Speaking
Darren Goonawardana speaks on what it really takes to lead with AI: the decisions, the data, and the systems that let a company scale beyond its founders. Drawing on more than 30 years building technology companies, his sessions are practical and built for executives, not hype.
AI leadership: lead with AI, not against it
Why the best executives integrate AI into how they think, decide, and operate, using it to amplify human judgment rather than replace it.
Build systems that scale without you
How leaders move from working in the business to designing the systems it runs on, so the company can grow beyond its founders.
Data strategy for leaders
Moving from collecting data to a data strategy that drives competitive advantage, built on the Microsoft data platform and AI.
From founder to CEO
The operator-to-architect transition: the most important shift a founder makes, and how to build the organisation that scales.
