AI Transformation in the Global Energy Business - AMA with Sunjay Pandey (BP)
As Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) at BP, Sunjay Pandey leads product, engineering, data, and AI across the $66B global energy giant.
In our virtual AMA, we'll talk about:
• What translated from Amazon to BP, and what broke the moment he entered an asset-heavy industry
• How to lead teams solving everything from internal enterprise software to consumer payments and ads, to deeply technical systems tied to fields and infrastructure
• How to prioritize across radically different risk profiles, time horizons, and user bases
• When to build, when to buy, and whether startups can earn trust when software becomes core infrastructure
• How the bar for AI rises when failure impacts safety and performance, not just engagement
• Which AI capabilities will actually matter for energy and utilities, and which are still overhyped
We will also ask the human questions. What has he learned about leadership at scale? How he manages his own energy? What shifts when you move between big tech and global enterprise? What advice he would give to builders in the room?
