Quotable Insights

On GLP-1 Drugs Reshaping the Market

“GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are rewriting the rules of food. If you’re not paying attention, you’re already behind.”

On the Role of AI in Business

“In 2025, there will be two kinds of businesses: those that embrace AI and those that no longer exist.”

On Pairing Human Insight with AI

“AI can crunch the numbers, but only humans can ask: ‘What does this really mean, and why should anyone care?’ That’s where the magic happens.”

On Building Consumer-First Products

“The brands that win are the ones that listen—really listen—to what consumers want. AI makes that easier than ever.”

On observed data vs. reported data

“If you want to understand a lion, you don’t go to the zoo-you go to the savannah.

Al lets us go to that savannah and observe real consumer behavior, instead of just hearing what people say they do.”

On the say-do gap

“There’s a massive gap between what people say, what they do, and what they want.“

On Optimism and Technology

“I’m bullish on technology because I’ve seen how it can empower people, whether it’s helping farmers in a changing climate or founders launching new products. If we use AI as a tool to move humanity forward, we all win.”
