Disruption is the job

Overview

15 years ago I was a coder, but as my friend and I founded Zure, I became a CEO. This talk is about my views as a CEO of an independent company in 5 European countries. Our industry is facing a disruption in the form of AI. We have faced other disruptions earlier, such as Internet, Mobile, Cloud, and others. Are disruptions a threat, or an opportunity? The aim of this talk is to lessen your anxiety and increase your excitement, and if you happen to have FOMO or imposter syndrome, hopefully you'll have less of them after this talk.
