Acrew x SVB | The Insider You Built
AI agents are already planning, deciding, and acting inside organizations. Every deployment puts that authority somewhere. Who holds it, who oversees it, and who answers for the outcome are leadership decisions, and they will shape what comes next.
On October 21, Acrew Capital and Silicon Valley Bank are bringing that conversation to San Francisco with an evening celebrating The Insider You Built: How Organizations Stay in Control of Autonomous AI Agents, the national bestselling new book by Camille Stewart Gloster and every attendee gets a copy!
The evening focuses on AI, business value, and organizational resilience. It opens with a fireside chat with Camille, followed by a panel with Ash Kaduskar, Head of AI at First Citizens Bank, and Ian Livingstone, Founder & CEO of Keycard. Ash brings the view from inside a major financial institution; Ian brings the view from a founder building for this new era. Together with Camille, they’ll explore how organizations can maximize the value of AI while building the governance, security, and operational resilience needed to sustain those gains as systems become more capable and autonomous.
