Becoming AI-Native: Leadership Breakfast
Hosted by Quintin Schevernels (CEO, Impala Studios) and Jaco Bosman (Head of Tech & AI, Impala Studios)
How do you make AI work across an entire company, not just in engineering?
Over the past year, Impala Studios put AI to work in every function: engineering, product, QA, design and marketing, but also HR, finance and general management. Quintin and Jaco share exactly what happened: the wins with measurable impact, the experiments that didn't land, and what they'd do differently.
