Watch our exclusive interview with Philip Guido, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at AMD (NASDAQ: AMD).Just in the past couple of weeks, AMD set the tone with $100B+ #deals being signed. So this time, we decided to explore the #GTM engine behind it all.We started by discussing how relationships with #hyperscalers have evolved - from traditional vendor dynamics to true co-creation #partnerships, like in the #EPYC case, while keep full transparency throughout the process.From there, we explored how AMD’s unified #sales structure of Data Center, Embedded, and Client sales — enables stronger cross-selling into #Fortune500 companies, especially as AI workloads increasingly move from the cloud to the edge.A major #differentiator for AMD is its #OpenEcosystem approach. We touched into why open source and optionality matter so much, and at the end drive innovation, competition, choice, and pricing flexibility.With #AI now moving from the enterprise to the #edge, we used #RyzenPRO as a case study to understand how the GTM team gets involved early in the development cycle— as time to market could take years in the space.We also covered the key #metrics Philip constantly tracks—pipeline growth, POC, and win rates. And of course, he shared advice for #entrepreneurs: stay relentlessly curious.And what’s the #technology beyond AI that Phil is most excited about? 🤖💻💡Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Amado Vargas IV.#tech #ai #gtm #customers #opensource Chapters:00:00 Intro00:40 Lou Gerstner Influence02:16 Top Non-Technical Focus03:47 Transition towards a Value-Based Company05:03 Hyperscale Evolution (Roadmap Development)06:44 Connecting Data-Center to Mobile World08:11 AMD's Open-Ecosystem Approach10:29 Networking's Role in Attracting Customers12:27 Edge AI Strategy & Ryzen PRO13:32 GTM Strategy and Adaptability14:49 Commercial Metrics15:37 Advice for Entrepreneurs?16:53 Impactful Advice?18:03 Coffee with a Historical Figure?18:58 Favorite Piece of Technology?

Powered by #AI, Voyantis’ platform operates across 2 main layers:1) #Prediction – Leveraging AI to analyze data and achieve up to 90% accuracy in predicting customer value.2) #Activation – Using a #SignalEngnerring to connect insights directly to marketing channels such as Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads, and a company’s own website, enabling #smarter acquisition of future customers.We then explored their #GTM strategy and what differentiates Voyantis from others in the space - particularly their positioning as a #PrescriptiveAI platform rather than just predictive AI.Beyond Voyantis, Ido also serves as a #mentor at Techstars, which led us to discuss his role there and how much he has learned from working with other entrepreneurs.And Ido’s alternate-universe #profession? 🎸🥁🎶Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Jason Woolf.#tech #ai #data #customer #GTM Chapters:00:00 Intro01:01 Problem Selection Criteria06:12 Impact of COVID and AI11:00 Future of Marketing KPIs17:38 Big Tech Partnerships22:17 Miro Case Study24:38 Enterprise vs. SMB Strategy25:33 CEO Challenges and Scaling27:06 CMO vs. Growth Teams27:48 Predictive vs. Prescriptive AI29:48 Leadership and Mentoring31:35 Coffee with historical figure of choice 32:33 Advice for Entrepreneurs33:07 Personal Hobbies33:35 Mentor Influence34:48 Favorite Movie35:10 Sources of Motivation

Watch our exclusive interview with Ofir Ehrlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Eon.io.As companies need more data to train their #agents, Eon.io has grown rapidly, #raising over $500M in just two years to chase a $100B+ market #opportunity.We explored how their platform enables organizations to retrieve and extract #data directly from cloud #backups with minimal overhead, while also indexing that data so it can be used for #AI and BI applications.One particularly compelling case study we touched on was their work with SoFi, where Eon.io reduced #data retrieval times from days to minutes and delivered over 100% #ROI in the first year.Interestingly, because the solution is #agentless, clients don’t need to install any #software. That led to a discussion about how the company #balances the access needed and data governance.We then explored how the #cloud is evolving into a “nervous system” for organizations, and whether this shift means organizations are moving away from buying #infrastructure like VMs and toward purchasing outcomes such as #automationFrom there, we discussed the broader cloud #ecosystem and whether, in the near future, it will become easier for companies to move workloads between #cloud providers.Lastly, we touched on Ofir’s angel #investments, including the green flags he looks for in founders, and the ultimate question: what matters more - choosing the right #team or the right #market?And take a guess what is Ofir favorite #Movie? 🚀🌕🧑‍🚀Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Álvaro Jiménez Cabello de los Cobos.#tech #ai #data #cloud #backup Chapters:00:00 Intro01:04 Creating a Product in Data03:11 Raising funds06:34 Eon´s Products09:48 Building Value in Data Recovery13:27 Balancing safety and access15:01 LLM Pipelines?18:00 Evolution of data management in the age of AI20:55 Cloud as a company´s nervous system23:39 Cloud providers and standards27:11 Green flags in Angel Investing29:11 Exciting verticals to invest in30:53 Advice for entrepreneurs33:03 Hobbies outside of work34:48 Coffee with a historical figure35:37 Favorite Movie35:49 Alternative life to entrepreneurship

