From strategy to scale – How to hire the right team to execute your AI strategy

Having an AI strategy is one thing. Building the right team to execute it is another. On November 26, we're bringing together enterprise AI, data, technology, and business leaders in Munich to discuss what it takes to move from AI strategy and experimentation to real implementation. How do you identify the skills your company is missing? What should you look for when hiring AI talent? When does it make sense to build internal capabilities, and when should you bring in external expertise? And how are AI agents changing the teams companies need? We'll explore these questions through practical conversations with people working on AI implementation, technical hiring, and enterprise transformation. Beyond the talks, there will be opportunities for 1:1 mentoring, meeting other professionals, and exchanging experiences with people facing similar challenges. What we’ll cover What capabilities companies need to turn AI strategy into execution Why AI initiatives often get stuck between pilots and production How to identify the skills missing from your current team What actually matters when evaluating and hiring AI talent When to build AI capabilities internally and when external expertise makes sense How AI agents are changing enterprise workflows, roles, and team structures Lessons from real AI implementations inside large organizations Speakers and sessions Cristina-Catalina Cazacu AI Strategist, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Fireside Chat: From AI Strategy to Scale — Building Teams That Deliver Cristina brings experience in AI strategy, enterprise transformation, and the challenges organizations face when moving from AI experimentation to implementation. In this fireside chat, we'll explore how companies can build the right teams, develop AI capabilities, and create the conditions for AI initiatives to deliver business results. We'll discuss what leaders should prioritize when building AI teams, how to identify missing skills, how business and technology teams can work better together, and what changes as AI agents become part of everyday workflows. Jakub Drabik CTO, Jimmy Technologies Fundamentals Over Frameworks: What Actually Matters When Hiring AI Talent What should companies really look for when hiring AI engineers and technical talent?

Martin Stojka CEO, Jimmy Technologies AI Delivery Gap & Anatomy of a Hire Why is there often such a large gap between an AI strategy and the ability to deliver it? Martin will look at the anatomy of a strong AI hire and the capabilities companies need to close that execution gap. Mentoring sessions After the talks and Q&A, we’ll move into small-group mentoring sessions with experienced AI, data, and technology leaders. Bring your own questions and current challenges around AI execution, team capabilities, hiring, internal versus external talent, or scaling AI initiatives.
