AI ambition is high. Capital is finite. Trust is fragile.

As organizations push to modernize and prove measurable ROI, product leaders are under pressure to move faster than ever but without compromising credibility, compliance, or long-term advantage. When speed and trust collide, how do you decide what to fund, what to ship, and what to scale?

This IRL Speaker Series is a candid, practical conversation with two leaders navigating that tension from very different contexts:

Amira Youssef, Chief Digital Transformation Officer, Bupa Arabia
Driving transformation in a highly regulated, trust-critical environment where moving fast without guardrails can carry real regulatory and reputational consequences.

Sonjoy Ganguly, Chief Product Officer, Digitalzone
Leading product strategy in a commercial B2B environment where adoption, differentiation, and measurable growth determine whether an initiative survives.

Moderator and Head of New York Chapter:
Vartika Rawat, Senior Director of Product Management, Capital One
Leads product and ops teams building scalable data and decisioning platforms that power acquisition offers and customer experiences across the cards/payments ecosystem. Previously, she led a global portfolio of payments intelligence / data & AI products at Mastercard, bringing 15+ years of fintech and data-product leadership.
Expect a real conversation about how senior product leaders make disciplined decisions in complex systems quickly, credibly, and at scale.

Registration is required to join. Seats are intentionally limited for a candid and collaborative atmosphere. Enjoy an inspiring evening of big ideas and peer-to-peer collaboration.

Where should LLMs take the wheel, and where should humans stay accountable?

LLM adoption is accelerating, and the competitive advantage is in the quality of the decisions leaders make about delegation, trust, and responsibility. The real product skill now is in designing for change, because capabilities and expectations will keep rising, and the rules that govern these systems will keep shifting.

On February 26, 6:00 pm PST, join us for a fireside chat with Amazon Artificial General Intelligence VP Vishal Sharma and Reddit Director of Product Management Amit Ghorawat, as they explore:

• A decision lens for where LLMs create durable leverage, and where they should be avoided
• A leadership approach to model providers as a long-term dependency, without betting your roadmap on a single point of failure
• How product leaders can build meaningful careers by choosing the right problems and taking risks they can stand behind
