Most enterprise AI speakers work in one space. Technical depth or executive accessibility, not both. Alec's value is in the room where both need to leave aligned. Ten years of building in public. A decade of enterprise deployments across Financial Services and TMT. The credibility to hold the CTO conversation and walk down the hall and hold the CFO and CEO conversation. Without losing the room in either direction.
The bridge most programs are missing. Deep technical fluency across knowledge graphs, AI agents, agentic workflows, intelligent systems built through a decade of enterprise deployments. Operator-level business judgement as a Forward Deployed Principal at BairesDev, originating and looking after enterprise AI engagements inside Fortune 1000 Financial Services and TMT clients. Both, in the same talk, in the same room. Conference organizers describe this combination as the gap they consistently struggle to fill. Sophisticated audiences notice it within the first five minutes.
AIWA is 15,000+ leaders. 60%+ are C-suite or report directly into it. 30%+ work for enterprise companies. 20%+ are based in NYC. Every engagement includes a full amplification cycle: promotion to the full AIWA community before the event, live social amplification during and integration into relevant micro essays, newsletters and podcasts afterwards. The stage appearance is the beginning of the content, not the end of it.
The AIWA podcast launched with the founding engineer of LangChain as Episode 01. Before LangChain became a household name in enterprise AI. Episode 14 featured the co-founder of Starcloud before data centers in outer space were taken seriously. Episode 05 featured the co-founder and PM of NotebookLM before it generated mainstream awareness. The same editorial judgement that produced those conversations is what produces talks that anticipate where the market is going rather than recapping where it has been.
Alec structures his 7-7-7 talks around a single overarching thesis, supported by three focused segments. Each approximately seven minutes that leave space for the questions that matter most to the room. The format earns attention from sophisticated audiences because it does not lecture. It creates a thought provoking conversation in response to a strong, operator-led POV.
What it actually means to build an AI-first organization and why most enterprises are optimizing for the wrong layer. For executive and mixed audiences.
The execution gap between AI strategy and production at scale is real and specific. Based on a decade of enterprise deployments across Financial Services and TMT with digital receipts to prove it. For technology and innovation conference audiences.
Why the competitive advantage in enterprise AI isn't the model, it's the organizational architecture built around it. The Learning Loop, Enterprise Intuition and the compounding asset that doesn't commoditize. For CIO, CTO and organizational transformation audiences.
A practitioner's view from inside enterprise AI deployments in FS and TMT. From data infrastructure to data platforms to ontology to knowledge graphs to AI agent architecture to the CFO conversation that determines whether any of it scales. For technical and industry-specific audiences.
Alec can arrive with a guest. The AIWA podcast network includes numerous deeply credible guests across enterprise AI, Financial Services, TMT and Sports Technology. Technical founders, senior enterprise leaders and practitioners building at the frontier. A fireside chat with Alec gives the audience two perspectives in one session and the kind of unscripted depth that panels rarely achieve. He is equally comfortable bringing a senior non-technical executive as a fireside guest as he is bringing a CTO or deeply technical founder at the edge of the AI frontier. The audience determines the guest profile.
As a moderator, Alec structures discussions to move seamlessly between technical depth and business implication. Ensuring the conversation is valuable for every segment of the room, not just the technical minority or the executive majority. As a panelist, he provides the technical credibility and executive translation that enterprise AI panels consistently need more of.
