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 $3B+ 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.

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.

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.
