📍 Weekly Exclusive Interviews

This week’s Dispatch focuses on a single operating principle: visibility before automation. Alex Dukhovny’s telecom-expense insights show how organizations deploy AI without fully understanding usage, creating unmonitored spend and avoidable waste across mobility, telecom, cloud, and SaaS environments.

Arvind Parthasarathi’s cybersecurity perspective highlights the growing pressure of AI-driven incidents that can escalate into enterprise crises, raising the value of proactive preparation and trusted intelligence.

Mike Romeri’s supply-chain work brings the operational payoff into focus: when teams detect and resolve issues quickly, they can often prevent customer-facing time and cost delays altogether.

This intensive Summit equips B2B talent-acquisition and HR executives to build an AI-enabled, governed, & measurable recruiting strategy as AI agents enter core hiring workflows. Participate in targeted sessions led by experts from 5app, AceUp, Veritas Prime, PageUp and other B2B innovators. Gain practical insight into AI-powered sourcing, skills matching, candidate engagement, screening, interview coordination, & HR-tech-stack integration.

Three signals stand out across expense management, cybersecurity, and supply chains. First, AI investment requires clear usage data and cost control—not more blind deployment. Second, cyber resilience depends on anticipating AI-enabled threats before they become full-scale incidents. Finally, supply-chain AI delivers its greatest value when it helps teams identify and resolve disruptions early enough to protect the customer experience.
