Here’s my conversation with Leighanne Levensaler, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy for Workday. This is also episode eight of “Cloud Wars Top 10 Executive Insights.” As the tech companies in our Cloud Wars Top 10 rankings drive transformation not just in individual corporations but also in entire global industries, it’s essential for business executives to understand the strategic intentions of each of these vendors. That’s what this new limited series is all about.

Episode 8: Workday

As Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy for Workday, Leighanne discusses how machine learning is sewn into the fabric of Workday, so that every feature can be more personalized and more predictive. Workday has a customer base that is 2,700 strong, and they have opened up their APIs to customers so they can extend their experience in a multi-cloud environment. Leighanne also talks about how Workday has always taken the harder, longer road, managing not for just the quarter – but for generations. And, she discusses how and why she frequents Workday customer Panera, which is not mobile-first, but mobile-only.
