  • From Pilots to Paradigm Shift: AI Transformation at Jabil
    May 11 2026

    AI transformation at enterprise scale isn't a project with a finish line; it's an organizational reckoning with how people learn, work, and create value. Vivian Sun, Senior Director of Data & AI at Jabil, brings that reality into sharp focus in this episode of AWS Executive Insights.

    In conversation with Taimur Rashid, Managing Director of the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center, Vivian explains why AI demands continuous learning, not a one-time skillset. She also explores how Jabil's Octopus Organization model works in practice, with a central body setting strategy and guardrails, while distributed teams retain the freedom to innovate in the ways that work best for them. Together, these principles are what turn early pilots into lasting organizational change.

    This episode offers leaders a practical framework for scaling AI transformation across a global organization, while keeping people, not technology, at the center of the journey.

  • The Pace of Change: DNB's Blueprint for the Future of Banking
    May 7 2026

    For DNB, transformation isn't just a strategy. It's a survival imperative.

    In this episode, Kjerstin Braathen, CEO of Norway's largest bank, makes the case that the pace of change in financial services today is unlike anything we've seen before. Not just digitization, but a full reimagining of what it means to build a bank from the ground up in a digital world.

    Her answer? Stop tweaking the edges. Pick the must-win battles that matter most, move fast, and bring your people with you. Because at DNB, technology is only as powerful as the people behind it. And that means empowering everyone across the organization to lead the change.

    This episode offers leaders a compelling perspective on what it really takes to transform at speed, without leaving your culture behind.

  • The New Security Landscape: AI Agents, Automation, and Human Judgement
    May 5 2026

    As AI agents become part of day-to-day business operations, security leaders face a new set of questions around identity, autonomy, permissions, and control. In this episode of AWS Executive Insights, Pascal Bornet speaks with Steve Schmidt, Chief Security Officer at Amazon, about how organisations should approach security in an era shaped by AI agents and automation.

    Bornet and Schmidt discuss why agents should have their own identity, how companies should think about permissions and logging, and why human judgement still matters in high-stakes environments. They also cover the risks introduced by prompt injection, the role of external guardrails, and how AI is already helping defenders move faster against threats at scale.

    This episode offers a practical view of how security teams and business leaders can respond to the rise of AI agents, with clear actions companies can take now to build safer systems from the start.
