Podcast — coming soon

The Agentic Executive

A show for enterprise leaders who are past the hype and navigating the operational reality of AI at scale. No vendor pitches. No use-case demos. Just the strategic decisions that matter.

Launching Q3 2026

Format

How the show works

Bi-weekly episodes, 30–40 minutes. A mix of solo essays — the same thinking behind the writing on this site, spoken — and structured interviews with practitioners who are doing the work, not advising on it. The first season focuses on the European AI ecosystem; subsequent seasons will broaden to global guests.

Coming up

Topics in the pipeline

  • The Build-vs-Buy Calculus

    When does it make sense to fine-tune your own model, and when does it cost you 18 months you don't have?

  • Governing AI Without Slowing It Down

    How leading enterprises are setting up AI governance bodies that enable rather than block.

  • The Ops Gap

    Why most AI pilots fail in operations, not in the model — and the three decisions that close the gap.

  • AI Talent Is Not a Hiring Problem

    Why the scarcest resource is internal translators, not PhDs.
