Talks on enterprise AI, and why absorption, not capability, is the real bottleneck
I speak from the operator's seat: 15+ years building and scaling tech and AI businesses across Asia-Pacific, currently leading a multi-billion-dollar P&L and an enterprise AI transformation in payments. Not theory, what actually ships, stalls, and compounds when AI meets a real operating model.
What I speak about
The Enterprise AI Absorption Gap
Capability is on a predictable curve; enterprise absorption is not. Why most AI initiatives stall at deployment, and what an AI-native operating model actually looks like, from an operator who runs one, not a consultant.
Read the underlying perspective →AI-DLC: The Validation Crisis
The bottleneck in AI-augmented development is validation, not generation. Why teams that win build validation infrastructure, evals, observability, human-in-the-loop where it catches errors, instead of chasing bigger models.
Read the underlying perspective →Scaling Tech & AI in Asia-Pacific
Lessons from co-founding Lazada Singapore and operating across Japan, Singapore, and SEA for 15+ years, building and scaling product, operations, and payments in regulated, multi-market environments.
