AI Leadership Roundtable: Lead AI-Native Org with Gowtham Gundu (Chief AI Officer @ Fetch, Ex Google Director)
Every AI leader is wrestling with the same tension: how do you move fast with AI without breaking trust, quality, or your organization?
Ship too slowly, and you fall behind. Ship too fast without guardrails, and you create risk you can't walk back.
Gowtham Gundu knows both sides of this equation. He is Fetch's first-ever Chief AI Officer, leading the company's vision of becoming fully AI-first. Before that, he spent nearly two decades at Google, most recently as Director of Engineering for Ads Content Safety, where he led teams protecting an over $250 billion advertising ecosystem by deploying ML at scale. His pioneering use of LLMs in Google Ads earned him multiple Ads Impact awards.
In this invite-only fireside chat, Gowtham will share:
How to increase engineering velocity with AI without sacrificing quality or trust
What "impact" actually looks like when measuring AI initiatives across an organization
Designing guardrails that enable speed instead of slowing teams down, lessons from protecting a $250B ecosystem at Google
How Fetch is operationalizing an AI-first culture, including company-wide initiatives like AI Week
How leadership roles and team structures are evolving in an AI-first world
This is a small-group conversation, not a webinar. Come ready to share, ask questions, and compare notes with fellow AI leaders.
