  • The Future of AI-Powered Supply Chains with Prologis CTO Sineesh Keshav
    Jun 25 2025

    On the 53rd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Sineesh Keshav, Chief Technology Officer at Prologis. With over 1.3 billion square feet under management and over 8 billion in revenue, Prologis is the world's largest logistics real estate company. In this conversation, Sineesh shares his perspective on how Prologis drove 95% company-wide adoption of generative AI through personal productivity use cases. He also discusses the future of SaaS as enterprises begin to take greater ownership of their data and AI models, and how AI is enabling a shift from static infrastructure to dynamic, self-optimizing supply chains.

    Quick hits from Sineesh:

    On understanding build vs. buy with AI: "If everyone has access to the latest, greatest models, which should be our assumption, then the only thing that differentiates your company is your data, and how you use it. And anything that touches proprietary data should be built internally.”

    On the importance of enterprise AI strategy: "This isn't something you can afford to sit out. There's a minimum investment every company needs to make—don't skimp on licenses; don't wait to see how it shakes out. Make it accessible, find champions, and start now.”

    On how AI empowers employees: "At the most basic level, it's a productivity driver. Some people use it to proofread emails, others use it to summarize a 40-page memo, or draft that memo entirely. Every employee can use it in completely different ways—and that's exactly the point.”

  • Modernizing a 100-Year-Old Institution: AI at TIAA with Chief Operating, Information & Digital Officer Sastry Durvasula
    Jun 11 2025

    On the 52nd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) talks with Sastry Durvasula, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating, Information, and Digital Officer at TIAA. Serving the investment and retirement needs of over 5 million customers, TIAA is a Fortune 500 financial services company with $40 billion in revenue and over $1 trillion in assets under management. In this conversation, Sastry shares his perspective on how AI enables large-scale transformation within a 100-year-old institution, why everyone should have a secure AI assistant, and the cultural components that will unlock the next wave of enterprise AI adoption.

    Quick hits from Sastry:

    On using AI to enhance security awareness training: “We used to send static phishing emails. Now we use generative AI to create training campaigns that are more realistic—and way harder to spot.”

    On AI’s strategic impact for legacy enterprise: “AI will play the biggest role in the operational aspects of large, old companies, like digitization did 15 years ago.”

    On the importance of leadership: “We talk about platforms, processes, and people. But one of my mentors told me: it’s people, people, people.”

  • From Automation to Agentic AI with Nextdoor CIO Shyam Bhojwani
    May 14 2025

    On the 51st episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) talks with Shyam Bhojwani, Chief Information Officer at Nextdoor. With millions of users across the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, Nextdoor is one of the largest neighborhood-based platforms in the world, connecting communities with real-time information, local recommendations, and public safety alerts. In this conversation, Shyam shares his perspective on how AI is shifting automation from static workflows to dynamic, context-aware agents, why IT and cybersecurity are prime candidates for fast AI wins, and how culture, architecture, and data readiness all shape the long-term success of enterprise transformation.

    Quick hits from Shyam:

    On unlearning in the age of AI: “Every day with AI is a new learning but also a lot of unlearning. What we thought wasn’t possible yesterday is already possible today.”

    On the evolution from automation to agentic orchestration: “Earlier, you would sort of create static processes, step A, step B, step C. Now with AI, it can go from step A to step C based on context. These AI agents aren’t just automating tasks, they’re orchestrating workflows with real-time intelligence.

    On how to avoid AI chaos across teams: “There needs to be a centralized AI Ops team to connect the dots. Otherwise, every department ends up buying the same tool twice.”
