A CMO Confidential Interview with Abhay Parasnis, Founder & CEO of Typeface, Board Member of Dropbox and Schneider Electronic, formerly EVP of Adobe. Abhay discusses the large gap between AI expectations and execution, the human and cultural issues in the way of adoption, and the C-Suite's responsibility to "guide the change" versus demand and monitor progress. Key topics include: recognizing and managing the 3 types of resistance; why specific targeted use cases are the best way to begin; the difference between Moore's Law and Amara's Law; and how to determine if you are a resistor or a pragmatic business leader. Tune in to hear an analogy of why AI is similar to Formula One where everyone has a powerful vehicle and winning is driven by how teams master and manage that power. AI is the biggest shift of our careers—but most companies are stuck at the “cool demo” stage. In this episode, former Adobe CTO/CPO and Typeface founder/CEO Abhay Parasnis joins Mike Linton to unpack the AI cold start problem: how to move from experiments to enterprise impact. We cover where the C-suite is pushing, why practitioners are hesitating, and how to design lighthouse wins that change the org—not just the deck.Abhay shares hard numbers (a 93% lift from email personalization in 120 days), why “watermelon metrics” derail programs, and the new reality that as agents/bots consume more content, your brand narrative must be built for machines and humans. We dig into the accountability shift from agencies to in-house teams, how to evaluate vendors without boiling the ocean, and the culture moves leaders need to close the gap between ambition and adoption.What you'll learnA practical AI playbook: pick one revenue-adjacent use case, rewire the process, measure before/after, then scaleHow to align the board, C-suite, and operators to avoid “innovation theater”Where AI drives top-line growth vs. simple cost takeout—and how to prove itSpotting resistance (job loss fears, “new thing” fatigue, agency incentives) and converting it into momentumThe right vendor questions (and red flags) to separate sizzle from outcomesWhy authenticity, governance, and legal guardrails must ship with your AI stackAbout AbhayFounder & CEO of Typeface (AI-powered personalized marketing).

C'est une consécration rare dans le monde feutré de la cybersécurité : la société française YesWeHack vient d'obtenir le statut d'autorité de numérotation CVE, autrement dit l'un des sésames les plus prestigieux du secteur. Elle devient ainsi la huitième entreprise française habilitée à attribuer ces identifiants universels de vulnérabilités, les fameux CVE — Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.Derrière cet acronyme un peu technique se cache une mission essentielle : recenser et standardiser les failles de sécurité découvertes à travers le monde. Ces identifiants CVE servent de référence commune à toute l'industrie — des éditeurs de logiciels aux gouvernements — pour coordonner la réponse face aux menaces. Sans eux, impossible de suivre efficacement les vulnérabilités, ni d'en mesurer l'impact global.Jusqu'à présent, seules quelques grandes entreprises françaises avaient ce privilège : Thales, Schneider Electric, Dassault Systèmes, IDEMIA, Centreon, ARC Informatique et WPScan. Désormais, YesWeHack rejoint ce club très restreint, aux côtés des géants du secteur. Une reconnaissance saluée par Guillaume Vassault-Houlière, cofondateur et PDG de la société : « Ce statut reflète notre expertise et nos processus éprouvés dans la gestion des vulnérabilités. Il va nous permettre d'accélérer la coordination entre chercheurs, entreprises et équipes de sécurité ». Pour cette plateforme française, fondée il y a dix ans, la distinction sonne comme une suite logique. YesWeHack s'est imposée comme un acteur majeur du bug bounty, cette pratique qui consiste à rémunérer les hackers éthiques pour détecter les failles avant les cybercriminels. Grâce à ce nouveau statut, les vulnérabilités découvertes sur sa plateforme pourront désormais recevoir un identifiant CVE directement, sans passer par une autorité tierce — un gain de temps précieux pour les entreprises concernées.Basée sur une infrastructure européenne conforme au RGPD, YesWeHack renforce ainsi son rôle de pilier de la cybersécurité européenne. Une réussite symbolique, à l'heure où la souveraineté numérique et la sécurité des infrastructures deviennent des enjeux stratégiques pour tout le continent. