Executive Roundtable: Building Competitive AI Advantage with Intellias
In 2026, everyone has AI. But who is building a competitive advantage with it?
A focused leadership conversation on how organizations are building actual competitive advantage with data and AI.
April 21, 2026
3 p.m. to 4 p.m. – The Roundtable
4 p.m. to 5 p.m. – Cocktail Reception
4 p.m. to 5 p.m. – Cocktail Reception
London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf
AI is becoming a core driver of competitive advantage across the software, SaaS & platforms, retail, and iGaming industries. We’ll discuss what separates experimentation from real capability. We will also address how leading companies are scaling data platforms, embedding AI into products and decisions, and creating systems that continuously learn.
Most organizations are still stuck in experimentation phases. Use cases are fragmented. Value is inconsistent. And AI rarely becomes part of how the business runs.
This discussion focuses on what it takes to turn AI into a real business advantage:
- Moving from isolated initiatives to repeatable value creation
- Building AI value loops and operating models that compound over time
- Treating data and AI as business assets, not technical projects
- Establishing digital trust, governance, and oversight as enablers of scale, not constraints
The Roundtable will serve as a strategic forum, bringing together prominent market leaders, and key partners, including AWS and Intellias — to foster collaboration and drive industry impact. Expect an interactive peer exchange to gain perspective on what separates companies that experiment with AI from those that compound with it.
The event will feature author Dr. Elena Alikhachkina, a four-time Fortune 500 Chief Data and AI Officer, and her co-author, Bernhard Brouwer, a former CIO of Johnson & Johnson. They will share practical insights into building responsible and effective AI systems.
Grounded in perspectives from AI Oversight, the conversation will explore the leadership choices that determine whether AI remains a tool or becomes a driver of growth, resilience, and differentiation.
Designed for senior leaders who are shaping how their organizations create value in an AI-driven economy.
Why this conversation matters
Across industries, organizations are investing heavily in AI. But many remain stuck in experimentation.
Models can be deployed. Tools can be purchased. What’s much harder—and far more valuable—is building sustainable AI capabilities that:
- Power smarter products.
- Enable better decisions.
- Create meaningful customer experiences.
- Drive long-term commercial value.
Leading organizations are moving beyond fragmented initiatives toward intelligent, data-driven platforms that are increasingly powered by cloud-native architectures and advanced AI services on AWS.
What this roundtable is about
This exclusive roundtable brings together senior technology and product leaders to explore how to:
- Move beyond AI pilots and experimentation —towards embedding AI as a core driver of competitive advantage.
- Learn what leadership decisions determine AI success or failure.
- Align data, digital products, and AI into scalable capabilities.
- Monetize data and create new revenue streams.
- Prioritize building long-term, defensible AI advantage over short-term impact.
With a focus on real-world architectures and cloud-enabled scalability, the discussion will highlight how many organizations are building on AWS to launch AI at scale.
