Sylvie Ouziel, Co-Founder & CEO of BlueBridge, joins Margot Bletterie to answer some of the biggest questions on successful AI adoption with a practical focus on cost efficiency, process integration, and data privacy.

Drawing on her extensive executive background at Accenture, Allianz, and Publicis, Sylvie breaks down how organisations should be thinking about AI and how to achieve real ROI without heavy investments that keep them tied down with systems that don't work for them in practice.

She also highlights the financial, security, and operational pitfalls of reliance on rogue internal AI agents, while explaining the growing shift toward open-source models and on-premise infrastructure.

What you'll learn:

- Why cost efficiency and token management are critical when deploying AI at scale

- How AI-native system integration transforms administrative workflows and complex operational planning

- The risks of uncoordinated "citizen developer" AI agents and how to enforce robust cybersecurity guardrails

- Why organizations are moving away from public cloud setups toward open-source, on-premise solutions due to regulatory and client constraints

- How companies can start with impactful AI pilots that deliver immediate financial ROI without waiting for perfect data foundations