Watch our exclusive interview with Forrest Norrod, EVP and GM of the Data Center Solutions Business Group at AMD (NASDAQ: AMD)As the world of #computing is changing at an unprecedented scale, AMD sits right at the epicenter - driven by major recent #developments and strategic partnerships.We started by discussing Forrest’s philosophy of being #customer-centric, and why this matters so much in this industry. Customers aren’t looking for a piece of #technology or silicon - they’re looking for complete #solutions to real problems.We then explored #datacenters in #space. Is it possible? Harnessing #solar energy is an obvious advantage, but there are serious #challenges - from the fragility of #GPUs in space environments to the complexity of dissipating heat from chips.As AMD evolved from a CPU challenger into an end-to-end data center platform company, we discussed what it took to make that #transition a reality - from adopting a #SystemsFirst engineering mindset to strategic moves like the $5B #acquisition of ZT Systems.And with AMD’s recent partnership with OpenAI, where OpenAI is set to deploy #6gigawatts of AMD GPUs, we dove into the #journey behind that collaboration and what it means for positioning AMD at the forefront of the #AI era.We also discussed how the role of the #builder is evolving given these technological shifts. And as a turn-based gamer, Forrest even shared that he writes #games himself - still waiting on that #demo, Forrest 😉Lastly, we touched on why all of AMD’s server #CPUs are named after cities in #Italy, and wrapped up with #advice for current and future entrepreneurs navigating this new era of computing.And can you guess Forrest favorite #movie? 🤖 🏙️🎬 Check our new website:https://www.boardroomclub.netCheck out our new YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@BoardroomClubInterviewers: Yossi Garmazi & Álvaro Jiménez Cabello de los Cobos.#tech #ai #datacenter #agent #gamer Chapters:00:00 Intro00:48 Building long term strategy02:27 Non Obvious Lessons04:44 Data Centers in Space06:52 Internal Shifts in AMD09:19 Impact of Shifts on Customer Relations11:06 Impact of Memory Capacity13:33 Selling to OpenAI15:22 Effects of Customer Input15:40 AGI19:08 The Future of Coding21:46 Projects outside of AMD22:10 AI on Physical worlds25:24 Favorite & Most surprising Country26:59 Hobbies and Passions27:43 Advice for entrepreneurs29:16 Career Mentor30:30 Coffee with historical figure31:39 Exciting Tech outside of AI33:22 Favorite Movie

Watch our exclusive interview with Wade Foster, Co-Founder and CEO of Zapier.Raising only about $1M, staying fully #remote, and reaching a #valuation of more than $5B - this is the story of Zapier.We started by exploring Zapier’s decision to be fully #remote from day one: from the philosophy of “hire when it hurts,” to documenting all communication across tools, and now taking it a step further by using #agents to activate that knowledge and drive a new level of #effectiveness.We then dove into how Zapier adapted to the #AI era - from the co-founders going back to the ground floor, to declaring “#CodeRed” after #customer conversations, recognizing the #disruption potential, and ultimately launching #ZapierAgents and #MCP.Next, we discussed their decision to grow not only through #PLG, but also with a dedicated #sales motion - what led them there, and the #mindset shifts required to make it work.As the world evolves, we asked: who is the #automation hero of #2026? The builder, or the manager of agents?
