Even before the disruption of generative AI, I've always found value in spending the time up front to 'Be an Expert' on whatever topic I'm working on. I take this seriously, and I've always been a big fan of having super-high standards and expectations. I maintain agility/incremental learning by holding firm on quality but aggressively controlling scope. I believe the core of valuable, differentiated, products lies in matching a deep understanding of the customer/problem with the product's core technical design decisions (usually data structures, algorithms, and design patterns).Now with gen AI as a "super power" the impact of all those beliefs is magnified whether building product, building customers/revenue, or running operations.I apply these core principles on all the teams I lead, and maximize the use of generative AI so that we will end up on the winning side of this disruption. We are all in.I run projects across the portfolio of companies in ESW Capital that span from Sales to Product to Engineering. I run Crossover.com, so if you are passionate about helping create a world where the best talent have access to the best jobs globally, you might be passionate about that.And finally, I spend a very large portion of my time on projects focused on bringing disruptive technology improvements to the world of education. This one is tough because most of the relevant establishments strongly resist change, but the importance and potential impact is so high. I never stop recruiting. I hire the best talent I can find regardless of physical location. My team is in the US, UK, Canada, India, and 10 other countries. If you are a domain expert in your area, passionate about any of these things, and 100% committed to embracing an AI-powered future, you should reach out or explore one of our job opportunities on Crossover.com
