If you're keen to share your story, please reach out to us! There's a lot of rage in the AI-SRE space right now and I was keen to get some of the big players on the show to get under the hood of what they're building and the areas of focus. Playing the same game but approaches from different angles. - Hacking and building with his co-founder pre "AI" - Their thinking and anti-patterns behind building a traditional SaaS business and how they are so customer-obsessed. - What it really takes to serve mission-critical services + names like NVIDIA (https://www.linkedin.com/company/nvidia/). - Building Rootly as an AI-first company to incubating their own research lab, to driving AI through sales/GTM.
