a deep look at how one of the world's largest manufacturers plans to redefine AI-scale infrastructure.
This week on DisrupTV, Salesforce SVP Marty Kihn and How to Be Bold author Ranjay Gulati join us to explore the rise of AI agents and the courage leaders need to navigate rapid change. Marty breaks down Salesforce's new Agent Force platform—how enterprises can create and deploy AI agents safely, the importance of grounding and governance, and why the agentic enterprise will shape the next decade of work. Ranjay then shares research-backed insights on courage, fear, purpose, and how leaders can build organizations that act boldly in the face of uncertainty. A powerful conversation at the intersection of AI and human leadership.
This week, The Trek Files returns to one of our most personal corners of Trek history. Reinelda Estupinian,known lovingly as Reina, joins us again to share rare family photos and her firsthand memories of life inside the Roddenberry household. Hired in 1974 as a nanny for six-month-old Rod Roddenberry, Reina became a trusted part of the family for over three decades, eventually working closely with Majel Barrett Roddenberry at Lincoln Enterprises. Reina shares candid and touching stories of those years: traveling with the family, managing Majel's whirlwind convention life, and offering emotional support through Gene's declining health and Majel's final days. With affection and a few sitcom-worthy anecdotes, she paints a vivid picture of the private lives behind Star Trek's public legacy.
Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com The good news is that federal security measures are preventing successful attacks; the bad news is that adversaries are examining every nook and cranny of a federal system and increasingly targeting the browser itself as an attack vector. During the interview, Scott "Monty" Montgomery gives a quick overview of Enterprise Browsers and Secure Enterprise Browsers. After all, browsers have been around since 1994. It may be the only application ubiquitous on home-based machines and in enterprise systems. They were not designed for security; they were intended to open the internet to the World Wide Web, full of images, links, and audio. Malicious actors did not have to focus on an app with limited use; by targeting a browser, they have almost unlimited targets to attack. Montgomery mentions the increase in browser-based attacks. In fact, they increased by 198% in the second half of 2023. Scott explains that phishing persists because people are curious or fearful, leading them to click on malicious links. A Secure Enterprise Browser can help prevent many common phishing exploits. Additionally, an SEB can support policies and controls. This means that an SEB fits completely with any current Zero Trust initiatives across all agencies. Beyond that, SEBs can be configured to manage legacy systems and even operate in low-bandwidth environments.

Russ Fradin sold his first company for $300M. He's back in the arena with Larridin, helping companies measure just how successful their AI actually is.In this episode, Russ sits down with a16z General Partner Alex Rampell to reveal why the measurement infrastructure that unlocked internet advertising's trillion-dollar boom is exactly what's missing from AI, why your most productive employees are hiding their AI usage from management, and the uncomfortable truth that companies desperately buying AI tools have no idea whether anyone's actually using them. The same playbook that built comScore into a billion-dollar measurement empire now determines which AI companies survive the coming shakeout.Timecodes: 0:00 — Introduction 2:15 — Early Career, Ad Tech, and Web 1.03:09 — Attribution Problems in Ad Tech & AI4:30 — Building Measurement Infrastructure6:49 — Software Eating Labor: Productivity Shifts8:51 — The Challenge of Measuring AI ROI14:54 — The Productivity Baseline Problem18:46 — Defining and Measuring Productivity21:27 — Goodhart's Law & the Pitfalls of Metrics22:41 — The Harvey Example: Usage vs. Value25:18 — Surveys vs. Behavioral Data28:38 — Interdepartmental Responsiveness & Real-World Metrics31:00 — Enterprise AI Adoption: What the Data Shows33:59 — Employee Anxiety & Training Gaps38:31 — The Nexus Product & Safe AI Usage42:08 — The Future of Work: Job Loss or Job Creation?44:40 — The Competitive Advantage of AI53:45 — The Product Marketing Problem in AI55:00 — The Importance of Specific Use CasesResources:Follow Russ Fradin on X: https://x.com/rfradinFollow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampell Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke on how the government intends to approach tourism amid decreasing spend from foreign visitors.
In this episode of Sales Is King, host Dan Sixsmith sits down with Jon Addison, Chief Revenue Officer at Okta, to unpack how identity is becoming mission-critical in a world of AI agents, distributed work, and rising security expectations. Jon shares how Okta is evolving from product to platform, why identity is central to securing AI, and what it really takes to lead large, global go-to-market organizations today. The conversation ranges from AI ROI and agent security to sales leadership, relationship selling in a post‑pandemic world, and Jon's unconventional path from door‑to‑door sales and technical roles into the CRO seat.Key TopicsOkta's mission and why identity sits at the center of security and AI. The early, messy phase of AI and agents and why standardization and consolidation are coming. How Okta thinks about securing AI agents for 20,000+ customers through policy, platform, and design. Moving from “product company” to “platform company” and what that means for GTM, partners, and customers. Jon's view of the CRO role: being a change agent, driving parallel transformations, and balancing data with instinct. The “Formula to Win” (Focus, Compete, Lead) and the decision to specialize across Okta and Auth0 buying personas. Why enterprise selling is going “back to relationships” in an era of hyper‑informed, AI‑enabled buyers. Skill vs. art in sales: practice, rehearsal, and the X‑factor of human connection and courage. Methodologies, MEDDIC, and how frameworks and creativity can and should coexist. Jon's career path: door‑to‑door sales, technical consulting, product management, Oracle, LinkedIn, and now Okta. How to think about talent, instincts, and building high‑performing, international sales teams. Jon's definition of success: growth, unlocking potential in reps, and meaningful customer outcomes. HighlightsAI and agent deployments are still in early, fragmented stages, and most enterprises are experimenting without yet seeing consistent ROI—creating a big opening for vendors who can standardize and secure these environments. Okta sees AI agents much like cloud apps in the early days: scattered pilots that will eventually need centralized identity, policy, and governance—an area where its platforms are already embedded. The CRO role is fundamentally about being an empowered change agent: driving multiple transformation streams at once, building trust across functions, and having the courage to move fast without creating “one‑way doors.” Specialization across platforms (Okta vs. Auth0) and buying personas is unlocking deeper expertise, better customer conversations, and sharper competitive positioning. Enterprise sellers will increasingly face highly educated buyers who have already self‑researched with AI, which shifts the seller's value from information transfer to relationship, insight, orchestration, and outcome design. World‑class sellers treat sales like a craft: they rehearse, review call recordings, seek coaching, and study both customers and industries the way elite athletes study film.
