 Discussion Points:

• What would you consider your digital thread (the defining interests and experiences that brought you to this point in life)?
• With your strong background in Adtech, notably founding Apptimyze, a targeting recommendations engine startup, what led you to transition to Bonsai, focusing on industries such as Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Automotive, Smart Buildings, and Supply Chain?
• After joining Microsoft following their acquisition of Bonsai in 2018 and working across their AI and Research teams, you eventually led Autonomous AI Adoption. What insights did you gain from your time at Microsoft, and what achievements are you most proud of?
• You co-founded Composabl just a year ago, in April 2023, alongside your CTO, Xavier Geerinck. What was the inspiration behind launching Composabl for both of you?
• In simpler terms, how would you explain Composabl's platform for building industrial-strength, intelligent, and autonomous agents?
• Can you share some of the initial successes or achievements you've experienced with Composabl?
• What's the typical process for new clients to engage with Composabl to address their industrial AI challenges?
• Over the past decade, Momenta has invested in industrial optimization and AI, noting a scarcity of these systems used in autonomous (or closed-loop) applications. What factors do you believe are driving more companies to consider these applications now?
• Congratulations on authoring "Designing Autonomous AI," a valuable guide for Machine Teaching published by O'Reilly. In addition to your book, what other resources do you recommend for potential clients and users interested in industrial AI?
• As we wrap up, I am curious how you maintain your edge as a leader. Any recommendations you would like to highlight?
