Join Kunal Chopra, CEO and Founder of Certivo, for an operational dive into turning artificial intelligence from a speculative tech pilot into a measurable driver of enterprise value. While many organizations struggle with "AI fatigue" and fragmented software implementations, traditional physical industries—from heavy manufacturing and construction to insurance, logistics, and government contracting—continue to rely on fragile manual spreadsheets, phone calls, and institutional memory. Drawing on two decades of operating experience as a public and private tech CEO (Kaspien, Beckett Group), enterprise general manager at Microsoft and Amazon, and hyper-growth leader at Groupon, Kunal shares a battle-tested blueprint for modernizing legacy compliance operations and driving real bottom-line growth.