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of the Earley AI Podcast, host Seth Earley welcomes Eric Rehl, Vice President of Digital Customer Experience in North America at Schneider Electric. With over 25 years of expertise in digital strategy and customer experience, Eric has guided global organizations through complex digital transformations, always keeping business outcomes and customer needs at the core. Drawing on his deep industry knowledge, Eric shares how large enterprises can move beyond buzzwords like “digital transformation” and “AI,” instead choosing a pragmatic, data-driven approach to drive real business value.Join Seth and Eric as they discuss the evolving role of digital capabilities in business strategy, the foundational importance of high-quality data, the unique challenges faced by B2B organizations, and how AI can power truly personalized customer experiences—from the ground up.Key Takeaways:Digital transformation should be rooted in business outcomes, not technology hype; focus on the “so what” for your customer and organization.Strong, clean, accessible data is critical for scaling digital experiences and enabling AI-driven personalization—without it, even the best tools will fail.B2B companies often lag in digital maturity due to legacy data architectures and complex customer relationships, but can catch up by investing strategically in foundational capabilities.A robust digital journey relies on operationalizing and continually improving product and customer data, rather than one-off fixes.Maturity in B2B digital experiences evolves from simply “doing no harm,” to enabling ease of business, and ultimately leveraging digital platforms for growth and commercial impact.AI's promise lies in moving from segmented personalization to real-time, dynamic customer engagement powered by integrated data and knowledge.Preparing for AI-driven customer discovery means syndicating high-quality, semantically-structured content across channels—both on and off your own domain.The next frontier is operationalizing knowledge (not just product or customer data) to fuel AI tools for differentiation and problem-solving.Continuous experimentation and responsible opportunism allow organizations to discover new outcomes and business value.Insightful Quotes:"I think as you start building maturity, you're learning how to orchestrate those pieces. You're getting more of that harmonization of organizing principles across those disparate departments, across knowledge and content and customer experience and product information. And so that becomes kind of the holistic journey that you're thinking about." - Seth Earley“We always start with the outcome. Like, why are we talking about capabilities here? Why are we talking about AI? What are we actually going to do with it to get to what the business outcome we're trying to drive or the experience outcome we're trying to drive?” - Eric RehlDon't miss this in-depth conversation packed with practical advice and forward-looking insights for anyone leading or navigating digital transformation initiatives in the AI era.LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrehl/Website: https://www.se.com/us/en/Thanks to our sponsors: VKTR Earley Information Science AI Powered Enterprise Book

Artificial intelligence is changing the data center industry faster than anyone anticipated. Every new wave of AI hardware pushes power, density, and cooling requirements to levels once thought impossible — and operators are scrambling to keep pace. In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Schneider Electric's Steven Carlini joins us to unpack what it really means to build infrastructure for the AI era. Carlini explains how the conversation around density has shifted in just a year: “Last year, everyone was talking about the one-megawatt rack. Now densities are approaching 1.5 megawatts. It's moving that fast, and the infrastructure has to keep up.” These rapid leaps in scale aren't just about racks and GPUs. They represent a fundamental change in how data centers are designed, cooled, and powered. The discussion dives into the new imperatives for AI-ready facilities: Power planning that anticipates explosive growth in compute demand. Liquid and hybrid cooling systems capable of handling extreme densities. Modularity and prefabrication to shorten build times and adapt to shifting hardware generations. Sustainability and responsible design that balance innovation with environmental impact. Carlini emphasizes that operators can't treat these as optional upgrades. Flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability are now prerequisites for competitiveness in the AI era. Looking beyond hardware, Carlini highlights the diversity of AI workloads — from generative models to autonomous agents — that will drive future requirements. Each class of workload comes with different power and latency demands, and data center operators will need to build adaptable platforms to accommodate them. At the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit last week, Carlini expanded further on these themes, offering insights into how the industry can harness AI “for good” — designing infrastructure that supports innovation while aligning with global sustainability goals. His message was clear: the choices operators make now will shape not just business outcomes, but the broader environmental and social impact of the AI revolution. This episode offers listeners a rare inside look at the technical, operational, and strategic forces shaping tomorrow's data centers. Whether it's retrofitting legacy facilities, deploying modular edge sites, or planning new greenfield campuses, the challenge is the same: prepare for a future where compute density and power requirements continue to skyrocket. If you want to understand how the world's digital infrastructure is evolving to meet the demands of AI, this conversation with Steven Carlini is essential listening.

