Sebastian Alvarez, CTO of Remotely, The New Framework for AI Software Development

Every engineering leader is being asked the same question right now: if AI writes the code, why do we still need the team? The answer nobody wants to hear is that code was never the bottleneck. Writing more of it, faster, just means shipping more software nobody asked for. Sebastian Alvarez co-found...

John Healy, How Putting AI in the Hands of End Users Is Rewriting the World of Work

Every enterprise transformation starts the same way. Leadership tasks HR with fixing how work gets done. Then procurement. Then a consultancy. Nothing moves. The people who actually do the work are the last ones in the room, and usually they are not in it at all. John Healy ran the experiment in rev...

Lee Cage Jr., Director of Enterprise Transformation, How HR Can Drive the Business Forward

Most CEOs have the same private complaint about HR: it shows up with workshops when the business asked for revenue. The function that owns the single largest line item on the P&L is still, in a lot of rooms, treated as overhead. That gap is not an HR problem. It is a translation problem. Lee Cage Jr...

Matt Watson, Founder & CEO at Full Scale, How to Build Long-Term Global Software Teams

Almost everyone who tries offshore software development has a horror story. Matt Watson heard those stories for years before he built a 300-person engineering firm that works, and his conclusion was that the failures had nothing to do with talent, cost, or time zones. They came from a structural cho...

Quentin Cloarec, Co-founder & CEO at Trees Engineering, on Why the Future of Talent Doesn't Need Staffing Firms

Every service industry is about to be rebuilt on top of AI, and staffing is first in line. The traditional agency model was built on recruiters reading resumes and playing a numbers game. That entire premise is now optional, and the incumbents have the most to lose by admitting it. Quentin Cloarec h...

Brett Riley, Founder at ITARMI, How 4,000 Engineers ON ITARMI Are Rewiring the World's Data Centers

The world runs on infrastructure most people never see. Fiber optic cables, GPU racks, network switches, data centers the size of eight football fields.

Joaquin Titievsky, CEO at Talentum, Why AI Recruiters Are Making HR Firms 50% Faster

What happens when AI stops optimizing the recruiting process and starts replacing the parts that never needed a human in the first place? That's the question Joaquin Titievsky answered by building Talentum, an AI recruiting platform born from running an 80-client talent agency in Latin America and r...

Rich Wilson & Davie Gow, The 40-40-20 Workforce: From Theory to Reality at Arnold Clark

The 80-20 workforce model is dead. Rich Wilson, CEO of Gigged.AI, says we're headed for 40-40-20: 40% full-time, 40% contingent, 20% AI agents. And Davie Gow, CTO at Arnold Clark, is actually building it inside one of the UK's largest family-run businesses. Gigged.AI built a blended workforce platfo...

Jack Spencer, Founder at Freeflexer, What It Takes to Realize the Flexible-First Future of Work

The flexible-first future of work is not a theory. It is already here. But the infrastructure to support it is not. Regulation is tightening across every major European market. Buyers are still trapped in three-month vendor analysis cycles. And the word "contingent" continues to undersell what is fu...
