Drawing from proven enterprise playbooks, Ottolenghi will illustrate how CAIOs can align stakeholders, accelerate adoption, and establish themselves not just as technologists but as the voice of the future in the boardroom and the voice of the customer across the enterprise.

"Artificial intelligence is not just reshaping business models—it is redefining leadership itself," said Les Ottolenghi, CEO of VIP Play, Inc. "The Chief AI Officer is positioned at the center of this transformation. Those who can clearly translate the language of AI into strategic action will not only capture competitive advantage but will also define the direction of their industries.
