Forward Deployed: AI Agents in the Enterprise

​Most teams are still figuring out what AI agents can actually do, and the gap between what's demoed and what works in production is wider than anyone admits.

​Join engineers from teams at Mercor, Sierra, Intercom, and Turing for an unfiltered chat on what it really takes to build and deploy AI agents at enterprise scale.

​Expect a practical, no-fluff conversation grounded in real experience. Not theory.

• ​NATALIE MEURER | Head of Agent Engineering @ Sierra | $635M Raised
  $100M ARR in just seven quarters — one of the fastest ever in enterprise software. Sierra agents reach over 90% of Americans in retail and over 50% of US families in healthcare — refinancing homes, processing returns, and handling insurance claims autonomously.
  

• ​HARSH TRIVEDI | Founding Engineer @ Mercor | $492M Raised
  The hidden infrastructure behind the LLMs you use every day. Revenue went from $75M to $850M in under 8 months — one of the fastest-growing companies in history. When OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind need human experts to train their models, they come here.
  

• ​JUHI PAREKH | GM, Key Frontier AGI Accounts & Head of Research Partnerships @ Turing | $225M Raised
  Managing Turing's relationships with Anthropic, OpenAI, and other frontier labs — closing hundreds of millions in annual revenue while building the post-training pipelines, RL environments, and evals that make their models better. Turing does $300M+ ARR powering the world's top AI labs.
  

• ​KEVIN LYNCH | Senior Forward Deployed Engineer @ Intercom | $490M Raised
  One of the engineers building Fin.ai — the agent that now resolves 1M customer issues per week at $0.99 per resolution, backed by a $1M performance guarantee. Fin went from $1M to $100M+ ARR and is on track to represent half of Intercom's total revenue.
