I speak with enterprise executives almost every day, and one topic comes up constantly: what are other companies actually doing with AI?
Here are 5 practical ways executives using AI co-workers today: linkedin.com/pulse/how-execu…
Getting in front of a CXO isn't the hard part. Getting invited back is.
My advice:
1. Act as an advisor, not a seller.
2. Stop treating exec engagement as a one-off event. Start treating it as a bi-weekly part of your work.
Relationships are earned, not scheduled.
Execs feel the pressure to move fast with AI, but here’s the reality: context is the catalyst for speed.
Not better models. Not more agents.
Context makes AI work. And that lives in a well-built ontology layer on your data platform: databricks.com/blog/data-ont…
Blending two things I love: sports and @Databricks.
We just unveiled Databricks Field at Cal Memorial Stadium! All 7 of our founders went to @UCBerkeley and started building Databricks right on campus, so partnering with Cal is our way of giving back.
Go Bears!
3 continents, 3 cities, and 8,000+ people. What a way to launch the @Databricks Data + AI World Tour!
Massive thanks to our local customers, partners, and teams who brought it to life in Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Sydney.
Check out where we’ll be next: databricks.com/dataaisummit/…

The hardest part of leadership isn’t learning a new playbook. It’s unlearning your old one.
I’m grateful for 5 years at @Databricks spent operating from first principles, listening before acting, and unlocking talent. Never been more excited for what’s ahead!
Industry specialization is key. What works in retail won't work in healthcare.
Excited to see partners like @Capgemini, @LovelyticsData, @IBM & @Cognizant build 60+ industry solutions on @Databricks Lakebase, spanning FinServ, Mfg, Retail & Healthcare: databricks.com/blog/vertical…

We are open sourcing Dolly, a ChatGPT-like model that can do instruction following, created for $30, trained 3 hours on 1 server. The secret in magical human-like interactivity probably lies in a small dataset.
