Most companies say they'll go electric someday. AstraZeneca didn't wait. On The Fleet, procurement leader Alejandra Torres walks me through building a carbon-zero fleet across Latin America — and why treating electrification as a "later" problem is the real mistake.

Show: The Fleet

We keep asking when the autonomous electric fleet revolution will arrive. Dr. Sven Beiker — ex-BMW, Stanford CARS, McKinsey — told me on The Fleet that the gold-rush era is already over, and the real bottleneck was never the cars. It's charging reliability, machine-readable roads, and policy.

Chris Brandt
Show: IT Visionaries

AI was supposed to make work easier. So why is everyone more burned out than ever? On this IT Visionaries episode, guest co-host Lacey Peace and I get into the real drivers — the "do more with less" culture, the false promise of automation, and the loneliness creeping through tech teams.

Jun 12 The AI Saturation Problem — with KPMG's Kelle Fontenot

Chris Brandt
Show: IT Visionaries

Your people aren't tired of change — they're saturated, and that distinction decides whether an AI rollout lands or bounces.

One of the most forward-looking conversations I've had on my IT Visionaries channel.

Chris Brandt
Show: IT Visionaries

A 90-year-old brand isn't where you'd expect to find cutting-edge AI. Vineet Mahajan, CTO of U.S. News & World Report, proved me wrong — semantic search, generative AI, agentic tools, all built on decades of data most companies would call a liability. How a legacy institution reinvents itself, on my IT Visionaries channel.

Government procurement is where good tech goes to die — or so the cliché goes.
