For the 200th episode, the roles flip: Anabella Gonzalez interviews host Mateo Bervejillo, CEO of Xseed Solutions, about the journey from episode 1 to 200. Mateo reflects on what AI has changed since 2023 (and why engineers are still needed), what 200 conversations taught him about truly listening, the traits the guests who marked him share, and the phrase that sums up the whole ride: trust the process.
Bogdan Snisar, engineering leader at Solea AI and formerly at Revolut and Wix, explains how AI is reshaping software engineering and how companies operate. The conversation covers where AI genuinely creates business value, the rise of the "product engineer," the mental models to unlearn (including thinking about what not to build), how attention becomes the real bottleneck when you ship hundreds of PRs a month, and why — even in an AI-first world — trust and the ability to deliver still come down to humans.
Sridhar Ravilla, fractional executive and author of Transformation That Lands and Humans at Scale, explains why so many transformation programs fail despite executive support, talent, and investment — and why the real issue is ownership, not strategy. The conversation covers execution over strategy decks, the human side of AI adoption, recovering stalled programs past "green dashboard syndrome," and leading through uncertainty by thinking clearer, not faster.
Swathi Young, co-author of an ethical AI framework for the US government, unpacks what "ethical AI" actually means beyond buzzwords — data lineage and cited sources, explainable white box models, data minimization and security, and keeping humans in the loop. The conversation also covers where enterprises and governments stand on AI governance, where regulation is heading, how diverse teams reduce bias, and practical advice for engineers and leaders navigating an AI-first world.
