Can designing for human error become the strongest cybersecurity strategy in an AI-accelerated world? In this episode, I sit down with Yaz Bekkar, Principal Consulting Architect for Barracuda XDR and a member of the company’s Office of the CTO, to explore why the speed introduced by AI is changing the risk equation for every organization. As automation allows teams to move faster, it also means small mistakes can scale at machine speed. Yaz argues that resilience in 2026 is no longer about trying to prevent every incident. It is about anticipating failure, containing the blast radius, and...

At Davos this year, some of the biggest names in tech sent a clear signal. AI is no longer a novelty. It is no longer a proof-of-concept exercise. As Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind suggested, AI will shape more meaningful work. And Satya Nadella of Microsoft was even more direct. AI only matters if it improves real outcomes for people. So what does that look like inside the enterprise? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Andrew Boyagi, Customer CTO at Atlassian, to unpack how the conversation has shifted from experimentation to execution. Developers, in many ways, are the...

After stepping off stage from moderating a panel, a Senior Frontend Developer from Capgemini waited to say hello. She asked for a quick photo, and within minutes, we were deep in conversation about hackathons, women in tech, mentoring, and the pride she felt watching Egypt host a platform of this scale. Her name is Alaa Ali Kortoma, and what began as a quick introduction turned into her very first podcast appearance. In today’s episode, you will hear directly from someone on the ground in Cairo about what AI Everywhere means to her, to Egypt, and to a generation of more than 750,000...

In this episode, I’m joined by Bill Briggs, CTO at Deloitte, for a straight-talking conversation about why so many organizations get stuck in what he calls “pilot purgatory,” and what it takes to move from impressive demos to measurable outcomes. Bill has spent nearly three decades helping leaders translate the “what” of new technology into the “so what,” and the “now what,” and he brings that lens to everything from GenAI to agentic systems, core modernization, and the messy reality of technical debt. We start with a moment of real-world context, Bill calling in from San...

Perform 2026 felt like a turning point for Dynatrace, and when Steve Tack joined me for his fourth appearance on the show, it was clear this was not business as usual. We began with a little Perform nostalgia, from Dave Anderson’s unforgettable “Full Stack Baby” moment to the debut of AI Rick on the keynote stage. But the humor quickly gave way to substance. Because beneath the spectacle, Dynatrace introduced something that signals a broader shift in observability: Dynatrace Intelligence. Steve was candid about the problem they set out to solve. Too much focus on ingesting data....

What happens when the noise around AI starts to drown out the actual business value it is meant to deliver? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Adam Field, Chief AI and Product Officer at Tungsten Automation, fresh from the conversations unfolding at Davos. While headlines continue to celebrate agentic AI and sweeping automation claims, Adam offered a grounded perspective shaped by decades of experience turning AI pilots into measurable, ROI-driven deployments. His view is simple. The hype cycle may be accelerating, but many organizations still struggle with the fundamentals....

How do you build a $30 million ARR business with just three people and a fleet of AI agents doing the heavy lifting? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I connected with Amos Joseph, CEO of Swan AI. From the moment we joked about AI notetakers silently observing our conversation, it was clear this discussion would go beyond surface-level automation talk. Amos is attempting something bold. He is building what he calls an autonomous business, one designed to scale with intelligence rather than headcount. Amos has already built and exited two B2B startups using the traditional...

Is Bitcoin still just a digital store of value, or is it quietly evolving into the financial engine of a new on-chain economy? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Callan Sarre, Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, to explore what happens when the world's most recognized crypto asset stops sitting idle and starts becoming programmable capital. We recorded against the backdrop of a sharp market correction that wiped out value across crypto and traditional assets alike, making for a timely and honest conversation about volatility, maturity, and why Bitcoin's next chapter may be defined...

What actually happens when AI stops being a cloud-only experiment and starts running on desks, in labs, and inside real teams trying to ship real work? In this episode, I sit down with Logan Lawler, Senior Director at Dell Technologies, to unpack how AI workloads are really being built and supported on the ground today. Logan leads Dell’s Precision and Pro Max AI Solutions business and hosts Dell’s own Reshaping Workflows podcast, giving him a rare vantage point into how engineers, developers, creatives, and data teams are actually working, not how marketing slides suggest they should be....

What does it really take to move AI from experimentation into something enterprises can trust, scale, and rely on every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Rob Lay, CTO and Solutions Engineering Director for Cisco UK and Ireland, recorded in the run-up to Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam. As agentic AI dominates conference agendas on both sides of the Atlantic, this conversation steps away from model hype. It focuses on the less glamorous, but far more decisive layer underneath it all: infrastructure. Rob explains why the biggest constraint on scaling AI agents in production...

I invited Jackie Lorch, VP, Global Knowledge Management of Dynata onto the Tech Talks Daily Podcast to talk about the global research around data privacy. The mistrust between consumers and companies is at an all-time high, according to new data by Dynata. The Data Privacy & Trust report surveyed consumers in nine countries, including the US, to get their perspectives on data transparency by companies, the value exchange, familiarity and privacy.
Topline findings include the facts that 70 percent of consumers agree that companies have been dishonest about how personal data is used. 80 percent of consumers would be more willing to share data if brands were more transparent about their plans for that data. But only 27 percent would feel more comfortable sharing data if “valuable benefits” were offered in exchange.
We further discuss this research and implications to brands, why we need to fundamentally change how we think and talk about transparency and “the value exchange.” We also explore and where we’re at in our evolution around data ownership and privacy.
