Many companies are investing in AI, but far fewer can point to the returns. David Cho, head of Bain’s Dallas office and leader of the firm’s AI transformation solutions, joins Keith to explain what separates the winners from the experimenters and what these cases look like once you get past the strategy deck. He also shares the mentors and the startup detour that shaped his path to where he is today.

There's no shortage of predictions about what AI means for the consulting industry. Ron Kermisch, Bain's global head of talent acquisition, brings 30+ years of perspective to a more grounded take: how AI is actually reshaping the way Bain hires, what types of talent are we looking for, and what it means for candidates.
