  • 88: "Context is King," Says Chris Peart, Snowflake
    Jun 16 2026

    Chris Peart, Sales Leader at Snowflake Canada, shares how unified data, governed context, and agentic AI are reshaping how enterprises turn information into action. He explains why "context is king" as frontier models become commoditized, how a single AI Data Cloud across AWS, Azure, and GCP removes the brittleness of traditional architectures, and how Snowflake Cortex and Coworker give knowledge workers immediate answers instead of waiting weeks for engineering teams.

    He also digs into the agentic future and the cultural shift required to win with AI: why "nobody sells anybody anything" and customers buy outcomes, why Canadian enterprises are falling behind global peers by being too cautious, and how the next frontier is autonomous agents negotiating with other agents across organizational boundaries.

    The episode answers:

    • Why is your data, not the model you choose, the true competitive differentiator in the agentic era?
    • What does a governed context layer look like, and why is it the foundation for agents you can trust?
    • Why are Canadian enterprises falling behind global peers on AI, and what does it take to start swinging?

  • 81: “The technology is good enough. The real hurdle now is people, fear, and change management,” says Shannon Bell, CIO, OpenText
    May 14 2026

    Shannon Bell, EVP, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Officer at OpenText, shares how “information first” thinking, simplicity, and agentic AI are reshaping how large enterprises work. She explains why most enterprises don’t have an AI problem but an information problem, how to go slow to go fast with AI, and how a blended workforce of humans and AI agents turns scarce skills and fragmented processes into scalable value.

    Crucially, she digs into change management and the future of jobs: why fear of displacement is often higher than the reality, how to position AI as a copilot rather than a competitor, and what it means to give 22,000+ employees an AI development goal so they can actively shape how their roles evolve. She also shows where agentic AI is ready now, such as search and summarize, root cause analysis, and software delivery, and why success depends on clear roles, governed data, and using HR and SRE teams as early champions to build an “AI fabric” across the enterprise.

    • What does it really take to make AI an assistant, not a threat, for your workforce?
    • How can you start small on messy, real-world systems and still build toward an AI ready data estate?
    • Which foundations, guardrails, and operating model let you decentralize AI innovation without losing control?

  • 84: "Start with Business Challenges, Not Solutions," Says Justin Rister, Microsoft
    Apr 30 2026

    Justin Rister, Senior Cloud and AI Specialist at Microsoft, explains why leaders should start with business pain points, not technology. He shares how Fabric unifies the analytics stack for teams of all skillsets, why Databricks and Fabric are a better-together story, and how an AI layer on unified data empowers business users to ask questions and get answers without waiting on IT.

    • What does it mean to be a strategic partner instead of a product pusher?
    • How do you remove bottlenecks by letting business users access insights directly?
    • Why should leaders think big, start small, and scale fast?
