Webinar: Leading Through AI: Insights from Silicon Valley Insider Week

What are the companies at the frontier of AI actually doing right now, and what should European tech leaders do next?

Following Boardwave’s inaugural Silicon Valley Insider Week, this webinar brings you inside five days of closed-door sessions with some of the most influential builders, investors and operators shaping the future of AI.

Join Boris Huard, Anssi Rusi, and Jean-Philippe Courtois, who participated in Boardwave’s Silicon Valley Insider Week, for a first-hand account of what they saw, heard, and challenged. Jean-Philippe, former President of Microsoft Global Sales, Marketing & Operations and now a leading advisor, investor and board member, brings a uniquely experienced global lens alongside operator perspectives from Boris and Anssi, together sharing how these insights are already translating into action.

Across the week, a clear message emerged: technology is no longer the constraint, execution is. AI is fundamentally reshaping business models, compressing value chains, and forcing leadership teams to rethink everything from pricing to product to organisational design. The companies that will lead the next decade are not waiting, they are making bold decisions now.

Moderator: Phill Robinson

In this session, we will explore:

• The most important shifts they observed firsthand inside Silicon Valley, and why they matter now
• How those insights are changing their own thinking on product, strategy and leadership
• Where AI is already reshaping business models, and what they are doing in response
• How they are approaching AI adoption inside their organisations, including what’s working (and what isn’t)
• What this means for European tech companies, and where they see the biggest immediate opportunity
• The practical actions they have taken since returning, and what they would prioritise if starting today

This is a candid, peer-led conversation combining operator perspective with one of the most experienced global technology leaders of the last two decades, bringing both practical execution insight and a broader strategic lens on how AI is reshaping the industry.
