AI without the Noise: how engineering leaders stay current
Hosted by Orion Innovation and Silicon Valley AI Hub (SVAI) by Snowflake.
This panel discussion explores a familiar challenge: how engineering leaders stay current on AI without chasing every new trend.
Engineering teams are often deeply immersed in AI, while leaders are responsible for setting direction. AI is moving quickly, and leadership time is limited.
This will be a peer-level conversation about how engineering leaders:
Stay informed about AI
Separate signal from noise
Experiment and keep learning
Develop a clear perspective on AI
Our speakers:
Latha Srinivasan, Director of Software Engineering at Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Shweta Saraf, Director of Engineering at LinkedIn
Monica Bajaj, VP of Engineering at Okta
Kshitish Soman, Head of Information Security at Seagate Technology
Moderator: Yousuf Khan, Venture Partner at Ridge Ventures
Rather than focusing on tools or technical deep dives, the discussion will center on how leaders learn about AI, make sense of new developments, and stay thoughtful in a fast-moving environment.
This conversation is intended for:
Engineering leaders (Directors, VPs, Heads of Engineering, and Managers)
Product leaders
Technical decision-makers and executives
Join us for a peer conversation and exchange practical perspectives with others navigating similar challenges.
