Steen Graham | Digital Thread Podcast | Scalers.ai | Momenta

Before Scalers.ai, Steen led key IoT and Edge initiatives at Intel, including serving as General Manager of IoT and Edge AI, as well as General Manager of IoT Ecosystems and Channels. Over the past decade, he's driven the adoption of IoT, Edge, and AI solutions across industries and built developer tools, ecosystems, solutions, and industry-specific products to accelerate technology adoption and deliver business outcomes to enterprises. These efforts contributed to hundreds of thousands of enterprise deployments; design wins with over a billion in revenue growth for Intel and adoption by hundreds of thousands of developers. He holds a bachelor's degree in Science from the University of Oregon and has several pending patents. 

Scalers.ai collaborates with leading digital product companies to accelerate their edge offerings (orchestration software, time-series database, or computer chips), through the more rapid development of product-market fit. The company works also with solution providers, SIs, and ISVs to win more RFPs and new business by accelerating their ability to deploy digital technologies.

Discussion Points:

• What would you consider to be your 'Digital Thread'?
• You had a long run at Intel, overseeing several IoT efforts with "ecosystem" in the title. What is an ecosystem to you? And why was this valuable to Intel's efforts?
• What did Intel consider to be the Edge at the time you were there?
• What compelled you to make the jump into the startups as you did last July?
• You co-founded scaler.AI with also, I think, well-known former Intel, Chetan Gadgil last July. What is your elevator ride speech?
• Last week you were at the ISC West in Las Vegas participating in the Intel booth. What was it that you were promoting?
• What are some of your early use cases and wins?
• Who would you consider to be your key clients and partners and how would they engage you?
• What do you think the next several years hold for us in this industrial Edge computing area?
