Cyberattacks are no longer an “if”—they’re a “when.”

Emma Wright, Partner at Crowell & Moring and a leading voice in privacy and cybersecurity law, joins Tech Talks to share what really happens when your systems go down, why supply chain vulnerabilities keep boards awake, and how ransomware gangs like Scattered Spider operate.

We explore the hidden weak spots, why basic attacks still succeed, and how boards can prepare for the chaos when—not if—a breach hits. Plus, Emma unpacks the legal and operational risks of rushing AI adoption without proper governance.

In this episode, David Savage sits down with Jamie Anderson, CRO at UserTesting, to tackle one of the most glaring gaps in modern business: the disconnect between what companies think their customers experience… and what customers actually feel. With AI accelerating product cycles and market expectations rising, Jamie argues it’s never been more critical to embed real human feedback into every step of your design, marketing, and tech rollout process.

From AI chatbots to app onboarding, if you're not validating with users, you're building on sand.

🎧 Tune in to learn why testing everything—early and often—is your brand's best defense in a high-velocity digital world.

Can AI help you remember 100 million customers?

Andrew Bialecki, co-founder and CEO of Klaviyo, thinks it can, and should. In this episode, recorded at K:LDN, he explains why the days of fragmented, multi-channel marketing are over.

He paints a picture of a future where every brand (big or small) has a "digital brain" for seamless customer experience, powered by AI agents that feel human.

But what does this mean for heritage brands with soul?

To answer that, we turn to Hannah Bennett from Paul Smith, who joined David at the same event. She shares how tech is being used (carefully) to scale, while keeping the brand’s iconic personality alive.

Dmitri Krakovsky joins David to explain how Docusign is no longer just about digital signatures—it’s building a new category: Intelligent Agreement Management. From fully AI-assisted negotiation to automated risk scanning and workflow orchestration, Dmitri outlines the shift from one critical moment (“sign here”) to an entire lifecycle of smarter, faster agreements. He shares how this move is reshaping customer expectations, product strategy, and even how we think about the future of AI-human collaboration in business.

Docusign has been synonymous with digital transformation for years. But as AI matures and customers demand more than speed—they want intelligence, automation, and insight—Dmitri explains how Docusign is meeting the moment. The conversation explores global market differences, data governance, and the delicate balance of control between humans and AI agents. This isn’t about replacing jobs—it’s about unlocking work no one had time to do. And that’s the real opportunity.

David returns to his old school, Bedlington Academy, for a powerful conversation with Deputy Head Simon Collins. On the surface, it’s a story about education. But listen closely and it’s a story every business leader needs to hear. Simon reveals how modern schools are navigating AI, digital literacy, and real-world career paths—while building resilience, independence, and ambition in communities too often overlooked.

From AI in the classroom to unlocking aspiration in post-industrial towns, this isn’t just a lesson in pedagogy—it’s a call to industry to meet education halfway.

Education and tech have more in common than you’d think—fast-moving environments, shifting expectations, and a duty to prepare people for the future. In this episode, Simon Collins unpacks how schools like Bedlington Academy are embracing AI, personal development, and creativity to prepare students for careers that didn’t exist a decade ago. He’s clear: the tech world needs to show up, not just with advice—but with collaboration, empathy, and opportunity.
