About Event

Private Virtual Session with Commerce & Technology Leaders 

Many organizations are testing AI at the surface level, copilots, prompts, and pilots. Few have built the infrastructure required for AI to operate reliably inside core business systems. 

This private executive session focuses on what separates experimentation from production. 

You’ll hear directly from Kelly Goetsch, President of Pipe17 and Founder of the Commerce Operations Foundation, and Miguel Navarro, a Seasoned Digital Leader actively building and governing production-grade AI systems in complex commerce and enterprise environments. 

Together, they will unpack the structural decisions behind successful AI adoption and share real-world examples of how companies are turning AI into a competitive advantage. 

No hype. No product demos. No introductory AI theory. 
Just practical insight into what is working inside complex organizations today. 

What You’ll Learn 

  • What an “AI agent” really means in a production environment 

  • Where autonomous systems are delivering measurable ROI today 

  • How leading teams are applying AI across revenue, operations, and reporting 

  • The infrastructure required for AI-ready commerce 

  • How to approach build vs. buy decisions across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and orchestration layers 

  • The architectural choices that will compound, positively or negatively, over the next 24 months 

Featured Speakers 

Kelly Goetsch 

President, Pipe17 
Former Chief Strategy Officer, commercetools

Kelly’s work centers on operational interoperability in modern commerce, the underlying systems that allow orders, inventory, and fulfillment to move reliably across channels. 

As founder of the Commerce Operations Foundation, he leads the development of open standards such as the Order Network eXchange (onX), designed to ensure commerce infrastructure can support automation and intelligent orchestration at scale. 

His perspective focuses on the structural foundations required for AI to function reliably inside complex commerce ecosystems. 

Miguel Navarro 

Innovator, Patented Inventor, Seasoned Digital Leader, Passionate Fraud Fighter

Miguel leads enterprise AI initiatives at a highly regulated financial institution, translating experimentation into production-ready, governed systems.

He brings a practical perspective on what it takes to deploy AI responsibly in complex, risk-sensitive environments.