Wildfires, hurricanes, cyberattacks—utilities are under siege from extreme events. But what if there were a better, calmer, and smarter way to handle them? In this episode of Power Perspectives, host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester are joined by Matt Schnugg, Chief Product Officer at Schneider Electric's Digital Grid business to talk about a transformative new framework called Holistic Event Management. It's an approach that moves beyond siloed solutions and reactive decision-making—toward unified, proactive digital platforms that support operators in both blue-sky and black-sky conditions. Drawing from his experience leading the rollout of Schneider Electric's One Digital Grid Platform, Matt shares how utilities can reduce the **c**ognitive burden on their teams during moments of chaos and build a response strategy that's not just reactive—but anticipatory. From wildfire preparation to grid restoration, we explore how digital transformation is becoming a lifeline for resilience. Listen in to learn how today's utility event management got so fragmented and reactive, and how culture, alignment, and digital integration are key to successfully addressing emergencies moving forward.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we take the show on the road to Singapore, where S&P Global Sustainable1 hosted its annual summit June 26. We sit down with leaders from the sustainable agriculture, banking and technology sectors to unpack key sustainability challenges and opportunities facing diverse Asia-Pacific markets. We discuss decarbonization technologies with Manish Pant, Executive Vice President of International Operations at Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric is a French multinational focused on electrification, automation and digitization that was just named the world's most sustainable company by TIME and data firm Statista.     Manish explains how the company is working with clients to decarbonize and electrify at scale in a way that also prioritizes energy access, security and affordability. He characterizes the current moment as "the golden period for the Global South.”    “The demographic momentum, the focus on renewables as well as a lot of infrastructure development is what characterizes this part of the world,” he says. “The challenge and the opportunity that we have is we are going to be building a lot.”    We also speak with Kavickumar Muruganathan, Microsoft's ESG Planning Director for Asia Pacific, Cloud Operations and Innovation, to understand how one of the world's largest technology companies is thinking about developing AI; its use cases for sustainability; and how the company is developing data centers in the region.     We sit down with Justin Ma, Executive Director of Sustainable Finance at Standard Chartered Bank, to talk about trends in sustainable finance and the continued momentum he sees in Asia-Pacific markets.     And we explore how the agriculture sector is balancing food security, access and affordability while also improving the sustainability of agricultural practices in an interview with Nikita Asthana. Nikita is Head of Sustainability Finance at global agriculture services firm Olam Agri, and she explains how agricultural practices can impact climate change and nature loss and the role smallholder farmers play in sustainable agriculture.     “Climate change is the biggest threat to food security,” Nikita says. “The realization has to happen at scale and not just by a few companies that are more directly impacted. It has to happen at the scale of governments and policymakers. It has to happen at the scale of financial institutions.”   Listen to our podcast episodes from the S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit in London earlier this year:   Why businesses are going ‘back to basics' in sustainability strategies  Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations  How HSBC is financing infrastructure for a low-carbon economy  Learn about energy transition data and services from S&P Global Commodity Insights here.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.       Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global   DISCLAIMER   By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

“Most things when it comes to corporate sustainability do not happen in a vacuum. I am part of an environmental sustainability team, but we would not be able to accomplish anything without our energy teams, our network teams, and more. The ability to take what can be a complex idea and translate that into a compelling business case often comes down to dollars and cents. While it takes time, that's how we've been able to drive change.” Rosie Austin on Electric Ladies Podcast  In a poll at The Earth Day Women's Summit in Dallas, Texas, 100% of respondents said that business is not doing enough to address the climate crisis. With climate change fuelling more frequent and ferocious weather events, and the current U.S. federal leadership defunding climate- and clean energy-related initiatives, businesses now have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to lead. Will they? The good news is, many of them are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their climate resilience. How? Listen to this live recording of a session at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with a panel moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson.   You'll hear how businesses are keeping the momentum going and stepping in where federal leadership has stepped back.  The panel includes: Danielle Azoulay, Founder, The CSO Shop and former head of CSR and Sustainability at L'Oreal and at Bed, Bath & Beyond, who shares insights into what consumers care about, and how this is shaping business decisions. Helle Bank Jørgensen, CEO and Founder of Competent Boards training programs, on the importance of boards in keeping businesses focused on the long term. Jana Gerber, President, Microgrid North America at Schneider Electric, on what companies are focusing on to meet their climate goals. Rosie Austin, Principal Program Manager - Global ESG Reporting at AT&T, on why resilience doesn't occur in a vacuum. Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast.  “If you look five years out, 10 years out, what is it that you want to look back at and say, Yes, I was part of this, or, or I did this. There's a ton of roles if you look at these 17 biggest pain points in the world (the 17 sustainable development goals). Where is it that I can make a difference? I want to educate myself in this, so I can go out and help organizations, perhaps even the organization that you are working in right now.” Helle Bank Jørgensen on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also like: Marci Jenks, Eco Material Technologies, on green cement innovations.
